Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent, and mitigating climate change and its impacts will require global commitment, enormous resources and innovative ideas and processes. Danish consulting engineers contribute to the fight against climate change when working with national and local governments to adapt to and mitigate the significant impacts of climate change, including changing weather patterns, rising sea levels and extreme weather events. We work with national and local governments to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters, to integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning, and to institutional strengthening and capacity building on climate adaptation, mitigation and impact reduction, etc.
PROJECT: CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM (CDM) PROGRAM – DANISH ENERGY AGENCY, MINISTRY OF CLIMATE AND ENERGY
The Danish Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) program in Malaysia has provided an important incentive for project owners to develop green and sustainable climate projects. Once projects were designated, DEM assisted the Danish Embassy throughout their negotiations regarding their Letter of Intent (LoI) and Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) as well as participating in monitoring on-going CDM projects generating Certi ed Emission Reductions (CERs) for Denmark. For the Danish Embassy in Malaysia, DEM provided relevant technical advice on climate change, including information on market trends, methodology, developments, etc. that would contribute to triple bottom line sustainability with relation to people, planet and profit.
