Despite contributing the least to global emissions, they stand at the frontline of the climate crisis.\nThe UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, comprising the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), was established to help countries overcome these barriers, such as limited technical expertise, capacity, and institutional readiness, by facilitating access to transformative technologies, strengthening enabling environments, and driving innovation that links policy with practice. Thus, both the TEC and the CTCN support SIDS and LDCs in building climate resilience and transitioning to low-emission development pathways.\nThe TEC, as the policy arm of the Mechanism, develops strategic guidance and policy recommendations to accelerate climate technology development and transfer. Its work places particular emphasis on the needs of developing countries, including SIDS and LDCs, by identifying emerging opportunities and addressing systemic barriers. Recent examples include the work of the TEC on:\n\nOpportunities, challenges and risk of using artificial intelligence for climate change adaptation and mitigation action in developing countries with a focus on LDCs and SIDS\nClimate-smart agriculture and food systems, which resulted in produced knowledge products and guidance to scale climate-resilient technologies in agriculture and food systems.\nCommunity-based early warning systems to support approaches that integrate local and scientific knowledge to improve risk preparedness and disaster response in vulnerable communities.\n\nThe CTCN, as the implementation arm of the Technology Mechanism, prioritizes requests from SIDS and LDCs, applying the same criteria across its programmes. Examples of CTCN work are:\n\nUnder the EU\u2013CTCN Partnership, flagship initiatives include the Climate Change and Security Programme, which pilots conflict-sensitive climate technologies in countries facing climate-security risks, and,\nEC-Innovative Climate Solutions Programme promotes technology transfer and national innovation systems in SIDS and LDCs, supporting capacity building, incubation, and investment readiness.\nAdaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) targets developing countries, prioritizing LDCs and SIDS and providing tailored support to advance climate adaptation solutions.\nBeyond its flagship programmes, the CTCN provides flexible, non-programmatic technical assistance to respond to country-driven requests, covering both adaptation and mitigation projects in LDCs and SIDS.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAt COP30 in Bel\u00e9m, this event will showcase how the Technology Mechanism is enabling climate solutions that are not only visionary but also actionable \u2013 connecting high-level policy insights with on-the-ground implementation.\nTogether, the stories from the Technology Mechanism will illustrate how both bodies are turning innovation into impact, bridging policy, partnerships, and technology to strengthen and accelerate low-emission, climate-resilient development.","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"10 November 2025","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"2025 SIDS Joint Programme: NDE Forum and Capacity Building on Co-creation for System Transformation","nid":"41907","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/2025-sids-joint-programme-nde-forum-and-capacity-building-co-creation-system","Address":"","Body":"\u0026nbsp;\nThe UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), together with Griffith University, will convene the inaugural Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Forum for National Designated Entities (NDEs) from 1 to 5 December 2025 in Brisbane, Australia.

For developing countries, SIDS, and LDCs, the urgency to transform these sectors is most apparent in their vulnerabilities to climate risks such as extreme heat, flooding, and resource scarcity. Addressing these challenges requires a dual focus on mitigation\u2014reducing operational and embodied carbon\u2014and adaptation\u2014enhancing resilience to climate extremes.Given the growing recognition of the importance of accelerating climate action in the Buildings and construction sector, the topic has received increased attention at COPs over the last two years. At COP28, the\u0026nbsp;Buildings Breakthrough was launched, and at COP29, the\u0026nbsp;Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC) was officially launched. These two initiatives aim to strengthen international collaboration and are facilitated through the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC). Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of cities and urban buildings was also the focus of the third Global Dialogue and Investment-focused Event held under the Mitigation Work Programme 27 to 29 May 2024 in Bonn.The bodies of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, in accordance with their respective functions, have taken steps to promote technologies and practices that could assist countries in achieving climate goals for the built environment. The Technology Executive Committee is working with the GlobalABC and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Climate Policy Center on two policy briefs focused on deploying proven climate technologies and leveraging building performance data to secure financing; while the CTCN is providing technical assistance to countries to support building decarbonisation and resilience.The TEC and CTCN, in line with mandate by Parties to the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement, also aim to collaborate and engage with financial actors with a view to enhance the capacity of developing countries to prepare project proposals and facilitate their access to available funding for technology deployment.ObjectiveThe event aims to bring together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and financial institutions to explore how policy interventions and data-driven insights can accelerate the financing and deployment of climate technologies in buildings. By addressing the intersection of technology, policy, data, and financing, the event will facilitate discussions on:\n\nHigh-impact, cost-effective, market-ready climate technologies for the buildings sector\nChallenges, opportunities, and good practices for leveraging building performance data to attract and secure project financing\nEnsuring people-centered and inclusive approaches in deploying technologies to achieve global climate goals while meeting the growing demands of urbanization and development.\n\nAgenda\nModerator: Pemy Gasela (TEC Member)\n12:00-12:05 | Opening remarks\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Sophie De Coninck, Director, Means of Implementation, UNFCCC\n12:05-12:10 | Keynote: Emerging economy perspective on the role of technology, finance, and capacity-building to advance building decarbonization and climate resilience\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Antonio Da Costa e Silva, Head of International Affairs, Office of the Minister of Cities, Brazil\u0026nbsp;\n12:10-12:30 | Reflections of success: Enabling environments for deployment of climate technologies in buildings\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Christoph Reinhart, Professor of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\u0026nbsp;\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Hanane Hafraoui, Programme Officer, Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), UNEP\u0026nbsp;\n12:30-12:50 | Discussion with building sector researchers, practitioners, and financial actors on climate technologies for building decarbonization and climate resilience.\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Jan Willem Van de Ven - Head of International Climate Policy and Engagement at EBRD;\u0026nbsp;\u2022\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; York Ostermeyer, CUES Foundation - co-lead of the GlobalABC Data Hub;\u0026nbsp;\u2022\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Dastan Abdyldaev, Climate Finance Center Coordinator, Programs and Projects, Cabinet Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic.\u0026nbsp;\n12:50-13:05 | Q\u0026amp;A\n13:05-13:10 | Key takeaways and closing\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Stephen Minas, Chair, CTCN Advisory Board","Organiser":"United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change","Date_and_time":"18 June 2025","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"2025 Joint Programme: NDE Forum and Capacity Building on Climate Technology and Finance in Africa","nid":"41419","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/2025-joint-programme-nde-forum-and-capacity-building-climate-technology-0","Address":"","Body":"\u0026nbsp;\nThe 2025 Joint Programme: NDE Forum and Capacity Building on Climate Technology and Finance in Africa will bring together key representatives of climate technology from across the continent to strengthen regional cooperation and share lessons learned.\u0026nbsp;\nAs part of its role under the UN Climate Convention, the CTCN has helped over 110 developing countries access and implement climate technologies.

