In its 2017 Progress Report, the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) describes the key types of technology-related assistance that developing countries are seeking as they strive to fullfill their Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans.  The report also explores how the CTCN is building new bridges to financing and laying the groundwork for sustained uptake of technologies through collective action on several important fronts. 

2016 CTCN Progress Report launched. Developing country trends in climate technology transfer needs presented. The report presents an overview of CTCN services: technical assistance, capacity building and knowledge sharing. 

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) presents its Progress report (2014- August 2015), which highlights CTCN results in key services (technical assistance, access to information and scaling up international collaboration). 

Awareness of the complex and dynamic links between gender relations and climate change is growing fast in gender and development (GAD) circles and among women’s rights activists, but in mainstream policies they still tend to be overlooked. This book offers information and evidence towards a more informed, nuanced gender perspective in the context of climate change.

With the threat of increased disasters from climate change, many countries are already taking steps to reduce their vulnerability to weather and climatic hazards. This Briefing Note reports on case studies of eight countries where national and local governments and civil society have worked to strengthen their disaster risk reduction and adaptation actions.

Governments, oil companies and agribusinesses all support biofuels as a way to combat climate change. Genetic engineering plays an increasing role in biofuel production. Can replacing fossil fuels with biofuels reduce carbon emissions?Biofuels are renewable fuels produced from crops or biomass,
including crops grown specifically for converting into fuel. Political leaders
and businesses increasingly suggest biofuels as an alternative to declining
fossil fuel reserves. One attraction is that they can reduce a country’s

While the scientific capacity to forecast El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) extremes, this papers questions the extent to which these advances have benefited vulnerable communities by increasing their resilience to impeding El Niño events.

This paper offers an evaluation of how climate change will impact Peru’s water resources, with particular reference on implications at the headwater catchments in the Andean mountains and the coastal region.The paper highlights the importance of tropical glaciers, particularly sensitive to variations in climate. The author claims that the use of glacial water resource is of vital social and economic importance in Peru.

This report compiled by AIDESEP, FENAMAD, CARE (regional and national indigenous organisations) and FPP collates the experiences of indigenous peoples’ organisations with REDD+ policies and projects in Peru. The report analyses the policies and strategies of the Peruvian government, examines the roles of international agencies and scrutinises pilot REDD+ initiatives already underway in indigenous territories.

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is an important component for achieving sustainable development of cities and progress towards the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals. This manual is a disaster risk communication tool aimed at facilitating the understanding of disaster vulnerabilities and risk to megacities and large complex urban areas. It identifies, compiles and illustrates sound practices in disaster risk reduction that have been tested and implemented by different cities to aid knowledge sharing opportunities.
