Urban energy models (UEM) are critical data-driven tools to support energy-efficient, climate-resilient city planning and its operations. They also play a key role in accessing the decentralised renewable energy generation potential within the city, which in turn help design and operate Net Zero Neighbourhoods. The development of UEMs depend upon the range of spatial...
To address the challenge of achieving universal access to cooling while avoiding substantial greenhouse gas emissions, we need to identify, implement and upscale low carbon and sustainable technologies. Renewable-based cooling options are among these solutions, but their application and transformational potential remain largely untapped. In this session, the International Renewable Energy Agency, the United Nations...