The Paris Agreement supports these efforts by promoting climate-resilient development based on low greenhouse gas emissions without compromising food security, and encourages the transfer and dissemination of technology as essential for achieving these goals. However, uptake of climate technologies for climate action in agrifood systems is still sluggish. What are the real reasons for this?\nThe joint report prepared by FAO and UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee seeks to fill that knowledge gap by exploring how climate technologies can support the transformation needed to sustainably feed the planet and people in the years to come, while supporting equitable growth. The report illustrates how climate technologies are key to supporting agrifood system transformation and NDC implementation going forward and that capacity, finance and social inclusion are essential elements needed to ensure the transition can be achieved. The reports highlight the need for robust technology assessments to underpin climate technology identification for agrifood systems\u0027 transformation that addresses all stages of agrifood value chains, which needs to be supported by capacity building programs, targeted financing, and fed into the ongoing climate policy process.\u0026nbsp; The capacity-building strategy is to support this process; these efforts are to be tied to the technology assessments and to identify skills gaps, especially for smallholders and vulnerable segments of the population.\nThe first Global Stocktake highlights the crucial role of technology in advancing climate action under the Paris Agreement. It recognizes the Technology Mechanism\u0027s progress, especially through its 2023\u20132027 joint work programme focusing on technology development, transfer, and capacity-building. Persistent challenges in global technology adoption are identified, urging enhanced cooperation with the private sector to scale up existing technologies and foster innovation. The necessity of predictable financial support and capacity-building for developing countries is addressed. Furthermore, it proposes a new Technology Implementation Programme to strengthen technology priorities identified by developing countries.\nObjectives\nThe high-level event will convene a diverse set of ministers, local and regional leaders, financial institutions, and non-government stakeholders to agree on a suite of multilevel, Paris-aligned actions for cooperation in the UNFCCC space, focused on joint policy and finance for sustainable climate technology uptake in agrifood systems.\n\u0026nbsp;\nThe full programme and agenda may be accessed here.\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"Technology Executive Committee (TEC)","Date_and_time":"19 November 2024","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"Local Innovators, Global Change: Youth Talk","nid":"40638","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/local-innovators-global-change-youth-talk","Address":"","Body":"\u0026nbsp;\nVenue: 6th Capacity-building Hub within COP29 (Blue zone), Special Event Room \u2013 Shirvan\u0026nbsp;\nRecognizing the critical role of youth in climate action, CTCN has engaged young people as partners in its technology work, providing platforms for innovation, networking, and skill development.

With its network, the CTCN has a unique capacity to support catalytic actions for countries seeking to implement and deploy climate technology solutions, positioning itself as a strategic partner.\nRecognizing that the intensification of extreme weather events and climate change pose significant threats to the well-being of youth, particularly in developing countries, and that young people are at the forefront of raising awareness, promoting sustainable lifestyles, and implementing environmentally friendly practices, the CTCN has increasingly engaged youth in its technology work over the past decade. The goal has been to provide both technology services to young people and a platform for them to share their insights and experiences with climate change technologies.\nIn response to requests from developing countries, the CTCN has implemented specific technical assistance projects focused on youth, offering technology services as well as opportunities for networking, collaboration, and skill development training. Additionally, in 2020, the CTCN launched the first edition of its Youth Climate Innovation Labs and Academy, which provided young people with training and tools to develop solutions to various climate change challenges.\u0026nbsp;The second edition of the programme was launched in 2024.\nThis session aims to showcase these efforts by featuring perspectives from youth advocates on the importance of technology for climate action, we will also hear from winners of the CTCN\u2019s Youth Climate Innovation Programme, who will share how the incubator programme has helped them scale their climate technology ideas. Finally, a CTCN Network implementer will discuss how the CTCN incorporates youth and their needs into its climate technology projects.\n\u0026nbsp;\nAgenda\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n \n \n \n Image\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\u0026nbsp;\nWelcome and introduction (5 minutes)\u0026nbsp;\n\nHarry Federspiel, Managing Director - Programs, Seedstars\n\nOpening remarks (5 minutes)\n\nDechen Tsering, Director a.i of UNEP\u0027s Climate Change Division\n\nKeynote address (10 minutes)\n\nLubomila Jordanova, Co-founder and CEO, Plan A, Obama Leader, MIT Under 35 Innovator\n\nYouth Talks, a series of brief presentations (15 minutes)\u0026nbsp;\n\nOmer Badokhon, Co-founder \u0026amp; CEO at BioTreasure, CTCN Youth Climate Innovation Programme Alumni - Discussing the role of incubator programmes in catalyzing youth climate technology businesses, along with the opportunities he sees for youth in this field.\nAnisa Abibulloeva, The Little Earth - sharing how the organization supports women in mountain communities by helping them break isolation and transition to sustainable energy solutions.\u0026nbsp;\nKeith Wingeard, Strategic Partnerships Manager at Solar Cookers International - Presenting a CTCN technical assistance project piloting sustainable wood resources management through the promotion of solar cookers and solar energy, with a special focus on engaging youth.\n\nInteractive Q\u0026amp;A session (20 minutes)\u0026nbsp;\n\nModerator coordinating the session.\n\nClosing remarks and call to action (5 minutes)\u0026nbsp;\n\nMr. Christofer Ahlgren, CTCN Advisory Board member, European Commission\n\n\n \n \n \n File\n \n 18 Nov_COP29_CN_Local Innovators Global Change_Youth Talk.pdf\n\n \n\n \n\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"18 November 2024","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"Climate Technologies: Impact Stories from Country Support through the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism","nid":"40637","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/climate-technologies-impact-stories-country-support-through-unfccc","Address":"","Body":"\u0026nbsp;\nOrganizers: UNFCCC Technology Mechanism\n\u0026nbsp;\nVenue: UNFCCC Hub, Side Event Room 6, Blue Zone\n\u0026nbsp;\nWith our world in a state of climate emergency, the urgency of developing, transferring, and implementing climate technologies\u0026nbsp;is more critical than ever.

