Urban Climate Technology - Green solutions and water

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 • Duration 42:34

In this episode, we talk about climate technology in cities, and about implementing green solutions in an urban context. We look at overall issues, challenges and opportunities, and look closer at what we can learn from Thailand on governance for the water sector specifically.

Guests:
-Pakamas Thinphanga, project director at Thailand Environment institute, specializing in urban climate resilience –engaging with local communities and governments
-Blanche Ting, Energy Advisor at UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and editor of the Climate Technology Progress Report.

The episode references the Climate Technology Progress Report, which can be found here: https://unepccc.org/climate-technology-progress-reports/

And a recent webinar on governing urban systems transition, which can be found here: https://unepccc.org/events/governing-urban-systems-transition-how-to-meet-the-needs-for-climate-technology-transfer/

The Adaptation Finance Gap - Beyond the numbers

Thursday, November 2, 2023 • Duration 01:03:20

In this episode, we talk about the Adaptation Gap, more specifically the adaptation finance gap.

Joined by the authors of the finance chapter of UNEPs 2023 Adaptation Gap Report, we delve into the big numbers, go beyond them, and try to show what the adaptation finance gap actually means and what we can do about it.

The report shows an adaptation finance gap of 194 to 366 billion dollars - numbers that can seem almost surreal.

But, bridging the adaptation gap is not just about reaching the right amount of billions in finance, its also about how we spend the money, about equity, and about gender and social inclusion aspects.

As the report and the guests make clear, emissions reductions are urgently needed. Slow and insufficient climate adaptation is stretching the limits of our ability to cope with climate change, increasing loss and damage in the future.

Guests:

Paul Watkiss, Director of the research consultancy Paul Watkiss Associates
Dipesh Chapagain, Senior Research Associate at the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security.
Georgia Savvidou, research associate at Stockholm Environment Institute and PhD researcher at Chalmers University of Technology.
Blanche Butera, climate adaptation specialist at Paul Watkiss Associates. Based in Rwanda
Pieter Pauw, senior researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology

Carbon markets and climate finance - Article 6 in Pakistan

Tuesday, June 13, 2023 • Duration 33:23

In this episode we talk about carbon markets, and emissions trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
We look at Pakistan and the country's experiences, potential and needs when it comes to using Article 6 to both implement NDCs and raise climate finance and ambitions.

The guests discuss why carbon markets can be crucial and why Pakistan in particular is interested in using Article 6.
We also talk about what the barriers for using Article 6 and how the Supporting Preparedness for Article 6 Cooperation (or simply 'SPAR6C') programme can help Pakistan overcome them.

Guests:

Dr Saima Shafique, Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination of Pakistan, UNFCCC focal point and focal point for the SPAR6C Programme
Karen Olsen, UNEP carbon market coordinator
Xianli Zhu, Article 6 lead for UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre in Pakistan.

Transparency Special: The how and why of climate advisory institutions

Thursday, December 22, 2022 • Duration 32:58

What is a climate advisory institution, why are they important when it comes to climate policy and action, and what can we learn from Costa Rica when it comes to setting one up?

In this special transparency episode of the ClimateTech podcast we take a look at the how and why of climate advisory institutions, and look at how Costa Rica, has broadened the definition of data to improve climate action with the support of the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT).

Guests:
- Ana Lucía Moya Mora, CBIT coordinator, Costa Rica
- William Billy Holness, CBIT Regional Portfolio Manager for UNEP in the LAC region
- Per Wretlind, CBIT Coordinator at UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre

Climate Technology Progress - COP27 and beyond

Thursday, December 1, 2022 • Duration 13:37

When it comes to technology and climate action, it's no longer about the 'what', it is about the 'how'.
In this special COP episode we look at the progress of climate technology implementation and how COP27 addressed the needs and priorities from developing countries.
And then we look to COP28 and what is needed in the future to ramp up implementation and ambition.

Preventing food waste with tech and policy

Monday, February 28, 2022 • Duration 36:37

In this episode, we talk about food waste, and what we can do to prevent that huge amounts of food each year is wasted.

Why do tons after tons of perfectly edible food end up in landfills, and what kind of technology is out there, that can help us?

We also take a look at what kind of policies are needed to push the implementation of the technology.

The episode uses facts and analysis from the new 'Reducing Food Consumer Food Waste' report, available here:
https://bit.ly/TechReducingFoodWaste

You can also read more about UNEP's work to stop food waste here: https://www.unep.org/explore-topics/green-economy/build-back-better

Guests:
- Pornphrom Vikitsreth: Head of a food waste project pilot in Bangkok, and worked with UNEP projects on Recycling systems in Southeast Asia, promoting low-carbon lifestyles. He is also a lecturer at Thammasat University, focusing on sustainable development and a consultant on how to promote circular thinking in hotels and restaurants.

- Matt Homewood: Head of sustainability at the food tech company Throw No More. Prior to joining the company, Matt worked as an independent food waste campaigner to end supermarket food waste in Denmark and beyond, highlighting the massive amounts of edible food that gets thrown away every day.

Indigenous Peoples' technology and knowledge

Friday, November 26, 2021 • Duration 41:40

We talk about Indigenous Peoples' technology and the strength and barriers in a climate action context.

What are the strengths of IP knowledge and tech in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation?

How can we create synergies and win-win situations with modern climate technologies?

The general role of marginalised groups, such as Indigenous Peoples and women.

We also talk about the rights that Indigenous Peoples have, why respecting them is crucial and about the levels of acknowledgement and recognition within the UNFCCC system.

Guests:
- Tunga Bhadra Rai, national coordinator at the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities

Solar PV in Kenya, opportunities, challenges and barriers

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 • Duration 27:32

This episode of the ClimateTech podcast, and the interviews, build on a UNEP DTU Partnership project called Technology, Markets and Investment for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development, or simply just TEMARIN.
