In October 2010 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) announced its “30 Ways in 30 Days” initiative at a special Climate Neutral Network (CN Net). UNEP released 30 case studies in the run up COP16 in Cancun, Mexico to prove that solutions to tackle climate change were available, accessible and replicable.
In 2009 UNEP launched ACAD, a financing platform that aims to help African banks and eco-entrepreneurs unlock the potential of the continent’s nascent green economy, through education and seed funding for replicable projects that demonstrate innovative, locally appropriate market solutions to low-carbon growth and development.