As underscored by the Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, Simon Stiell, new NDCs need to \u201cincorporate investment plans that give a clear signal to the world, to investors, and to donors, of how countries plan to tackle climate change.\u201d\u0026nbsp;Technology action plans (TAPs), as one of the key elements of the technology needs assessment (TNA) process under the UNFCCC, outline country-driven prioritized actions and project ideas for mitigation and adaptation technologies. TAPs can facilitate investments in nationally-endorsed technological transitions pathways that are needed to keep the goal of holding global average temperature to a maximum of 1.5\u00b0C alive. \u0026nbsp;Parties to the UNFCCC have recurrently highlighted that the TNA process should be integrated with other related processes under the Convention and Paris Agreement. Countries are increasingly using their TNAs and TAPs to inform the development and implementation of their NDCs and low-emission development strategies. These processes, if utilized effectively, are mutually reinforcing and ultimately help strengthen the cycle of ambition for climate technology action and support under the Paris Agreement.\u0026nbsp;To date, more than 100 countries have undertaken TNAs. Currently, 17 countries are about to complete their TNAs, under phase IV of the GEF-funded Global TNA Project, and another 17 country will start the development or update of their TNAs under phase V of the project in 2024.\nObjectivesThis session aims to provide an engaging space for exchange of information, experiences, and views to enhance the shared understanding of stakeholders of the value of the TNA outcomes and the role of different actors in fostering alignment and complementarity in ongoing processes and actions in support of NDCs 3.0 and TNAs. The discussions will offer practical insight on:1- Policy and strategy: How TAPs and TNAs can inform national climate targets and make\u0026nbsp;new NDCs more ambitious2- Implementation and support: How effective use of TAPs, as nationally-endorsed technology priorities and actions, can help unlock support and investment for climate technologies at scale.\nAgenda\nModerator:\u0026nbsp;Ms. Elfriede More, Head of Department, Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, Austria13:15-13:25 | Opening \u0026amp;\u0026nbsp;Scene-setting: TAPs in support of ambitious and implementable NDCs 3.0- James Grabert, Director, Mitigation Division, UNFCCC- Aysel Rzayeva, Representative of COP 29 incoming presidency,\u0026nbsp;Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan\u0026nbsp;\n13:25-13:30 | Introduction: Global state of play on TNAs and TAPs\u0026nbsp;- Sara Traerup, Head of Section Technology, Transitions and System Innovation, UNEP-CCC13:30-14:05 | Panel discussion: Advancing technology policy and implementation through TAPs and NDC 3.0- Pedro Ivo Silva, Coordinator for scientific and technological affairs, Climate Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil\u0026nbsp;- Hansol Park, Multilateral Governance Officer, GCF- Filippo Berardi, Lead of Climate Change Mitigation, GEF- Alla\u0026nbsp;Metelitsa,\u0026nbsp;Senior Advisor, Directorate of Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Industrial Development, UNIDO14:05-14:20 | Q\u0026amp;A14:20-14:30 | Closing: Reflecting on the work of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism on TNAs, TAPs and NDCs and the way forward- Thibyan Ibrahim, Chair,\u0026nbsp;TEC- Fred Onduri, Chair, CTCN Advisory Board\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"","Date_and_time":"06 June 2024","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"SB60: Innovation and Technology in Support of Risk-Informed Climate Adaptation and Early Warnings for All","nid":"40130","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/sb60-innovation-and-technology-support-risk-informed-climate-adaptation-and","Address":"","Body":"Room: \u0026nbsp;Side Event Room Berlin\nBackground\nIn the face of worsening climate impacts, the Early Warnings for All initiative (2023-2027), launched by the UN Secretary-General, aims to ensure everyone on earth is covered by multi-hazard early warning systems to further save lives, livelihoods and assets.\nUtilizing innovation and technology to improve climate information and disaster risk knowledge helps decisions and investments to cope with climate risks. Context-specific risk knowledge and climate information is a foundational starting point for formulating effective adaptation strategies, policies and action, and yet globally, disaster risk knowledge suffers from significant shortcomings, and is the least area of progress in achieving global coverage of multi-hazard-early warning systems, particularly in the LDCs and SIDS.\nThe bodies of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, in accordance with their respective functions, have taken steps to promote technologies and innovations that could assist countries in advancing risk-informed climate policies and actions, including for the implementation and scale-up of early warning systems:\u2022\u0026nbsp;The TEC has joined the Early Warnings for All initiative and is working with the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) on a policy brief focused on technology and innovation solutions for enhanced risk knowledge;\u2022\u0026nbsp;The CTCN has provided numerous technical assistance to countries across regions in identifying technology needs for improving risk knowledge and formulating risk-informed adaptation projects and programmes in vulnerable contexts.\nThe TEC and CTCN, in line with the mandate by Parties to the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement, aim to collaborate and engage with financial actors to enhance the capacity of developing countries to prepare project proposals and facilitate their access to available funding for technology development and transfer.\n\u0026nbsp;\nObjectives\nThe session aims to provide an engaging space for exchange of information and views among various actors involved in the technology implementation -particularly financial actors supporting technology solutions for improved climate information and early warning systems- to shed light on:\u0026nbsp;\n\nCurrent trends in needs and priorities of countries for technology development and transfer in support of climate information and early warning systems;\u0026nbsp;\nChallenges, opportunities, and\u0026nbsp; good practices for the deployment of such technologies;\u0026nbsp; and\nEnsuring people-centered and inclusive approaches in deploying technologies for climate information and early warnings, leaving no one behind.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\nAgenda\n13:15-13:20 | Opening remarks- UNFCCC senior official13:20-13:25 | Welcoming and scene-setting: TEC\u2019s engagement with the Early Warnings for All initiative - innovation and technology for improved risk knowledge- Thibyan Ibrahim, Chair,\u0026nbsp;TEC13:25-13:30 | Keynote: SIDS perspective on the role of technology, finance and capacity-building to advance climate info and early warning systems in building resilience\u0026nbsp;-\u0026nbsp;Anne Rasmussen,\u0026nbsp;Lead Negotiator,\u0026nbsp;The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS),\u0026nbsp;Permanent Mission of Samoa to the United Nations13:30-13:40 | Reflections and testimonials from providers of support: international cooperation and support for EWS in Maldives\u0026nbsp;-\u0026nbsp;Gaia Righini,\u0026nbsp;Research scientist, Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA)-\u0026nbsp;Loretta Hieber Girardet,\u0026nbsp;Chief Risk Knowledge, Monitoring and Capacity Development,\u0026nbsp;United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)- Rui Kotani, Disaster Risk Reduction Coordinator, Group on Earth Observations (GEO)-\u0026nbsp;Athiye Jawad,\u0026nbsp;Head of Business, MENA Civil Governments, Planet Labs13:40-14:10 | Discussion with financial actors and providers of support for climate information and early warning systems\u0026nbsp;Moderator:\u0026nbsp;Ambrosio Yobanolo del Real, TEC activity co-lead for early warning systemsDiscussants [further details to be added upon confirmation]:-\u0026nbsp;Saliha Dobardzic, Programming and Innovation Unit Lead, Adaptation Fund- Uzoamaka Nwamarah,\u0026nbsp;Adviser, Climate Change,\u0026nbsp;Economic,Youth \u0026amp; Sustainable Development Directorate,\u0026nbsp;The Commonwealth Secretariat\n\u0026nbsp;\n14:10-14:25 | Q\u0026amp;A\n14:25-14:30 | Key takeaways and closing- Fred Onduri, Chair, CTCN Advisory Board\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"","Date_and_time":"10 June 2024","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"SB60: In-session workshop on Linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism","nid":"40129","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/sb60-session-workshop-linkages-between-technology-mechanism-and-financial","Address":"","Body":"\u0026nbsp;\n\u0026nbsp;\nRoom: Santiago de Chile, WCCB\n\u0026nbsp;\nBackground\nThe Technology Mechanism, comprising the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), was established in 2010 to facilitate implementation of enhanced action on technology development and transfer to support action on mitigation and adaptation (Decision 1\/CP.16). The TEC, as the policy arm of the Technology Mechanism, hosted by UNFCCC, analyses technology policy issues and provides recommendations. The CTCN, as the implementation arm of the Technology Mechanism, hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), supports developing countries on a demand-driven basis in deploying transformative climate technologies. The Financial Mechanism was established under Article 11 of the Convention to provide financial resources on a grant or concessional basis, including for technology transfer. It functions under the guidance of, and is accountable to, the Conference of Parties (COP), which decides on its policies, programme priorities and eligibility criteria for funding (Article 11.1). Three entities, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and, since COP 28, the new fund for responding to loss and damage (1\/CP.28 and 5\/CMA.5), are entrusted with the operation of the Financial Mechanism. The Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism also serve the Paris Agreement.\nConsideration of linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism started in 2012, when COP 18 agreed to elaborate on them (Decision 1\/CP.18). The consideration, including through consultations of the TEC, the CTCN, the GCF and the GEF, continued until COP 21 (Decision 13\/CP.21), when the linkages were for the first time considered under a dedicated agenda item. COP 22 (Decision 14\/CP.22) COP 24 (Decision 14\/CP.24) provided guidance to the TEC, the CTCN, the GCF and the GEF on strengthening the linkages, as did Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) 52\u201355 and COP 28. In response to guidance and mandates from the COP, the TEC, the CTCN, the GCF and the GEF have made progress in establishing and strengthening institutional and operational linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism.\nObjectives\nThe in-session workshop will take stock of the linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism and explore ways to maintain and enhance linkages. More specifically the workshop aims to:\n\nTake stock of successful approaches, lessons learned, and gaps in cooperation and collaboration between the Technology Mechanism and Financial Mechanism;\nIdentify ways and opportunities for increasing stakeholder engagement to strengthen linkages between the Technology Mechanism and Financial Mechanism;\nIdentify ways for strengthening communication and collaboration between national focal points;\nIdentify ways for enhancing linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism to support the implementation of technology priorities of developing countries, identified through technology needs assessments (TNAs) and technical assistance provided by the CTCN.\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\nSession 1 \u2013 Opening\n\n\n\n\n10:00-10:15\n\n\n\nOpening remarks by Mr. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary, UNFCCC\nWelcome and scene-setting by Mr. Nabeel Munir, SBI Chair\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 2 \u2013 Taking stock of linkages between the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism\nSession description: During this session, the constituted bodies of the Technology Mechanism (TEC and CTCN Advisory Board) and two of the operating entities of the Financial Mechanism (GCF and GEF) will present linkages between the two mechanisms from their respective perspectives and reflect on ways to enhance those linkages.

