The Ocean Accounts Framework is based on existing statistical standards, the System of National Accounts (SNA), used to measure national economies and the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) used to measure environment-economy linkages. This presents a coherent measurement framework that links economics, ecology and sociology. Many of the information requirements and analytical objectives of the Ocean Accounts Framework are consistent with those of climate change and disaster risk analysis.\nParticipants will learn about the basic principles of environmental-economic accounting and how they have been applied to integrating data on the ocean. The benefit will be linking to a new community of practice on ocean accounting.\nThe framework is described in the Technical Guidance for Ocean Accounting, available on ESCAP\u2019s Regional Ocean Accounts Platform. Further development of the framework and pilots will be undertaken by the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership, a collaboration of ESCAP with the University of New South Wales and several institutional partners. Interested countries and institutions are welcome to join the partnership, request advice on pilots and comment on the documentation.The Ocean Accounts Framework began piloting in several countries in mid-2019 and\u0026nbsp;results of those pilots were reported at the First Global Dialogue on Ocean Accounting in Sydney, Australia in November 2019. Related projects have been conducted, such as scoping of a global ocean ecosystem map, an inventory of global datasets and scoping of data and models linking sea temperature and fish stock.\nPresenters:\n\nMichael Bordt is Senior Economic Advisor on Ocean Accounts with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. He retired from a long career as environmental statistician Statistics Canada and served at ESCAP as Regional Advisor on Environment Statistics from 2016 to 2019. His team at ESCAP was the main motivator of a new approach to integrating data and statistics on the ocean.\nTeerapong Praphotjanaporn joined ESCAP Statistics Division in 2011. He has led and coordinated a wide range of ESCAP statistical capacity development programmes such as environment, disaster, gender and health statistics. He is an Asia-Pacific focal point for the partnership on mainstreaming the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) and a part of the ESCAP team that pioneered a statistical approach to ocean data and statistics.\nLyutong CAI is the technical assistant on Ocean Accounts with ESCAP Statistics Division. With the background of physical oceanography, she provided technical assistance for the pilot projects in China, Malaysia, Samoa, Thailand and Viet Nam. By developing the comprehensive global ocean data inventory, she contributes to broadening the availability of ocean statistics on the scientific ocean data.\n\nPlease find more information and relevant materials about ESCAP Ocean Accounts Platform here.\u0026nbsp;\n","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Video":"\n\u003Cspan class=\u0022file file--mime-video-vimeo file--video\u0022\u003E \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/vimeo.com\/384816084\u0022 type=\u0022video\/vimeo\u0022\u003Ectcn-_ocean_accounts_webinar_introduction_on_ocean_accounting_-_managing_our_impacts_on_the_ocean\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n","url":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/webinars\/ctcn-ocean-accounts-webinar-introduction-ocean-accounting-managing-our","Image":"\/sites\/default\/files\/50451b94321b97ddbe56b6f2f19952c72c052c9025e2aea813pimgpsh_fullsize_distr_0.jpg","Date_and_time":"\u003Cdiv class=\u0027daterange\u0027\u003E\n  \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__date daterange__start-date\u0027\u003E\u003Ctime datetime=\u00222020-01-14T16:00:00Z\u0022\u003E01\/14\/2020 - 16:00\u003C\/time\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\n  \n  \n      \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__timezone\u0027\u003EEurope\/Copenhagen\u003C\/span\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Nid":"34728","Title":"CTCN webinar: Women greening the energy sector","Body":"The Climate Technology Centre \u0026amp; Network (CTCN), the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and S2 Services invite you to the webinar focused on women\u0027s representation as energy professionals, active leaders and contributors to the global green energy supply chain.

