And because CHP displaces electricity generation from the power grid and reduces electric sector emissions Stacey Davis presents the results from CCAP’s report, “Expanding the Solution Set: How Combined Heat States expected to see growth in CHP will benefit from lower cost compliance with the 111(d) standard continued until the electricity, natural gas (and carbon price) outputs were essentially unchanged from Designing a compliance strategy that recognizes the electric sector emissions reductions from CHP will

announced $90 million in funding for developing countries’ Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions, or NAMAs In Colombia, South America, for example, one NAMA would develop areas around mass transit facilities We’re seeing real enthusiasm in Chile, Peru, Vietnam, and the Philippines, as well Colombia, and it’s

The International NAMA Facility announced its second call for NAMA Support Project Outlines, inviting promising proposals, including Colombia’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) NAMA, one of the five projects The Colombian TOD NAMA aims to promote smart development around public transit in order to reduce the TOD NAMA before implementation can begin.Read more about the Colombian TOD NAMA. of ambitious country-led NAMAs, thus delivering concrete greenhouse gas reductions on the ground as well

SO2/kWh, as has long been available from EPA’s eGRID data) or 2) using complex – and expensive – power AVERT quantifies the emissions reductions from efficiency and renewable energy projects, creating certainty reductions to meet NAAQS, this tool could also play an important role in estimating emissions reductions from To support states in allowing compliance via off-site clean energy projects that reduce emissions from EPA should sanction the use of the AVERT tool for estimating power sector carbon emissions reductions from

Helme and several other CCAP staff attended the 6th Green Climate Fund (GCF) Board of Directors meeting from core criteria for selecting developing country proposals to support with GCF funds, which delegates from Latin America Since the Colombia Transit-Oriented Development NAMA was selected by the Germany-UK NAMA CCAP’s Paolo Cozzi recently returned from Peru, meeting with government officials, private sector representatives Pablo and Michael will also be going to Cali, Colombia in April to advance the city’s efforts to reduce

the funding of the world’s first Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) NAMA in Colombia. The TOD NAMA will transform urban development in Colombia, shifting how and where public and private Colombia’s TOD NAMA will couple strategic investments in catalytic neighborhoods with policy innovation Colombia has looked beyond the transportation sector to tap financial and policy resources from the housing NAMA will institutionalize TOD as the standard new template for urban development in Colombia.

When implementing transit oriented development (TOD), include green infrastructure to address heat and

most recent dialogue was hosted by the Philippines Climate Change Commission in Manila, Philippines, from CCAP and other presenters brought in case studies of successful efforts from the Asia region, Europe and Latin America, including well-developed NAMAs in waste and transit-oriented development from Colombia practice analyzing the economics of technology options in the waste sector, and received feedback from The MAIN initiative is undertaken with generous support from Denmark’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and

in defining its business model for supporting climate mitigation, there is much that can be learned from concept as defined by the UK-German NAMA Facility which will announce the first NAMA winners at the The NAMA Facility was conceived to support country-led NAMAs that aim at “catalyzing transformational Facilitating this “race to the top” mentality will be influential in winning significant pledges to the GCF from reducing investment risk, the key is to create an environment where the private sector shifts away from

The NAMA concept was first introduced in the UNFCCC negotiations in 2007 at the 13th conference of the NAMAs and their implementation can, furthermore, provide realistic information about the greenhouse gas potential contribution to a 2015 agreement from both supported and unilateral actions. finance from bilateral sources as the multilateral Green Climate Fund. We expect that these concepts will be further refined in the near future.

We shared the example of the Colombia TOD NAMA proposal for consideration in the Mexican context. All this will be integrated into a TOD NAMA proposal expected to attract additional funding and facilitate Cars would be banned from the main historic street. Zacatecas’ plan goes even further, illustrating the concept of increased density within 400m circles ’s and would consider acting as a pilot city for national action in the context of the planned TOD NAMA