While the transport sector is responsible for 24% of global direct CO2 emissions, from fuel combustion alone, the demand for mobility remains ever-increasing, which highlights the importance for the\u0026nbsp;NDCs under the Paris agreement\u0026nbsp;to set transport decarbonization objectives. To deeply transform our mobility systems, we need bold leadership to drive intertwined socio-technical transitions which challenges the status quo of the human behavior and interaction with our planet. \u0026nbsp;\n\nIn this context the TEC has published a technical paper on\u0026nbsp;\u2018Deep decarbonization for sustainable mobility\u2019, which includes recommendations on how to identify and analyze the development, diffusion, and impacts of advanced decarbonization technologies for road transport and mobility. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\nWith a similar purpose of catalyzing a sustainability transformation, the BMW Foundation has launched the\u0026nbsp;RISE Cities Program\u0026nbsp;to advance Responsible Leadership towards Resilient, Intelligent, Sustainable, and Equitable futures in human settlements. The Program has identified several strategic sectors with a multiplier effect on decarbonization, such as in the mobility sector, where BMW Foundation is facilitating mutual learning spaces to support the development of solutions in various local ecosystems. \u0026nbsp;\n\nInterlinked with the\u0026nbsp;2030 Agenda\u2019s target for \u2018safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport system for all\u2019, the future of mobility, certainly, is not just a technological issue, but social, economic, cultural, and environmental as well, propelled by digitalization and driven by responsible leadership international, national and city levels. \u0026nbsp;In this context, the future of mobility must be looked at from a broader perspective. For while much emphasis is placed on improving spatial mobility, through digitalization and innovative transport technologies; driving social mobility must be viewed as equally vital in transforming the transport sector. Policy makers are vital contributors in facilitating participatory processes for the co-design and implementation of resilient, intelligent, sustainable, and equitable mobility including all social groups and genders. \u0026nbsp;\n\nMobility seen as an enabler of human development is about enhancing peoples\u2019 potential and is a pre-condition for human development and growth. Thus, it should be seen as a human right. It is about access, opportunity, participation, and connectivity for all and for all abilities. It allows people to take part and advance their life in all senses regardless of background and preferences. It offers people choices and provides them with agency and the ability to act without being curtailed by constraints.\n\nIn this event, the TEC in collaboration with the BMW Foundation will bring together responsible leaders \u0026nbsp;from private and public sectors; and from international, national and city governmental levels; to reflect on our actions in promoting a mobility transition towards a model that cares for human rights, the implementation of the Agenda 2030 and of the Paris Agreement; to share different experiences and perspectives; as well as to discuss approaches to overcoming barriers and enabling environments to catalyze technological disruption, policy entrepreneurship and societal revolution. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\nObjectives\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\n1) Enhance understanding on global trends, progress, and drivers of future mobility, the co-relation between mobility and the following 4 RISE dimensions: Resilience, Intelligence, Sustainability, and Equity. \u0026nbsp;\n\n2) Show real case examples of spatial and social mobility solutions, already implemented globally, including challenges and best practices at different scales and regions (city and national levels). \u0026nbsp;\n\n3) Discuss how responsible leaders, from different sectors and governmental levels, can contribute at individual, community, and systemic level to dynamize the deployment of cutting-edge technologies, reform of regulatory frameworks and catalyze socio-cultural transformation towards climate-positive mobility systems.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\nPlease check out the detailed program and schedule of this event here\u0026nbsp;and watch the livestream here.\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"","Date_and_time":"14 November 2022","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"COP27.

