GCIP Cleantech Innovation Capacity Building Framework
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO, Cleantech Group
This framework is a key component of the UNIDO's Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) activities which focus on the Cleantech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (CIEE) strengthening and connectivity. Through GCIP, UNIDO helps strengthen the capacity of national cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in the GCIP partner countries, identifies synergies across these national ecosystems and facilitates knowledge exchange and partnership building among different CIEEs. This Framework serves as the reference document for these activities. It should be read in conjunction with other ecosystem strengthening outputs of GCIP, including the Cleantech Innovation Policy Strategy Framework, the Cleantech Innovation Cluster Development Framework, and the Cleantech Ecosystem Actor Engagement Framework. The Capacity Building Framework includes an evaluation questionnaire that countries can use to evaluate the maturity of key drivers of ecosystem effectiveness.
GCIP Cleantech Innovation Cluster Development Framework
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
This framework is part of the UNIDO's Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) activities which address Cleantech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (CIEE) strengthening and connectivity. Through GCIP, UNIDO helps strengthen the capacity of national cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in the GCIP partner countries, identifies synergies across these national ecosystems and facilitates knowledge exchange and partnership building among different CIEEs. The purpose of this framework is to provide guidance to project executing entities (PEEs) in GCIP partner countries in defining, recommending and implementing activities to develop successful and inclusive regional innovation clusters that have the potential of fostering high growth cleantech companies.
GCIP Cleantech Innovation Policy Strategy Framework
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO, Cleantech Group
This framework is a key component of the UNIDO's Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) activities which focus on the Cleantech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (CIEE) strengthening and connectivity. Through GCIP, UNIDO helps strengthen the capacity of national cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in the GCIP partner countries, identifies synergies across these national ecosystems and facilitates knowledge exchange and partnership building among different CIEEs. The purpose of this framework is to provide guidance to policymakers and project executing entities (PEEs) in the GCIP partner countries in defining and implementing policy strategies to promote cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship and to increase the participation of women and youth in cleantech entrepreneurial activities and as leaders in this sector.
GCIP Cleantech Innovation Actor Engagement Framework
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO, Cleantech Group
This framework is an integral component of the UNIDO's Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) activities which focus on the Cleantech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (CIEE) strengthening and connectivity. Through GCIP, UNIDO helps strengthen the capacity of national cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in the GCIP partner countries, identifies synergies across these national ecosystems and facilitates knowledge exchange and partnership building among different CIEEs. The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to project executing entities (PEEs) in GCIP partner countries in designing and implementing coordinated activities aimed at increasing internal connectedness in national and local CIEEs.
IID Policy Brief 12: Bridging the AI divide: Empowering developing countries through manufacturing
2024 | Author(s): G. Anzolin, N. Haraguchi, A.P. Nishio De Sousa, A. Savrasov, J. Reis
#Policy Brief
The disparity in AI development between advanced and developing countries threatens to widen the technological gap, with the latter frequently relegated to being mere consumers (i.e. becoming ‘technological colonies’) rather than becoming innovators and producers in this rapidly evolving field. This article presents a comprehensive review of the current state of AI innovation and distribution, which highlights the concentration of capabilities and resources in a handful of advanced economies.
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
The purpose of this document is to outline the concept that will serve as a framework for using standards and technical regulations as a means to support Ukraine and its institutions in their efforts towards green reconstruction. The structure of the document is built up of five sections: 1) The context for Ukraine’s green reconstruction; 2) Guiding Framework on Standards and Technical Regulations; 3) Catalogue of European and international standards and technical regulations; 4) Actors from private and public sectors; and 5) Future steps to implement the National Guiding Framework for the Green Reconstruction of Ukraine.
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
The implementation plan has been developed to translate the National Guiding Framework into concrete actions on how to use standards and technical regulations for the green reconstruction of Ukraine. The goal is to strengthen Ukraine’s quality infrastructure system, particularly by promoting standards and guiding technical regulations in post-war reconstruction projects.
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
Ukraine finds itself at a crossroads between rebuilding the infrastructure the way it has been done in the past or in a sustainable manner, using green standards, the most advanced practices and state-of-art technologies. This would enable the country to use the reconstruction efforts as a springboard for sustainability. Indeed, if based on sustainability principles, reconstruction can overcome a major carbon footprint, reducing potential climate impact and improving energy and resource efficiency. This document presents an impact assessment for the use of standards and technical regulations for the green reconstruction of Ukraine.
Green industrial recovery programme for Ukraine: Gender analysis
2024 | Author(s): Y. Halustian
#Virtual Exhibition #Gender and Youth #Publications
The main objective of this publication is to provide an analytical basis for the gender-transformative implementation of the UNIDO green industrial recovery programme for Ukraine 2024-2028. The document assesses and analyses gender-related differences in the industrial sector and the business sector of Ukraine regarding differential gender roles, responsibilities and representation. This includes the gendered division of labour, access to and control of resources and technologies, as well as opportunities and constraints related to women’s participation in industry and the economy.
Circular Economy for Industrial Development in Ukraine: Baseline Study
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
Ukraine, a middle-income country, is currently embroiled in a state of war, significantly disrupting its economy and causing a substantial decline in labour force participation across various sectors. The concept of a circular economy in Ukraine has gained traction, largely influenced by European frameworks like the European Green Deal. This report explores in which sectors circular economy strategies can best be leveraged in Ukraine. The Manufacturing sector, and particularly subsectors like Food and beverages, Electrical and machinery, and Metal products, is the top priority for implementing circular economy solutions. The strategies proposed for Ukraine encompass a wide range of initiatives aimed at optimising resource use, promoting renewable energy, extending product lifetimes, and repurposing waste streams.
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
This Final Report brings together the results from each of the four stages of the project ‘Exploratory Strategic Foresight for Circular Economy in Ukraine’: scoping, scenarios, visions and pathways. It presents an outline of the potential visions and opportunities for a CE-Ukraine, within the current uncertainties, with practical pathways to achieve them.
UNIDO green industrial recovery programme for Ukraine 2024-2028
2024 | Author(s): UNIDO
The green industrial recovery programme for Ukraine 2024-2028 is a strategic framework of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to support the response of the Government of Ukraine to the socioeconomic impact of the war in Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022. The programme sets out a strategic vision for a multi-stakeholder and cross-dimensional partnership to create a transformative and resilient recovery of Ukraine’s industry and foster sustainable industrial development.
