Nationally Determined Contribution to expand electric power generation from geothermal and limit its net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2030 to 145 Mt CO2e or lower. This would constitute a 255 MtCO2e reduction from the projected ‘business-asusual’ (BAU) emissions in 2030 or a 64% reduction from the BAU scenario in 2030.
Climate experts from Africa met in Kenya to discuss collaboration and technology transfer. Representatives from government, private sector, finance and research institutions gathered in Nairobi, Kenya.

Progress must be made, locally and internationally, to create an environment where climate action and access to energy are congruent goals in least developed countries
By Hamid Abakar Souleymane, LDC representative to the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) Advisory Board and Jukka Uosukainen, Director, Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)
Launched at COP21 in Paris, the CTCN Stakeholder Forum will host three workshops in 2016, the first in coordination with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)’s Green initiative, the Private Finance Advisory Network (FPAN), DNV GL, CIPIT and the Kenya Climate Innovation Centre. One hundred and fifty stakeholders will gather at Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya, from 5-7 April, to discuss the deployment of key technology solutions in Kenya, Burundi, Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
Fifty years ago, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution establishing the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Since then, UNIDO has become the UN system’s industrial development arm, and today continues to work to eradicate global poverty by assisting developing and middle income countries in achieving inclusive and sustainable industrial development.
During COP22, the Centre shared details on its progress and trends in technology transfer in terms of bridging gaps between countries' technology planning and the innovators and financiers implementing technology solutions.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is mandated by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC to promote the accelerated development and transfer of climate technologies at the request of developing countries for energy-efficient, low-carbon and climate-resilient development together with partners.
As we move into the post-2015 era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world faces many seemingly intractable problems. Malnutrition should not be one of them. Countries that are determined to make rapid advances in malnutrition reduction can do so. If governments want to achieve the SDG target of ending all forms of malnutrition by 2030, they have clear pathways to follow. There are many levers to pull, and this report provides many examples of countries that have done so. Tackling malnutrition effectively is also key to meeting many other SDG targets.
This food policy report reviews resilience processes, activities, and outcomes by examining a number of case studies of initiatives by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to enhance resilience capacity, and draws implications for policymakers and other stakeholders looking to strengthen resilience.