The pivot to a low carbon future is a necessity for all. Many of the bigger economies in Africa have shown firm commitment towards accelerated use of modern renewable energy and are leading energy transition efforts, while some of Africa\u2019s smaller countries have also set ambitious renewable energy targets. Over 44 African countries have made updated commitments in Nationally Determined Contributions. The big question now is: how can this be done in a manner that does not compromise the continent\u2019s development aspirations?\nWith Africa\u2019s population forecast to grow to 2 billion people by 2050, two out of every five children in the world will be born on the continent. The future of these young people will depend greatly on getting the transition to greener, cleaner, abundant and sustainable energy right. It is this energy that will power Africa\u2019s industrialization and development while also creating the jobs of the future and reducing vulnerability to external shocks caused by the movement in the price of fossil fuels.\nAnd yet, despite the abundant potential sources of renewable energy the continent is blessed with, Africa\u2019s capability for production of renewables is at best, nascent. Africa has received only 2% of global renewable energy investments in the last two decades, with the vast majority of these investments flowing to a handful of countries on the continent. Coupled with that, Africa holds large deposits of the minerals that will power a global shift to renewable energy. This is why finding effective solutions to how Africa can power its development - and provide solutions for the world\u00b4s transition to clean energy - is a huge challenge - and an unprecedented opportunity in this time of multiple shocks and uncertainty.\nThis invite-only event is convened at COP27 by UNDP Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA); the African Influencers for Development (AI4Dev), UNDP\u00b4s multi-stakeholder partnerships platform, and the Africa Business Council, the African Union\u00b4s private sector advocacy platform.

Women and marginalized groups, including indigenous peoples, people living in poverty, persons with disabilities and people living in small island developing states and least developed countries, are disproportionately at risk to the impacts of climate change - including displacement. Infrastructure has great potential to play a dual role in addressing issues of climate mobility and displacement: on one hand, infrastructure can help mitigate displacement by equitably providing protective services to people living in areas of high climate risk, and on the other hand, infrastructure can be inclusively delivered to both temporary and permanent relocation areas in order to uphold decent standards of living for climate refugees.\u0026nbsp;\nHow we develop infrastructure moving forward can have a profound impact on mitigating climate change-induced displacement and building a climate-resilient and sustainable future for all. As infrastructure is currently responsible for 79% of greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for 88% of all adaptation costs, we need to ensure that infrastructure is developed through the right solutions to combat climate change. We also need to ensure that these solutions encompass more social needs, as infrastructure influences the achievement of up to 88% of Sustainable Development Goal targets focused on delivering inclusive outcomes for women and marginalized groups. As global efforts are made to adapt systems for climate action, there is a need and opportunity to simultaneously mainstream inclusive principles in infrastructure development in order to build a resilient future for all.\nAgreed upon at COP26, the Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh Work Programme on the Global Goal on Adaptation highlights the need for inclusive climate action through country-driven, gender-responsive, participatory and transparent approaches. This session will contribute to the discourse by presenting a model for inclusive infrastructure developed by UNOPS, as well as exploring how intersectional approaches and meaningful participation in infrastructure development can contribute to climate mobility and climate justice.\n\u0026nbsp;\nEvent description\nThe session will be moderated by UNOPS, with participation of speakers from UN Women, UN CTCN, BRAC, and Commonwealth Secretariat. The session will focus on the nexus of infrastructure, inclusion, and climate action, particularly in relation to achieving inclusive development outcomes and climate justice for climate refugees and displaced people. The session aims to highlight the needs of climate refugees and marginalized groups in areas of high climate risk (represented by BRAC, Commonwealth Secretariat) and how these can be addressed to achieve inclusive and climate-compatible development through the perspective of UN agencies (represented by UNOPS, UN Women, UN CTCN).

