Artificial Intelligence for Climate Action: an initiative by the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement
The UNFCCC Technology Mechanism is setting in motion an initiative to explore the potential role of artificial intelligence as a powerful technological tool in advancing and scaling up transformative climate solutions for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, particularly for the most vulnerable communities.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) assisted Bangladesh to identify and prioritize saline water purification technologies at household level and low-cost durable housing technologies applicable for coastal areas.
The UNFCCC Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Initiative (WIPO), the Northeast Water Innovation Network (NEWIN), and InvenTrust are inviting to join an innovation competition to address two key challenges, essential in pathways to a global, safe, and sustainable future:
• Energy Efficient Water Desalination
• Eliminating Leakage in Water Distribution
Solomon Islands comprise hundreds of islands. Solomon Islands Water Authority (SW), a state-owned enterprise, is mandated to operate as the provider of municipal water and wastewater services. About 95% of total installed capacity of electricity generation in Solomon Islands is based on fossil fuels, and the balance 5% is through renewable energy sources. The electricity tariff of Solomon Islands is one of the highest in the Pacific since a major share of electricity in the Islands is met through fossil fuels.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) presents a series of briefs as part of the UNEP-UNDP-IUCN EbA Mountain Project partnership and work from project countries - Uganda, Nepal and Peru. The content draws on lessons generated by the broader global EbA community of practice. Please find the first brief below.
The briefs are designed for practitioners, including local government representatives, civil society organizations and other actors working on climate change issues.