Integrating large shares of renewable energy into the grid, in particular, solar PV and wind whose generation is intermittent in nature, is still challenging. The way the systems were traditionally operated and the markets were designed did not envisaged these technologies: variable generation requires a flexible power system, able to respond to its intermittencies, while the distributed renewable technologies change the paradigm, injecting electricity in the grid from the consumer\u2019s side. Therefore, in order to reach a high share of renewable energy in the grid, a systemic transformation needs to take place, which leads to innovations in all dimensions: enabling infrastructure is being developed, new business models emerge, the regulation of the market is being adapted as well as system operations.\nThe good news is that there is no lack of innovative solutions, but on the contrary, many innovations emerge in all aspects along the power sector value chain all over the world. The challenge is in fact to keep ourselves informed and up to date, and to understand their relevance in specific contexts and power systems.\nTo shed some light into the emerging innovative solutions, IRENA recently launched the report \u201cInnovation Landscape Report on the Power Sector Transformation: Solutions to Integrate Variable Renewables\u201d and would like to invite you to participate to the webinar, which aimed\u0026nbsp;to:\n\nOutline types and relevance of different innovative solutions in specific contexts;\nProvide insights to policy\/decision makers on the requirements for the implementation of innovative solutions;\nShare success stories and lessons learnt.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\nOrganisation\nThe International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serves as the principal platform for international cooperation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge on renewable energy.

Along with this significant milestone, the International CCS Knowledge Centre recently released a feasibility study to retrofit SaskPower\u2019s Shand Power Station, (Shand) a 300 \u2013 MW, single unit, coal-fired power plant that has double the capacity of BD3 with a large-scale, CCS facility.\nOrganisation\nThe International CCS Knowledge Centre\u2019s (the \u201cKnowledge Centre\u201d) mission is to accelerate the global deployment of carbon capture and storage through the advancement of the understanding and use of CCS as a means of managing global GHG emissions. The not-for-profit corporation was established in 2016, by BHP and SaskPower, to provide access to the data, information and lessons learned from SaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 facility and by incorporating the knowledge and experience from CCS projects elsewhere in the world.\nSaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 began operation on 2 October 2014 as the world\u2019s first commercial scale coal-fired power plant incorporating amine solvent absorption carbon capture. To this day, it remains the only fully-integrated commercial scale CCS plant on a coal-fired power plant. This has demonstrated that CCS can be deployed on a commercial scale.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre facilitates, in an advisory role, based on expertise and lessons learned from the Boundary Dam experience.\nThrough the Knowledge Centre, power producers, industrial emitters, research bodies and others can access the information they need to consider and develop CCS as an option to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre also offers information to governments and NGOs that need it for the enhancement of progress of CCS technology.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.

During this time, he served as both an engineer and a project manager focusing on: building the original business case; scope definition and delivery of the power plant upgrades and capture plant integration; and most recently has spent the past 3 years leading the effort to resolve deficiency and operational issues at the facility. Prior to joining the clean coal initiative, Corwyn spent 5 years with SaskPower leading the control system replacement projects at Poplar River Power Station in 2006 and again in 2008. Previously, he spent 10 years with ABB \/ Bailey Controls, designing, commissioning and tuning control system upgrades on thermal power plant and industrial facilities in Western Canada.\nBeth Hardy - As VP of Strategy and Stakeholder Relations, Beth leads the Knowledge Centre\u2019s considerations of policies and regulations that foster CCS; and focuses on helping to link CCS knowledge with other countries to reduce locked-in investments and collaboratively support the goals of the Paris Agreement. Her understanding of complex climate change matters, capacity building requirements, and international financing concerns act as a solid basis for assisting both national and international implementation strategies for technologies that support environmental targets. Prior to joining the Knowledge Centre, Beth worked briefly as legal counsel for the provincial Crown utility. She pairs this industrial perspective with regulatory knowledge as Acting Director of Climate Change with the Government of Saskatchewan. These positions are reflective of Beth\u2019s time with the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy where she focused on analysing provincial\/territorial climate action plans and making recommendations for low cost and sustainable pathways.