Industrialization, economic growth, urbanization, population growth and agricultural production are causing problems for water security, availability and accessibility. In the\u0026nbsp;Asia-Pacific region, nearly 2 billion people have poor and limited access to water and this number is projected to reach 5 billion by 2050. Water pollution has increased, while extreme weather events and disasters caused by climate change are worsening water security and quality situations.\nThe integrated and sustainable management of water resources, including rainwater harvesting and water pricing, and sustainable development of water infrastructure, are crucial to addressing the water crisis globally and the issues raised in the sustainable development goals. It is important to acknowledge that water management is not only a standalone goal (SDG Goal 6) but has close connections to other socio-economic, environmental and development issues. It is time to discuss and share how to reshape the water sector to meet technology and policy needs effectively, strengthen the social and environmental resilience through appropriate financial support, and identify practical actions to be taken by each stakeholder within the overall system.\nIn response to this, the UN Climate Technology Centre \u0026amp; Network (CTCN) and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) are offering a 4-day program on reshaping the water sector to enhance national capabilities of resolving the sector-specific climate crisis. Through 3 days of in-person workshops and a 1-day field trip, this program seeks to: 1) Acknowledge the current status of the water crisis; 2) Share the latest technology, policy, and finance solutions to address challenges in the sector; and 3) Support invited NDEs (20) in understanding the actual operation of one of the latest technologies. Distinguished technology experts, climate finance organizations, and policy designers in the water sector will present the latest information for NDEs to consider adapting in future CTCN technical assistance projects.\nPlease see the concept note and full itinerary here.

We are now better able to harness rapid technological changes to enhance action toward achieving climate change goals and SDGs. Digital technology is a cross-cutting tool for use in several sectors to enable decarbonization, including the renewable energy transition, transformation of food systems, and maintenance of biodiversity. Digital technologies will increasingly enable us to solve challenging problems and improve smallholder access to information. \nIn this event, we discuss and showcase digitization that enhances progress toward SDG 13 on climate action in developing countries and contributes to several SDGs, including SDG 5, 15, and 17. Technologies such as UAVs and sensor-based irrigation can bolster food security, diversify livelihoods, and reverse gender inequality. Blockchain can be applied in both climate mitigation and adaptation for climate finance mobilization, facilitation of access to data, and development of digital infrastructure for climate markets. \nThe event will first provide an overview of digitization\u2019s contribution to the SDGs and its utility as a cross-cutting tool in the fight against climate change, and highlight examples of support provided for the most vulnerable countries by the UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) portfolio of technical assistance. The event will exhibit ways in which the CTCN and its implementing partners are improving capacity for applying these technologies. A discussion is envisioned regarding the further potential for scale-up of digital technologies to enable broader transformational change.\n************************************************************************************\nModerator: Rose Mwebaza (Director, UN Climate Technology Centre and Network)\nClaire Henly, Special Assistant to the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry\nErwin Rose, United States Department of State and CTCN Advisory Board Vice Chair\nJ\u00fcrg F\u00fcssler, INFRAS, Climate Ledger Initiative (CLI)\nDenis Macharia, RCMRD,\u0026nbsp;CTCN Technical Assistance on UAVs in Eswatini\nAnouk Chamayou, Weatherforce,\u0026nbsp;CTCN Technical Assistance on agrometeorological tools in Mali\n\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"04 May 2022","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"19th CTCN Advisory Board Meeting (presentations and recordings)","nid":"37374","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/19th-ctcn-advisory-board-meeting-presentations-and-recordings","Address":"","Body":"The 19th Advisory Board meeting of the UN Climate Technology Centre \u0026amp; Network (CTCN) took place on 28-30 March 2022 bringing together members in a hybrid format of both in-person and virtual participation.\u0026nbsp;\nThe meeting was led by the Advisory Board Chair Moa Forstorp (Sweden) and Vice-Chair Omedi Moses Jura (Kenya). Following the COP26 decision on the review of the constitution of the Advisory Board of the CTCN, the Board welcomed two new government representatives and three UNFCCC constituency groups representing - the Children and Youth Constituency (YOUNGO), the Indigenous Peoples Organisation (IPO) and the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC).\nThe first day was marked by a joint Technology Executive Committee (TEC) - CTCN session, which was opened by UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa.\n\u201cJust like every part of the climate regime, we need more climate action, and we need it as rapidly as possible from all sectors of society. Developing and supporting greener and cleaner technologies is an essential component of that work. The Technology Mechanism plays a key role. We know this from past work and current demand\u201d, noted Patricia Espinosa. \nThe two bodies of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism discussed areas of ongoing collaboration including the development of a gender expert roster; and explored ways to further integrate their activities as they develop the TEC\u2019s next rolling workplan and the CTCN\u2019s next five-year progamme of work. \u0026nbsp;\nOn the second day of the Advisory Board meeting, guest speaker Dr. M.

