Success factors and policy recommendations focusing on biomass & waste to energy

The international climate change process has a dramatic effect on societies and economies of industrialized nations, but even more on developing and emerging countries. These countries play a crucial role in the implementation of the United Nations Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Companies and organisations can make a significant contribution through their technologies and knowledge, to realise sustainable projects on site.

Therefore, brainbows works with the support of ADA (Austrian Development Agency) and together with the Austrian Economic Chambers (WKO AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA) on the Post Paris Navigator (© brainbows gmbh). This Post Paris Navigator is a tool with which to identify and match relevant actors and to facilitate successful entries into new markets for companies. Another part of this project is to prepare and deliver information concerning the global climate change process, political framework conditions, and success factors of best practice projects.

The overall goal is to establish an active community for networking, to share valuable knowledge and experiences, as well as to speed up the implementation of projects. This white paper comprises ten selected projects with a focus on biomass & waste to energy that were part of the international climate conference R20 AUSTRIAN WORLD SUMMIT, which took place on May 15, 2018 in Vienna (www.austrianworldsummit.com). As an official outcome of the summit the white paper will also be integrated into the UNFCCC’s Talanoa Dialogue.
