This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This report highlights the main challenges and opportunities in energy transition financing from a regional perspective, highlighting commonalities and differences across Africa, Asia and the Pacific (APAC), Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
This report aims to support state-level leadership and action in pursuit of the just energy transition in Mexico, by providing a rationale for state-level action, an overview of international good practices, an analysis of challenges and opportunities, and a toolkit of energy transition measures that states can consider adopting.
This article discusses the potential of heat and electricity co-generation from biomass waste to both expand energy access and improve waste management in rural areas.
This paper gives an overview of waste to energy technologies, discusses barriers to its wider adoption in developing countries, and helps researchers and decision-makers to make informed decisions on the feasibility of WtE as a pathway for sustainable waste management and renewable energy generation.
This paper provides general guidelines for conducting Environmental Impact Assessments for waste-to-energy projects.
This paper explains how minimum energy performance standards for buildings can be implemented effectively while remaining socially just, using a differentiated approach that carefully follows a series of design principles.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
This guidebook helps practitioners adopt a holistic approach to sustainable neighbourhood design, integrating the design of efficient energy, water, wastewater and solid waste systems, and low energy mobility.
Designing for energy efficiency reduces the overall demand for resources to generate energy. This checklist will help to identify key design issues that will demonstrate whether the proposed design will be energy efficient.
