INTRODUCTION
To keep the planet from warming more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the global agenda of net zero by 2050 and 2060 for Nigeria must be closely followed. Building towards Net zero means an equal amount of eliminated emissions counterbalances all greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving this will require rapid decarbonisation.
Decarbonising operations toward just transitions is critical to developing affordable, reliable, and low-carbon energy systems. However, understanding the basics of energy efficiency can be challenging, given its deeply intertwined technology, policy, and finance dimensions. And while energy efficiency is a rapidly expanding, multi-billion-dollar global industry, market, behavioural, and institutional barriers often hinder its uptake.
This three-day course on decarbonisation and energy efficiency is designed to help participants from the public and private sectors better understand, design, and implement strategies for reducing carbon emissions in energy economies. It focuses on cost-effective, local renewable energy solutions and incorporates the concepts of climate finance and carbon markets as part of the opportunities available.
Upon completion of the course, participants will have the ability to:
- Understand the science of climate change and the role of decarbonisation in mitigating its impact.
- Apply a system thinking approach to understanding the integration of building energy efficiency with the grid, smart cities, financial mechanisms, and policies.
- Identify energy efficiency’s role in meeting international, regional, and local climate goals.
- Explore emerging technologies such as renewable energy, storage, and carbon capture.
- Explore the opportunities decabonisation and energy efficiencies: the role of Climate finance and the Carbon Market.