The International CCS Knowledge Centre\u2019s technical team has the world\u2019s most extensive operational CCS knowledge as they were instrumental in the integration of the CCS facility at SaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam Power Station (BD3) and over three years of operational experience.\n\nEarly in 2018, the BD3\u2019s CCS facility surpassed 2 Million Tonnes of Captured CO2. Along with this significant milestone, the International CCS Knowledge Centre offers, those looking to advance large scale CCS, the benefit of the essential lessons learned, such as: technical and engineering decisions, models and practices that are critical to ensuring success, and avoiding pitfalls and mistakes \u2013 ultimately to reduce the cost and risks in order to expediate the CCS deployment to mitigate emissions and take climate action.\nOrganisation\nThe International CCS Knowledge Centre\u2019s (the \u201cKnowledge Centre\u201d) mission is to accelerate the global deployment of carbon capture and storage through the advancement of the understanding and use of CCS as a means of managing global GHG emissions. The not-for-profit corporation was established in 2016, by BHP and SaskPower, to provide access to the data, information and lessons learned from SaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 facility and by incorporating the knowledge and experience from CCS projects elsewhere in the world.\nSaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 began operation on 2 October 2014 as the world\u2019s first commercial scale coal-fired power plant incorporating amine solvent absorption carbon capture. To this day, it remains the only fully-integrated commercial scale CCS plant on a coal-fired power plant. This has demonstrated that CCS can be deployed on a commercial scale.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre facilitates, in an advisory role, based on expertise and lessons learned from the Boundary Dam experience.\nThrough the Knowledge Centre, power producers, industrial emitters, research bodies and others can access the information they need to consider and develop CCS as an option to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre also offers information to governments and NGOs that need it for the enhancement of progress of CCS technology.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.

The use of wastewater has also increased, as millions of small-scale farmers in urban and peri-urban areas of developing countries depend on wastewater or wastewater-mixed water sources to irrigate crops for urban markets, often as they have no alternative sources of irrigation water. If used in untreated, inadequately treated or diluted forms, the undesirable constituents in wastewater can harm human health and the environment. Hence, wastewater irrigation is an issue of concern to public agencies responsible for maintaining public health and environmental quality. \nThe good news is that a paradigm shift is currently underway to a proactive interest in recovering water, nutrients and energy from waste streams.

They do this by broadly sharing the knowledge and lessons learned through the development and operations of the world-renowned Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility, operated by SaskPower in Saskatchewan Canada. This group brings together those with substantial experience in commercial operations of full-chain CCS with those early in the learning curve.\u0026nbsp;\nThis webinar is the first of a series of three webinars. The first webinar will provide an overall context of the International CCS Knowledge Centre and international work to date.\nOrganisation\nThe International CCS Knowledge Centre\u2019s (the \u201cKnowledge Centre\u201d) mission is to accelerate the global deployment of carbon capture and storage through the advancement of the understanding and use of CCS as a means of managing global GHG emissions. The not-for-profit corporation was established in 2016, by BHP and SaskPower, to provide access to the data, information and lessons learned from SaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 facility and by incorporating the knowledge and experience from CCS projects elsewhere in the world.\nSaskPower\u2019s Boundary Dam 3 began operation on 2 October 2014 as the world\u2019s first commercial scale coal-fired power plant incorporating amine solvent absorption carbon capture. To this day, it remains the only fully-integrated commercial scale CCS plant on a coal-fired power plant. This has demonstrated that CCS can be deployed on a commercial scale.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre facilitates, in an advisory role, based on expertise and lessons learned from the Boundary Dam experience.\nThrough the Knowledge Centre, power producers, industrial emitters, research bodies and others can access the information they need to consider and develop CCS as an option to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.\u0026nbsp; The Knowledge Centre also offers information to governments and NGOs that need it for the enhancement of progress of CCS technology.\nSharing of this knowledge and data is expected to help promote research and reduce the cost and risk associated with new CCS projects around the world.

It will explore the mix of funding needed to realize the people-centred national energy access plans outlined in PPEO 2016; which were based on the energy access priorities expressed by 12 energy-poor communities across Bangladesh, Kenya and Togo. With commentary from others in the sector, the webinar will highlight in particular:\n\nThe importance of distributed energy systems in providing universal access, and the financial implications of these;\nNational and global financing requirements for clean cooking fuels and technologies;\nThe role of finance in promoting gender equity and women\u2019s empowerment across the energy access value chain;\nNational financing strategies needed to address energy for productive and social uses beyond the household.\n\nFirst published in 2010, Practical Action\u2019s Poor People\u2019s Energy Outlook series shines a light on the energy access needs and priorities of poor people across the spheres of household, community services and productive uses of energy.\nCodified in the Paris Climate Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals, energy access is increasingly acknowledged as a pre-requisite to achieving broader development goals including economic prosperity, gender equality, health provision, and more. Investments in national energy systems have accordingly increased; however, while there is widespread recognition that most of these investments should go into decentralized energy systems which are often much faster and more economical, energy finance is still targeted disproportionately towards large-scale centralized infrastructure.

