Networking & Collaboration
Technologies are vital to building climate-resilient, low-carbon societies. Many essential technologies already exist — the challenge is to get them deployed where they are needed, and to build the enabling environments to support technology innovation, adaptation and scale-up. An overwhelming number of developing countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement indicate a requirement for technology support and capacity building in order to achieve their commitments. To meet this need, the CTCN serves as a demand-driven and trusted partner, matching the needs of developing countries for climate change-related equipment, methods, capacity development, and policy advice with the world-class expertise of its Network and our collaborators.
Africa Policy Institute
API is an independent non-profit think tank providing policy research and analysis in security, governance and strategic issues including environment. We help governments, civil society, regional and international organizations in creating a clean, peaceful, secure and prosperous nations. Since 2007, we have acquired extensive work experience across the world where we have provided technical and advisory support in developing solutions to public policy challenges. API has 5 centers; China-Africa, The Horn, Forced Displacement, Democracy & Resilience and Environment & Natural Resources.
The Center for Environment and Natural Resources promotes public participation, collaboration, and partnerships in the implementation of policies on environment and climate change. The participation, collaboration and partnerships may be mandatory (required by a specific law or regulation) or voluntary (implemented to achieve better natural resource decisions and management). The objective of the center is to foster practical and political support for natural resource management, reduce the propensity for conflict over resource uses and reduce effects on climate change.
