HIGHLIGHTS AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING
The TUEWAS Women database is a crowd-sourced database of women experts working in transport, energy, water, environment/climate, and urbanism in Asia. Asia is filled with outstanding women professionals, and our database aims to showcase their talent, to connect experts and decision makers, and to offer event organisers a valuable tool for finding speakers and disrupting the cycle of men-dominated events.
The study shed light on localisation of the industrial sector amid the energy transition, via various aspects: policy framework, international experience, current status and potential of wind and solar power in the period 2025-2050.
During Bernd’s one month of working in Viet Nam, he has been highly appreciated by the partner for his valuable sharing and experiences related to operating power system with high proportion of RE in Germany.
Composting is one of the best ways to reduce the amount of mixed waste entering landfills – and it contributes to reduce methane emissions.
Districts and Municipalities in Cambodia develop local waste management plans in a participatory manner with involvement of sub-committees
Indonesia’s waste battle finds a potent ally: its women. Despite barriers, ERiC -DKTI project taps into their potential, driving grassroot change for a sustainable future.
Like a map drawn on sand, vital waste information gets washed away by institutional silos, inconsistent methodologies, standard and format. This lack of clarity leaves us a drift in a sea of uncertainty.
Not the glittering coin in the pocket, but the invisible river of funds coursing through the city’s veins. Nowhere in Indonesia is its flow more crucial than in the unseen battle against waste problems.
Lacking adequate infrastructure, battling weak regulations, and facing a public largely unaware of the impending environmental and health threats, regional leaders have been struggling to find out the most efficient waste management strategies.
The ASEAN Power Grid Advancement Program (APG-AP) is a landmark partnership between CASE, ACE and ETP in supporting the establishment of the ASEAN Power Grid, as the backbone for the energy transition in the region.
According to the Indonesian Law, the development of public transport falls under the authority of the regional government. But how would the regional government take on the role when faced with funding constraints?
How can we intersect urban development with the topics of biodiversity and environment, as foreseen in the BMZ position paper “Sustainable Urban Development”? What are ways of interlocking bilateral and multilateral development cooperation in line with BMZ’s strategy for multilateral development policy? One of LICA’s focal persons sheds light on these questions from his perspective as the town planner of Sirajganj municipality in Bangladesh.
