Capacity Building and Infrastructure: Participation in the Assessment, Methodology Development, and other Activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
The project aims to enhance and strengthen scientific and technical capacity of developing countries and countries with economies in transition through their experts' participation in IPCC activities, primarily in: (i) the actual writing of the IPCC assessment reports; (ii) IPCC workshops involving both (a) scientific and technical data and (b) training in various IPCC methodologies; and (iii) summarizing the findings of the assessment reports into Executive Summaries and Summaries for Policy-makers.
Lake Manzala Engineered Wetlands
Poor quality of Nile waters threatens health and livelihood of millions in Egypt while polluting the Mediterranean. Project traps sediments and pollutants from municipal, industrial and agricultural sources, demonstrating efficacy of this affordable, relatively simple, and efficient technology.
Protection of Marine Ecosystems of the Red Sea Coast
This project aims to protect ecosystems important to fisheries and biodiversity through improving knowledge and monitoring of Yemen's Red Sea resources and their use. The project also incorporates a regional component which is implemented by UNEP. This component will provide capacity building for PERSGA (Regional Environment Programme for the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden), based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Support for Regional Oceans Training Programmes
To increase capabilities and growth of regional contacts and communications networks, this project establishes four regional centers in Costa Rica, India, Fiji and Senegal that develop curricula and train scientists and officials from their respective regions. Participants in the training program jointly create intervention methodologies for later implementation in their countries of origin.
Fuel Efficiency in the Road Transport Sector
Project seeks to reduce emissions through improving vehicle fuel efficiency and urban infrastructure, based on well-known methods which Pakistan does not currently have capacity to implement. Builds capacity of officials to review transport options, expands pilot project to tune-up urban vehicles, evaluates ongoing programs, and develops options with regard to technology transfer, regulations and pricing.
Village-Based Management of Woody Savanna and the Establishment of Woodlots for Carbon Sequestration
This project is aimed at demonstrating the possibility of using ligneous formations in the semi-arid areas in order to stabilize the carbon balance by means of forest management and agrosylvopastoral measures adopted by the village communities and managed by the communities and the technical services.
Electricity, Fuel and Fertilizer from Municipal and Industrial Waste in Tanzania: A Biogas Plant for Africa
Project establishes Africa’s first large-scale biogas plant, converting methane produced by municipal waste into energy. With increased indigenous interest and capacity resulting from project, plant is to operate as independent profit centre capable of reinvesting profits in replication.
Climate Change Capacity Building
This project enhances the capacity of each of the participating countries to implement the Convention n Climate Change by facilitating the establishment of a national institution and process for the development of a strategy. Enhances the capacity of four regional partner institutions to play this role and creates and informal training network to allow the sharing of training resources developed by other programmes and institutions.
Optimizing Development of Small Hydel Resources in Hilly Areas
Project formulates technical and economic guidelines and furthers adoption of advanced technologies for small hydro resources in India's hilly region, which should reduce carbon emissions and mitigate deforestation. An integral part of government programme to expand prevelance of non-conventional energy sources, the project uses a more cost-effective design than those of present India plants in this field. The project is an integral part of the MNES Mini-Micro Hydel programme.
Selected Options for Stabilizing Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Sustainable Development
Assistance to government in assessing specific investment projects and related institutional and policy options for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Project also identifies and strengthens India's institutional, technical, and technological capabilities to assess global implications of energy efficiency and other projects which affect emission levels.
