Event: Identifying Global Actions to Advance CCS in Industrial Applications [viewed]
This workshop, organized by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), will discuss the steel, cement, refining, chemicals and other major energy-intensive sectors in the context of technology readiness, project development models and supportive policy regimes. The event, which is aimed at governments and companies active in the relevant sectors, will focus on eliciting key messages and policy conclusions. Recent work on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in industrial applications in different regions will also be considered. An afternoon working session will address the report to the fourth Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM4).
31 January 2013: A review document by the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) considers megatrends in transport, the Partnership's effectiveness towards realizing its objectives, and future directions.

30 January 2013: The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has reached the 6,000 project milestone, with the registration of the “Phuong Mai 3 Wind Power Project,” a wind power project in Viet Nam expected to reduce 32,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year.
23 January 2013: Indonesia has submitted the "Sustainable Urban Transport Initiative" as a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA), seeking support for implementation. The initiative seeks to foster sustainable urban transport in Indonesian cities through the adoption of measures to stop the increasing motorization in the country and diminish existing externalities of transportation.
22 January 2013: The UN Development Programme's (UNDP) Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) has published a “Handbook on Capitalisation of Experiences 2012.” The Handbook focuses on climate change adaptation experiences and aims to build the capacity of climate change adaptation programmes and project teams. 
17 January 2013: The Government of the Cook Islands has submitted a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) seeking support for implementation to pursue the objective of achieving electricity 100% based on renewable sources by 2020. The proposal includes an implementation plan to generate 50% of its energy production from renewables by 2015, phasing out its current diesel generator-dominated system.