However, in Ecuador there are barriers that still need to be addressed such as high initial investments, lack of engagement of stakeholders, scarce or inexistent information, limited access to efficient technologies and lack of mechanisms for quantification and measurement of the benefits that energy efficiency has.\nIn this sense, the Ecuadorian Government has set as a priority the inclusion of energy efficiency as a public policy. As a result, the National Plan for Energy Efficiency has been developed with the aim of supporting public policy and implementing programs and projects that will foster the efficient use and supply of energy. In the webinar the effects of this plan on the longer will be analyzed.\nOrganisation\nThe National Institute for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies (INER) is a public research institute, responsible for the generation of scientific and technological knowledge and the development of local capacity in the energy efficiency and renewable energy fields.

Yet many countries still lack a sufficient number of domestically trained terrestrial carbon accounting (TCA) professionals.\u0026nbsp; Carbon accounting helps countries devise appropriate mitigation plans, and is also the core metric to evaluate whether countries\u2019 are meeting their national and international climate change aspirations.\u0026nbsp; Additionally, countries with more advanced carbon accounting professionals will likely be able to attract more climate finance for their proposals. This webinar aimed to help countries develop their own national core of GHG experts, for both inventories and mitigation.\u0026nbsp; Topics included reporting requirements of the Paris Agreement, overview of existing capacities, how to grow a national GHG team, and on-line and in-person ideas for moving forward.\nOrganization\nThrough academic and government partnerships, online courses, and hybrid workshops, the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (GHGMI) has been an innovator in capacity-building since 2007.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;GHGMI\u0027s mission is to address climate change by building and supporting a global community of experts with the highest standards of professional practice in measuring, accounting, auditing and managing greenhouse gas emissions.\u0026nbsp; GHGMI aims to meet the needs of governments, corporations and organizations large and small.\u0026nbsp; The Carbon Institute is an initiative of GHGMI, bringing together governments and academic institutions to build country-driven Terrestrial Carbon Accounting (TCA) certificate programs. Doing so will position countries to attract carbon finance and focus their land use mitigation efforts, all while complying with the reporting requirements of the Paris Agreement.\nPresenters\nJohn-O Niles teaches courses on terrestrial carbon accounting and REDD+.

Often the suitable technologies are developed locally as the local companies really understand the local needs. However, it is often hard for emerging technology companies to compete against the established supply chains and manufacturing scale of larger multi-national companies and so, regardless of technical superiority, many local solutions fail to get deployed.\n\nBuilding on Australia\u2019s experience of building a comprehensive climate technology innovation ecosystem, the first part of this webinar explored how to build a thriving regional or national cleantech ecosystem that can survive political changes and make a real difference. It explored how to find the best emerging technologies, nurture the companies to help bring them to market and to work with local industry to enable demonstration and deployment opportunities.\n\nThe second part of the webinar looked at options for linking international cleantech clusters in addition to the CTCN through international collaboration and knowledge sharing.\nPresenter:\nJohn O\u2019Brien MA(Oxon), MSc, MBA, GAICD, CPEng MIEAust\nJohn O\u2019Brien is the founder of both Australian CleanTech and Sino CleanTech - research and advisory firms that assist cleantech companies to grow, investors to successfully invest and governments to drive cleantech industry growth.