The Danish government declared its intention to continue ongoing support of the CTCN with a new contribution of approximately $4,4 million USD.\nThe Director of the CTCN, Dr. Rose Mwebaza, presented that the CTCN witnessed exponential growth that saw requests for support more than double with 100 countries now being served for the period under review. She noted that much of the increase in requests can be attributed to alignment of the CTCN\u2019s services with a more regional focus.\nThe CTCN Director also emphasized the importance of partnerships, and presented the $10 million-dollar Adaptation Fund Small Grant Aggregator programme which the Centre, via UNEP, will jointly manage with UNDP to support innovation in climate change adaptation. The CTCN is also making plans to help mid-size cities access innovative financing for climate adaptation technologies with GEF support and has assisted more than 20 countries in the formulation of GCF Readiness proposals for submission over the last year. The Centre continues its collaboration with the UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee, Adaptation Committee, Standing Committee on Finance and other partners. For more information, please see the presentation by the CTCN Director.\n\u201cWe are meeting climate change needs in challenging times and are very grateful for all support. The CTCN undertook a risk analysis of the COVID-19 impact on the Centre\u2019s 2020 work programme, as well as its impact on the CTCN\u2019s reporting mandate to the COP. While much work is continuing to move forward, some important activities and stakeholder consultations are proving challenging\u201d, noted Dr. Mwebaza.\nThe Board also discussed CTCN budgetary matters, resource mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation. The Advisory Board expressed its gratitude to the outgoing Chair, Ms. Orly Jacob from Canada, for her dedicated leadership and selected a new Chair, Mr. Ping Zhong from China, and a Vice-Chair, Ms. Moa Forstorp of Sweden.\nThe Climate Technology Centre and Network is accountable to the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP) through the CTCN Advisory Board.

In 2018 the TEC conducted a survey and released a report featuring stakeholders\u0027 views gathered on elements and features that could be used to describe endogenous capacities and technologies. 1 This work showed the importance of having a shared understanding of the concept \u201cendogenous capacities\u201d and \u201cendogenous technologies\u201d among stakeholders, in order to effectively discuss how endogenous capacities and technologies can be developed and enhanced. \nThe TEC in 2020 will continue to work on this topic specifically to identify and analyze needs, challenges and gaps and enabling environment to promote endogenous capacities and technologies. \nSet in this context, the dialogue has the two-fold objectives: \n\n\nGather the perspectives of broader audience and technology stakeholders on the elements and features of endogenous capacities and technologies\n\n\n\n\nExchange views and discuss enabling environments, ways and measures that can facilitate countries in building these capacities\n\n\nThe dialogue will be guided by a moderator and take a format of a panel discussion and interaction with the audience.

Better informed decision-makings based on understanding about the WEF Nexus and integrated approach ensures water and food security, and sustainable agriculture and energy production.\nScience and Technology Policy Institute, Green Technology Center of Republic of Korea and UN Environment Programme conducted collaborative research on WEF Nexus approaches to address climate change challenges and to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The main aim of the research is to raise awareness on the importance of and provide policy direction on WEF Nexus among policymakers in the Asia Pacific Region; to share knowledge about approaches, methodologies, tools and practices on WEF Nexus which can be applicable to the Asia Pacific Region; and to explore ways to develop a collaborative framework, \u201cWEF Nexus Dialogue Platform\u201d. The policy report on WEF Nexus for the Asia Pacific region to be produced by the collaborative research will provide policy direction on WEF Nexus among policymakers in the Asia Pacific Region.\nThis side-event aims to share meaningful outcomes of collaborative research on WEF Nexus for the Asia and Pacific Region and explore ways to develop \u201cWEF Nexus Dialogue Platform\u201d.

