This blog describes four opportunities for digitalisation to accelerate just energy transitions: smart energy management, decentralized energy systems, climate-resilient farming, and public transport.
This brief explains UNDP’s framework for inclusive digital transformation in support of the SDGs
This report provides an outline of Solar Sister’s efforts to empower women energy entrepreneurs through digital technology, key learnings from our pilot efforts, and recommendations for the path forward.
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.
