Governance and planning

Good governance and planning can enable a faster and more efficient transition to low-carbon societies and countries’ improved climate mitigation and adaptation capacities. The CTCN provides technical assistance to developing countries with a view to strengthen climate planning. Approaches such as planning adaptation activities together with communities, developing Environmental Information System’s that facilitate better basis for decision-making, and identifying countries’ technology needs are useful enablers. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

The population of the Maldives (540,000) is dispersed over 188 islands that do not possess fresh surface water. The freshwater resources of the Maldives are scarce, both in temporal and spatial terms, and mainly available from groundwater aquifers that occur in the porous coral sand from rainfall.
Feasibility study of waste water to biogas potential in rural settlements with no centralised sanitation system in Uzbekistan
Type:Technical AssistanceDate of submission:Phase:DesignCountries:Objective:Sectors:Cross-sectoral enabler:Approach:Context
It is estimated that only a fraction of the one million tons of wastewater sludge is processed safely in Uzbek wastewater treatment plants. Around 93% of the wastewater generated by the densely populated Namangan province is discharged with a high risk of leakage to rivers and agricultural areas. As most areas are not connected to any wastewater treatment system, wastewater leakage threatens to contaminate the water, soil and food crops of the region.
