Achieving this goal will require shifting capital from high-to low-carbon investments. Within this context, the German government, through the Federal Environment Agency, has commissioned Beyond the technical understanding of which technologies are compatible with the goal from an emissions However, preventing waste from ending up in landfill in the first place through reducing packaging, recycling the sector can be low-emissions and sustainable across other dimensions, such as improving health and quality

In the coming years, an important part of this work will be to help countries convert their contributions , CCAP shared our recent policy brief, which describes the steps countries will likely undertake to convert was positive: as the GCF scales up operations, there was broad agreement that supporting countries to convert potential funding opportunities for the Fund, a broader investment strategy can help attract financing from Doing so in the context of national strategies that identify opportunities to catalyze climate-friendly

Each year, nearly 1,000 industry leaders from the Latin American steel industry, representing 25 countries Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), there is a growing recognition that an effective outcome from INDCs from 36 countries already indicate plans to reduce emissions from metals and/or iron and steel. We can expect policies to lower emissions from iron and steel and schemes to encourage investment in only some countries act to reduce emissions in the sector, there is a risk of leakage of investment from

The paper takes a deep look at INDCs from key developing countries to assess their progress and explores ways to build on Paris’s momentum to advance the conversion process after COP21—converting intention With INDCs now on the table, there are strong signals from a variety of sources, including from the GCF With INDCs now on the table, a clear signal from Paris could spur a variety of sources, including the GCF, to provide the support to turn the INDC goals into concrete action.

(in cases where 2012 was idiosyncratic), adjustments to how the base year is calculated, or from changes shifts from coal to natural gas. the clean energy investment) can also benefit from lower emissions stemming from the same clean energy Under a mass-based standard, if the marginal unit is located in another state, it is conceivable that Whereas the proposal assumed that 6 percent of nuclear plants are at-risk in all markets, in reality,

As finalized, the Clean Power Plan will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector by 870 contribution to the U.S. goal of reducing economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28 percent in 2025 from First, all states can potentially benefit from a two year extension to submit a final plan, not just applicable to covered sources in a given state could lead to an increase in power generation and emissions from outside the covered source boundary—whether from new sources not covered by the Clean Power Plan, or

from the NAMA Facility and getting the GCF up and running, can boost the prospect of a robust and durable to € 5-20 million (from € 5-15 million). Concept notes (voluntary) can be submitted anytime and the Secretariat will provide feedback within 2 This is an excellent opportunity for countries to receive early feedback from the Secretariat to help CCAP encourages countries to submit NAMA concept notes to each of the funds to help them refine NAMAs
