This environmental performance review shows that while Turkey's strong economic growth has been relatively decoupled from air emissions, energy use, waste generation, and water consumption, the country still faces many environmental challenges.
The aim of this report,TEEB Implementation: Supporting Biodiversity and Climate Friendly Land Management in Agricultural Landscapes - Background review for Kenya and Tanzania, is to assess the current knowledge on the values of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Tanzania and Kenya, to understand what can currently be readily assessed with respect to the interactions between climate change, biodiversity and agricultural development to look at major policy initiatives already in place in the environment and development space, and map key stakeholders.
This report investigates clean energy policy strategies in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and the European Union (EU) as a whole and finds that none of these pathways would lead to decarbonisation to the extent required to fulfil the European (Union and national) commitments under the Paris Agreement. The report points to a greater need for power system flexibility in order to expand intermittent renewables.
This paper discusses the inclusion of climate-related considerations in infrastructure planning and projects, and how investment in infrastructure can be scaled up to close the funding gap.
Climate change induces disruptions of our ecosystems, and the transition to a low-carbon economy significantly affects the political, economic and social landscapes. This Climate Brief gives an overview of the degree of implementation of climate-related scenario analysis to evaluate risks and opportunities by 2,003 companies surveyed in 2017.