According to UNFCCC (2007 report), the cost of hurricane impacts has increased by two orders of magnitude in the Caribbean basin in the last 20 years, and hurricane intensity is expected to continue increasing. Renewable energy generation is the answer for replacing carbon-intensive energy generation, but there is concern about the ability of renewables to meet current and future energy demand. Combining renewable energy technologies with energy efficiency technologies and behavior changes can close the gap between clean energy supply and energy demand. Energy efficiency can also reduce current energy demands from fossil fuel generation and can serve as the bridge as renewable based generation replaces fossil fuel based generation over time.\n\nEnergy efficiency is both a mitigation strategy and an adaptation strategy. It consists of two areas of focus: efficient technologies and human behavior. Designing programs that engage large populations in practicing energy efficiency behavior can provide increased stability for current electricity supply (load balancing) and reduce overall electricity demand, allowing communities struggling with energy issues a chance to better prepare for changes in energy supply \u2013 whether caused by climate impacts, natural disasters, or by a transition to renewable generation.\nThis webinar focused on sharing best practices and successful experience in designing energy efficiency programs to create maximum returns on efficiency investments.\nPresenters\nSabrina Cowden, MBA\nAs a Senior Project Manager for Milepost Consulting, Sabrina has worked with a diverse range of clients, including Pacific Gas \u0026amp; Electric, Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge and the Tennessee Valley Authority.\u0026nbsp; From Indonesia to Indiana, she focuses on using innovative engagement techniques to guide diverse groups toward creative, strategic solutions.

At the CSIR Coastal Systems group, specialist skills in Coastal Engineering, Geographic Engineering systems and Numerical modelling are combined to assess and map vulnerable coastal ecosystems in order to develop specific adaptation measures and coastal protection options to mitigate the physical impacts of global climate change. Failure to understand the linkages between the biophysical Earth systems and the Ecological, Socio-Economic and external governance systems, within which man operates in the coastal zone, can spell disaster for even the most robust development or business.\nA few case studies will be showcased related to the highly interrelated study area of coastal safety and vulnerability, climate change and setback lines for the South African coast. These studies will showcase examples of state of the art mathematical and engineering technologies with the strategic research directions of harnessing wave energy, operational oceanographic forecasting (early notification systems), coastal erosion and sedimentation and working with nature for ecosystem health in and around South African ports. This presentation will also mention some of our clients and partners in academia and industry, both nationally and abroad and how together we can mitigate a sustainable future. Understanding the coastal environment is crucial for safety, sustainability and coastal development in a data poor environment and this is what the Coastal systems within the CSIR group specialize in.\nAbout the speaker:\nDr Christo Rautenbach is a senior researcher in the Coastal systems group of the CSIR.

The importance of technology is well recognized within climate change negotiation framework and is one of the important strands of discussion. Under the Bali conference of parties (COP) in 2008 a call was made to strengthen cooperation on technology R\u0026amp;D, deployment, diffusion, and transfer. Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs), which UNEP is implementing since 2009, is an outcome of this call and involves a set of country-driven activities that identify the mitigation and adaptation technology priorities of countries. The technology priorities have to be identified by the countries taking into consideration their various developmental and climate priorities through stakeholder consultations. These consultations can be facilitated through the application of multi criteria assessments.\nThis webinar has been designed by the UNEP DTU Partnership, a member of the Climate Technology and Centre Network (CTCN) Consortium and aims to give an introduction on Multi Criteria Assessment.

This includes both direct and indirect emissions. The share of the building sector in global GHG emissions was 19% (including direct and indirect) in 2010. The energy demand with associated emissions shall continue to grow, with projected demand to double by mid century and CO2 emissions shall increase by 50-150% in the same time period. In parallel, there are significant \u0026nbsp;advances in technologies, know\u2010how and policies that provide opportunities to reduce energy consumption in the sector. Both new and existing buildings need to be addressed in order to bring down the overall consumption levels and the associated emissions.\nThis webinar provides an overview of impact and relevance of energy consumption in the building sector in global scenario and its potential to mitigate climate change. The presentation highlights some of the key techniques and technologies that can help reduce energy consumption, including technologies related to building design and passive measures, material choices to reduce heat gains\/losses from buildings, low energy lighting and cooling systems. The webinar discusses the gaps and barriers that exist in the sector along with examples on policies and tools from India that have been in place to address these issues.

