Dear colleagues, partners and friends,
We hope that this newsletter find you and your families in good health. At UNEP DTU Partnership based in Copenhagen, we are gradually returning to the office, but realising that many friends and colleagues at our collaborating institutions in the Global South are still facing major challenges due to the scale and impact of COVID-19.
We hope that you will enjoy our latest newsletter, which includes news from our partner countries, regions and institutions, this time Mexico and the Mediterranean, as well as new partnerships. We also invite you to listen to our new podcasts, update your knowledge on regional climate technologies summarized in three UNFCCC, UNEP and UNEP regional briefs and invite you to download our newest publications on NDCs and on Markets and solar PV in Kenya respectively.
We look forward to engaging with all of you directly again, but until then we wish you and your families good health.

Improving data and building transparency in Mexico
|
|
|
The States of Hidalgo and Oaxaca in Mexico have recently applied UNEP DTU Partnership’s flagship climate tool for mitigation assessment, the Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO), as an instrument to increase precision in calculations of current greenhouse gas emissions.
GACMO has served to close gaps in the subnational data by assessing the impact of mitigation measures in the energy, forestry and waste sectors and it will help link the efforts made by subnational entities by properly accounting for their contribution to the NDC.

Mediterranean municipalities in street lighting exercise
|
|
|
The Mediterranean region is rich in renewable energy sources and has a huge potential to increase energy efficiency in areas such as street lighting, cooling and heating, building construction and renovation.
Under the umbrella of a Memorandum of Understanding signed at COP25 in December 2019, the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency and the Union for the Mediterranean now join forces in an exercise to support municipalities in their efforts to achieve a sustainable energy transition.

|
|
With over 1 300 registrations, the series of Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) webinars "Climate technologies and Technology Needs Assessments" have generated great interest from governments, academia, businesses and NGOs worldwide and have created a momentum for the uptake of climate technologies, towards the achievement of the Paris Agreement goals.
Over the past three months and together with its regional TNA partners and country representatives, UDP and UNEP have, in close collaboration with the UNFCCC, organised a series of regional webinars to provide an overview of countries' climate technology priorities and activities to enhance their implementation.
Launched together with "Regional Technology Briefs", the three webinars focused on the following regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America & the Caribbean. Read our Regional Technology Briefs and listen to our recorded webinar on the TNA website
