Climate Innovation Centres: A New Way to Foster Climate Technologies in the Developing World?

This analytical report was commissioned with the aim to develop practical recommendations on the design of Climate Innovation Centres (CICs). The report shows how CICs can: develop and deploy appropriate technologies to mitigate and adapt to climate change; catalyse competitive domestic industries in clean technologies for job creation and economic growth; and deliver ancillary climate technology benefits such as energy security and access, and reduced local pollution. The report is intended to assist a wide audience – including developing country decision-makers, technology entrepreneurs, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), industry, NGOs, and donors – understand and develop CICs as part of a strategy to transfer, develop, and deploy advanced climate technologies suitable for the developing world.

Clean Development Mechanisms – Methodology for Baseline and Additionality Analysis for Multiple Project Categories: Guideline Document

This manual provides guidelines for project developers seeking to develop Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) or Joint Implementation (JI) projects in the industry, energy, and other sectors, where projects aiming at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can take place. The guidelines are intended to be applied in the planning stages of an emission reduction project to support the work involved in preparation of the project design documentation for registration. In particular, the document assists project developers to: determine proper system boundaries within which emissions can be calculated; identify and describe a baseline for the proposed project; account for expected changes in GHG emissions; and document and justify the baseline selection process.

Cities and Climate Change Initiative: Maputo, Mozambique

This document briefly introduces environmental risks and vulnerability of the city of Maputo, Mozambique. Maputo is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change since it faces the Indian Ocean and is the most densely populated urban area in Mozambique. The rising sea level has resulted in salty intrusion, impacting on agricultural activities and contributing to urban poverty. Further sea-level rises will result in flooding of the lowest topographical areas – which are the most populated – negatively impacting on the urban poor who have limited capacity to adapt to climate change. Maputo is one of the 4 cities that participate in the Cities and Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) aimed at strengthening the climate change response of cities and local governments.

Cities and Climate Change Initiative: Kampala, Uganda

This document briefly introduces environmental risks and vulnerabilities of the city of Kampala, Uganda. Kampala is characterized by urban sprawl and increasing informal settlements resulting from increasing population pressure and inadequate land use planning. The settlements are located in high risk areas with poor sanitation and prone to flooding. Due to the high water table, most of the wells/springs are contaminated by fecal matter resulting in safe water coverage of only 55% that is exacerbated by inadequate solid waste collection which currently stands at 55%. Kampala is one of the 4 cities that participate in the Cities and Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) aimed at strengthening the climate change response of cities and local governments.
