Intended Nationally Determined Contributions and Transport Mitigation Potential

Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are climate pledges that countries have made before the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2015. Transport-related climate actions were also included in the INDCs. Learn about INDCs of developing countries in Asia particularly greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets from transport, transport mitigation strategies, and suggested future steps.

The Energy Effect of Urban Water Security, Lessons from the Australian Millennium Drought, and Related Analysis

Urban water supply and use have a large energy impact. Rising energy use and cost also pose signficant risks to the water sector. Better understanding and management of the links between water and energy could help countries formulate a sustainable, whole-system approach that would ensure water and energy security and resiliency.

Quantifying the Energy Effect of Urban Water Security

Experts from the University of Queensland presented a systemic analysis of energy use in Australia's urban water system in this event on Quantifying the Energy Effect of Urban Water Security: Case Studies from the Australian Millennium Drought. Discussions included related work on water and electric utility planning, benchmarking city-scale water-energy performance, analysis of water-energy linkages within residential water use, and emerging tools and frameworks for decision making.
