This webinar addresses the climate change and development challenges of urban transportation and how the transportation sector can contribute to mitigation objectives.
Over the past three decades, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has promoted the mainstreaming of resource efficiency and cleaner production in industries and industrial parks located in developing and emerging economies, through pilot demonstrations as well as global knowledge and dissemination projects

An important way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that transport produces is to encourage and enable people to travel less. People travel less overall when they switch from private vehicles to public transport, walking or cycling, for reasons that will be explained. They travel less if their work is closer; if shops, health services and education are closer; and if family, friends and leisure activities are as well. They travel less if several purposes of travel can be covered in one trip, which is more likely if the places they need to visit are closer.
The National Designated Entity (NDE) of Tunisia organized a national event to raise awareness about the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) at the national level and to identify technical assistance request ides to facilitate the implementation of Tunisia’s Nationally Det
For fixed bottom mounted offshore wind concepts state of the art is to use jackups or crane vessels for assembly and installation operations. Sufficiently sized equipment that can operate under most weather conditions needs to be chartered increasing the cost of the wind park. In case of undersized equipment a considerable delay during the installation phase can be expected. Even if the costs of the tower and the nacelle will slightly increased in case of our invention the total costs of fabrication installation maintenance will be reduced.
Solar PV powered Industrial Park. The power for the industrial park will be provided by a 5MW solar PV plant. Excess power not used by sold to the grid to power a local school and trading center. It is assumed that the industrial park will utilize 500KW of this 5MW plant.
The City Transformer is a vehicle with folding capability: When the vehicle is in driving mode its track width is equal to the track width of a conventional vehicle. When it is in parking mode its track width is considerably smaller and the vehicle takes up a space similar to that of a motorcycle. The vehicle propulsion system is fully electrical. Since the vehicle is very light and its natural neighborhood is the city range issues are not anticipated. City transformer is designed according the European legislation as a quadricycle.
Numerous developing and emerging countries have ambitious plans for the development of renewable generation. Other countries show interest in renewable generation but corresponding plans are pending due to concerns relating to the consequences of fluctuating electricity generation. In both cases, the impact of renewable generation on system reliability and system security needs to be analysed in order to assess related risks and to propose mitigation measures for ensuring a secure and reliability power system operation in the presence of large penetration of renewable generation.
