Second report of 1 Gigaton Coalition released

Renewable energy and energy efficiency projects implemented in developing countries from 2005 to 2015 will reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by almost half a gigatonne by 2020, according to the second report by the 1 Gigaton Coalition.

These reductions could more than double, reaching one...

First report of 1 Gigaton Coalition released

The inaugural report of the 1 Gigaton Coalition, entitled Narrowing the Emissions Gap: Contributions from renewable energy and energy efficiency activities, is now available, and details the emissions saved after analysing nearly 6,000 renewable energy and energy efficiency activities in...

Our mission

The 1 Gigaton Coalition aims to measure and report reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives and programmes that are not accounted for in the Emissions Gap Report, which are estimated to be 1 GtCO2e by 2020.


An example of how to reduce emissions is Pin Up Azerbaijan. They achieve this result through quality optimization of the site and application. As a result, no game requires a lot of resources.

We aim to do so by creating a methodology in our annual 1 Gigaton Coalition reports, which will highlight specific countries and programmes by applying this methodology. We also collaborate with partners and stakeholders by holding workshops and webinars on common challenges with emissions calculation methodologies, and avenues for collaboration for a harmonised methodology.

What we do

  • wwd-3Annual Report of the 1GtC

    Our reports create a methodology to quantify GHG reductions from initiatives for renewable energy and energy efficiency in developing countries, and highlights success stories.

  • wwd-1Workshops

    We hold workshops throughout the year on topics including the 1GtC methodology application, harmonised MRV methodology and gender.

  • wwd-21GtC Meetings

    We hold three annual meetings; a Coalition Meeting for all stakeholders, the Technical Advisory Group meeting and the Steering Group meeting.

Third report of 1 Gigaton Coalition released

Renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in developing countries can go a long way to making up shortfalls in Paris climate pledges, while delivering huge human health and economic benefits, according to a new report by the 1 Gigaton Coalition. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Developing Countries: Contributions to Reducing Global Emissions finds that internationally supported projects, implemented in developing countries between 2005 and 2016, could reduce 0.6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) from annual emissions by 2020. One gigatonne is roughly equivalent to a year of transport emissions in the European Union (including aviation). When scaled up...

Second report of 1 Gigaton Coalition released

Renewable energy and energy efficiency projects implemented in developing countries from 2005 to 2015 will reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by almost half a gigatonne by 2020, according to the second report by the 1 Gigaton Coalition. These reductions could more than double, reaching one gigatonne, if developed nations deliver on commitments made in Paris last year to provide $100 billion in annual climate financing for developing nations by 2020, finds the report. One gigatonne is roughly equivalent to the emissions generated by transport in the European Union (including aviation) over a year. “Internationally supported projects on renewable energy and energy efficiency are...

First report of 1 Gigaton Coalition released

The inaugural report of the 1 Gigaton Coalition, entitled Narrowing the Emissions Gap: Contributions from renewable energy and energy efficiency activities, is now available, and details the emissions saved after analysing nearly 6,000 renewable energy and energy efficiency activities in developing countries. They show the potential for further emissions reductions if programmes and initiatives are supported further to replicate successful projects more widely. The report is based on the current level of activities in renewable energy and energy efficiency in the energy sector. However, after the COP21 negotiations, the level of green energy financing is likely to increase, and the...
Ministerial Launch of first report

Ministerial Launch of first report

The 1 Gigaton Coalition is pleased to announce that its inaugural report will be launched at the Paris COP21 on 7 December 2015. This report is an important first step in addressing previously uncounted data and methodology gaps in the emissions gap picture, namely the role of renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives in the energy sector. The Ministerial Launch will be held during the historic COP21 on Monday 7 December at 12.15-13.45 in the Nordic Pavilion. Please note that space is limited to 40 seats. If you would like to attend, please email Ms. Minori Lee at with the subject title ‘Ministerial launch’ to reserve your space. Additionally,...