In the recent years, the scale of disasters has expanded, and a vast majority, almost 80%, of this growth is due to climate-related events. Changes in climate not only affect average temperatures, but also extreme temperatures, increasing the likelihood of weather-related natural disasters. Seas are rising because of climate change. So are extreme rain storms. There is growing evidence that warming temperatures are increasing the destructive force of hurricanes.\nMore extreme weather events in future are likely to increase the number and scale of disasters, while at the same time, the existing methods and tools of disaster risk reduction provide powerful capacities for adaptation to climate change.

Their inherent characteristics such as densely populated pockets, marginalized societies, and growing urbanization make them extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts, creating significant risks for large numbers of people. Urban development has long been incompatible with natural areas and has exploited the environment. However, proven technologies and management practices are now available, which can help cities to be models of environmental efficiency by lowering carbon footprint through more efficient infrastructure, policies, and planning.\n\nThis webinar has been designed by CTCN Consortium Partner, the Asian Institute of Technology, to be an introductory discourse on the inter-linkage between cities and climate change. The webinar will cover issues in both climate change mitigation and adaptation, particularly focusing on the technological interventions (hardware, software and orgware) that cities can adopt as part of their efforts to combat, and build resilience to, climate change. Through interactive Q\u0026amp;A sessions, participants will have the opportunity to put forward their questions and comments to the panel of experts.\n\nFour experts will take part in this webinar:\n\nDr. Sangam Shrestha: expert in climate change assessments and adaptation\nDr. Shobakar Dhakal: expert in energy policies, carbon market and finance, and low carbon society\nDr. Vilas Nitivattananon: expert in infra-structural planning, climate and costal cities\nProf. Kim Oanh: expert in air pollution, environmental monitoring and modeling\n\nThe webinar will be facilitated by Dr. Victor Shinde from the Asian Institute of Technology.\n","Organiser":"Asian Institute of Technology","Video":"\n\u003Cspan class=\u0022file file--mime-video-vimeo file--video\u0022\u003E \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/vimeo.com\/121347287\u0022 type=\u0022video\/vimeo\u0022\u003ECTCN Cities, Climate Change and Technologies, an Introduction\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n","url":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/webinars\/cities-climate-change-and-technologies-introduction","Image":"\/sites\/default\/files\/10985274_834721263233089_2766426585854180571_n.jpg","Date_and_time":"\u003Cdiv class=\u0027daterange\u0027\u003E\n  \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__date daterange__start-date\u0027\u003E\u003Ctime datetime=\u00222015-02-25T10:30:00Z\u0022\u003E02\/25\/2015 - 10:30\u003C\/time\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\n      \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__separator\u0027\u003E-\u003C\/span\u003E\n  \n      \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__date daterange__end-date\u0027\u003E\u003Ctime datetime=\u00222015-02-25T12:00:00Z\u0022\u003E02\/25\/2015 - 12:00\u003C\/time\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n  \n      \u003Cspan class=\u0027daterange__timezone\u0027\u003EEurope\/Paris\u003C\/span\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":"\u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/disaster-risk-reduction\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EDisaster risk reduction\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/land-use-planning\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ELand use planning\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/adaptation\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAdaptation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/mitigation\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EMitigation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/energy-efficiency-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEnergy efficiency\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/renewable-energy-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ERenewable energy\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/asia\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAsia\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/china\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EChina\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/accommodation-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAccommodation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/air-quality-management-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAir quality management\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/ecological-buffer-zones-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEcological buffer zones\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/integrated-solid-waste-management-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EIntegrated solid waste management\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/climate-change-monitoring-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EClimate change monitoring\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/ecosystem-monitoring-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEcosystem monitoring\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/breakwaters-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EBreakwaters\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/dikes-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EDikes\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/public-water-conservation-campaigns-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EPublic water conservation campaigns\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/switch-fossil-fuel-biomass-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ESwitch from fossil fuel to biomass\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/traditional-building-materials-and-design-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ETraditional building materials and design\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/urban-infrastructure-development-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EUrban infrastructure development\u003C\/a\u003E"},{"Nid":"1824","Title":"Urban Transportation Technologies That Address Climate Change","Body":"This webinar will address the climate change and development challenges of urban transportation (contributions, patterns, etc.) and how this sector can contribute to mitigation objectives.
