Buildings are significant contributors to GHG emissions, making it imperative to reduce their energy demand and carbon footprints to meet Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. In Asia, high energy consumption and rising cooling demands from buildings propel governments to shift to bio-based materials, better design and efficient appliances.

Vietnam currently discharges 27.8 million tons of municipal solid waste per year, with an annual growth rate of 12%. Of which, big cities such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh discharge approximately 6,000 – 8,000 tons per day. Currently, the main waste treatment method in Vietnam is landfill dumping that...

GGGI’s program on promoting solar irrigation pumping systems and mini-grids is designed to accelerate the deployment of solar irrigation solutions contributing towards climate-smart agriculture practices. In Ethiopia, energy access has always been an issue hindering economic development. Though some reasonable progress has been made in urban and peri-urban areas, the...
Most recent data available indicates that the primary energy intensity level in Lao PDR regressed by 72.3% between 2010 and 2015 due to, among others, limited information on energy consumption patterns, lack of public or private sector capacity for energy efficiency planning and implementation, limited regulatory framework, and...
Colombia is the world’s fifth largest coal exporter, with the sector representing 1.1% of the national GDP in 2019 and 40% of the GDP of coal-producing territories. Coal provides direct employment for more 35,000 people and pays over 760 million USD worth of royalties per year to local governments. Yet...
The Lab is looking for innovative finance solutions that can unlock investment to tackle some of the most difficult climate and sustainable development challenges and investment opportunities for a post-COVID, green economic recovery.
There is an urgent need to ensure that countries’ infrastructure systems are able to support sustainable development in a changing climate. There are a growing number of good practices in doing this, but they remain the exception rather than the norm. Capacity and financial constraints are hindering the uptake of...
