WGS: AI evolution, Palestine and the energy transition in

On day two of the World Government Summit, as the rain eased, delegates gathered once again to discuss a wide range of focus areas, from the Palestine crisis to the energy transition. Likewise, AI was once again in the spotlight, with discussions exploring its potential as a new frontier, its applications in education, and the need for oversight.

Energy and Resource Efficient Urban Neighbourhood Design

Urban areas generate around 70% of global energy use and energy-related Green House Gas (GHG) emissions (IEA 2009), thus cities in the developing world, where most of the growth will take place, will have a significant impact on GHG emissions, seriously threatening any effort to reduce them – unless new urban developments are designed to minimise their impact.

Urban Energy Technical Note 16: Gasifier Stoves | UN-Habitat

Gasifiers produce wood gas which is a syngas fuel which can be used as a fuel for furnaces, stoves and vehicles in place of petrol, diesel or other fuels. During the production process biomass or other carbon-containing materials are gasified within the oxygen-limited environment of a wood gas generator to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Urban Energy Technical Note 03: Sun Shading | UN-Habitat

The most significant factor affecting the built environment in the East Africa region is solar energy, which impacts on it throughout the year. The shapes of buildings and spaces have a great effect on indoor temperatures. When designing a new building, it is very important to pay attention to the needs of its users and to consider the environment they are likely to spend most of their time in.

These challenges are exacerbated by the complex socio-political context, including the division of Palestinian

Energy Requirements And Utilization In Rural And Urban Low

Particularly in rural areas, the difficulty of providing energy for human settlements is becoming one of the greatest constraints on the improvement of living conditions. It cannot be expected that the great mass of poor rural people will be able to upgrade their shelter and settlements, unless we can find cheap, practical solutions to the problem of energy supply.

Urban Energy Technical Note 07: Energy and Resource

The best opportunities for energy efficiency in buildings are at the design stage. Designing for energy efficiency reduces the overall demand for resources to generate energy. This checklist will help to identify key design issues that will demonstrate whether the proposed design will be energy efficient.
