Institutions all over the world are setting up microcredentials in responses to calls from governments and industry: short courses, usually offered online by accredited institutions, with an emphasis on the needs of the workplace. They are also often used for retraining and upskilling. This book explains how to start offering microcredentials as an academic institution.
This guide aims to accelerate the flexibility and responsiveness of learning systems by providing guidance on the design, issue and recognition of micro-credentials.
This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
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.
The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023 is an annual collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Climate Change High-Level Champions. It takes stock of emissions reductions in key energy subsectors and focuses on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions.
The Green Cement Technology Tracker aims to support decision-makers and experts in policy and industry, academia as well as civil society, by tracking public announcements of investments in low-carbon cement technologies and presenting them transparently in one place.
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.
This report helps policymakers develop building codes and regulations that promote the construction of green buildings.