To set the scene, Mr. Ovais Sarmand, Deputy Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, reminded participants of the \u2018climate emergency and the criticality of climate action\u2026to raise ambition and mobilize stakeholders to build momentum for concrete action\u2019.\nThe TEM noted that the agri-food chain accounts for almost 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions while water insecurity is projected to increase under changing climate conditions. As such, technological solutions for energy and water use in agriculture are important to meet and raise ambitions on both mitigation and adaptation. The TEM provided an opportunity to learn about some such solutions that can be replicated and scaled-up across the region.\nThe first solution, the Barsha Pump, developed by aQysta is a water pump powered by water with zero emissions, no electrical components, and low maintenance costs. The pump can be placed in rivers, streams and irrigation canals and is used for both crop and livestock production.\nThe second solution, Claro\u2019s solar irrigation via mobile trolley and mini grids, reduces reliance on diesel pumps and provides secondary benefits for rural electrification. The mobile trolley solution is based on a pay for use model paired with FINtech to deliver cost savings and open new areas to irrigation.\nThe third solution, the Kingdom of Tonga\u2019s approach to the circular economy in the agriculture sector aims to bridge the gap between renewable energy commitments (50% penetration by 2020) and what is achievable through wind and solar PV. Making use of agricultural waste to supply energy and fertilizer to farms decrease reliance on imported fuel and increasing agricultural production.\nChallenges to scaling technologies discussed during the TEM include high up-front costs, and the range of location-specific circumstances. Presenters also recalled difficulties in jumping from innovation to proof of concept and in finding the lowest cost option to meet NDC ambitions.\nInnovative financing mechanisms, pay for use models, and government subsidies can promote the uptake of technologies, while supportive government policies build enabling environments for innovation.\nMr. Sarmand encouraged participants, \u2018We need climate action from all sectors of society and from all around the world\u2026we have the tools, mechanisms, and ambitions - we just need to translate that into action.\u2019\nThe CTCN and TEC have a role to play in achieving this vision, supporting countries to leverage existing technologies and explore new innovations in climate change. As promised by Ms. Jaime Webbe, Regional Manager for Asia-Pacific, \u2018The CTCN has over 500 members around the world who stand ready to support climate technology development and transfer on the frontlines of the climate crisis.\u2019.","Organiser":"United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change","Date_and_time":"06 September 2019","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"CTCN Regional Forum for NDEs of Asian Countries","nid":"34615","Country":"Thailand","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/ctcn-regional-forum-ndes-asian-countries","Address":"","Body":"The new Technology Framework and the need for accelerated actions was the focus of the CTCN Asia Regional Forum held 2 to 3 September, 2019 in Bangkok Thailand. \u0026nbsp;As expressed by Mr. Ping Zhong, CTCN Advisory Board Member, \u2018We see fires in the Amazon and Siberia, record breaking temperatures in Western Europe and the Arctic Circle. These facts demonstrate that climate change isn\u2019t a threat, it\u2019s a reality.\u2019\nWithin this mind set of urgency, a reflection on past successes in enhancing resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions was paired with a call by NDEs to better place CTCN support within long-term technology transitions. Examples from across Asia highlighted the importance of financing and policy frameworks for technologies and shined a spotlight on good examples of engagement with industry and the successful leveraging of funds.\nFrom building energy efficiency in Thailand to enhancing flood and drought management in Myanmar participants demonstrated the breadth of scope addressed by the CTCN\u2019s Asian portoflio. However worrying trends were also noted. Requests for support from the Asia region have been dropping year after year, the long-term impact of CTCN support is seldom recorded, and awareness of the CTCN remains low. \u0026nbsp;\nTo address these trends participants called upon the CTCN to significantly scale up communications and capacity building support, especially at the national level. Participants also called for a shared vision for technology support between the CTCN and TEC on one side and the GCF and GEF on the other.\nLow-emission transport and RD\u0026amp;D were explored in depth. Both issues revealed the importance of regional and international cooperation to exchange knowledge and information and accelerate technology transfer. Multi-country and programmatic approaches were supported and enhanced action by the CTCN to support trans-boundary cooperation was requested.\nSupported by the participation of partners from the TEC, GCF and UNFCCC the Asia Regional Forum set priorities for 2020, \u2018The CTCN has operated for five years, in that time the climate crisis has penetrated political and economic narratives. I appreciate your frank reflections and look forward to partnering in the coming months to develop a regional strategy reflective of your enhanced commitments to action\u2019, concluded Jaime Webbe, Regional Manager for Asia-Pacific.\nFor more information, please contact\u0026nbsp;Ms. Jaime Webbe,\u0026nbsp;Regional Manager.\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"02 - 03 September 2019","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"CTCN Regional Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean 2019","nid":"34613","Country":"Brazil","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/ctcn-regional-forum-latin-america-and-caribbean-2019","Address":"","Body":"The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) hosted a\u0026nbsp;Regional Forum for the National Designated Entities (NDEs)\u0026nbsp;from Latin America and Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries, as part of the Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week 2019.\u0026nbsp;The Forum provided an\u0026nbsp;opportunity to the\u0026nbsp;NDEs\u0026nbsp;and Network members based in the region to interact and strengthen their relationship with representatives of key financial institutions, regional partners,\u0026nbsp;and others.\u0026nbsp;\nFor more information, please contact\u0026nbsp;Mr. Federico Villatico Campbell,\u0026nbsp;Regional Manager.\u0026nbsp;","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"19 - 20 August 2019","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"CTCN Regional Forum for Asia","nid":"34557","Country":"Thailand","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/ctcn-regional-forum-asia-2","Address":"","Body":"The CTCN hosted the first Regional Forum this year in Bangkok, Thailand, on 28-30 April 2015.

Attended by participants from 35 countries, the Board approved the report of the CTCN to COP25 and CMA2, as well as an operating plan for the CTCN for 2020 and associated budget of USD 11 million for the coming year.\nThe meeting, led by Advisory Board Chair Orly Jacob (Canada) and Vice-Chair Ping Zhong (China), was the first following the approval of the four-year Programme of Work that will guide the activities of the CTCN until 2022 and ensures alignment of its work with the Technology Executive Committee and the technology framework of the Paris Agreement.\nThe Advisory Board received an update on emerging progress on partnership with the Global Environment Facility and the Green Climate Fund, and engaged in a discussion on potential means for future collaboration to secure adequate funds for developing country needs related to climate technology. The Board also took part in a gender workshop organized by Wiebke Bender, UNFCCC Gender Team, and Karina Larsen, CTCN Gender Focal Point, on steps towards understanding unconscious gender bias and work underway through the Gender Action Plan of the UNFCCC and the Gender Strategy of the CTCN to incorporate gender considerations into the full scope of its work.\nThe expert engaged by the CTCN to update the monitoring and evaluation system for the CTCN presented an overview of work completed thus far and how the system and its detailed methodologies will support more reliable reporting to the COP and CMA, donors, and other partners. This work will also help to capture the additional activities to be undertaken jointly by the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the CTCN pursuant to guidance from COP24 and the work of a joint TEC-CTCN AB taskforce to identify additional activity areas and specific actions that can be undertaken by the Technology Mechanism in support of the Paris Agreement.\nThe Advisory Board was pleased welcome new CTCN Director Rose Mwebaza to her first meeting since assuming her duties at the beginning of August. Dr. Mwebaza provided an update on progress achieved by the CTCN so far in 2019, particularly how regional and programmatic approaches, including in partnership with the GCF, can efficiently scale-up the impact of its work. \u0026nbsp;The Director also laid out her ambitious vision for how the CTCN will build on existing approaches and foster new partnerships to further establish its role as a trusted solutions provider of practical solutions in support of the climate technology needs of developing countries and the ambition of the Paris Agreement.\nThe Advisory Board will next meet in Copenhagen from 30 March to 1 April, 2020.\n\u0026nbsp;\nMeeting Documents\n\n\nProvisional Annotated Agenda \u0026amp; Schedule\u0026nbsp;(REVISED)\n\n\n2.2 AB13 Meeting Minutes\n\n\n2.3 List of supporting documents and proposed actions\n\n\n2.4 List of CTCN Advisory Board members\n\n\n4.1 CTCN input to to GEF COP25 report\n\n\n5.1 Joint Activities Table TEC-CTCN\n\n\n8.1\u0026nbsp;CTCN Chapter Joint Annual Report.

The workshop presented a collection of pertinent technologies and practices intended at enhancing soil carbon and having strong potential for low emission development and climate resilience in several African countries.\nSoil carbon is a depleting resource globally, and particularly in Africa. Increasing carbon storage in soils is a solution to improving soil fertility and improving agricultural productivity as well as to decreasing CO2 and mitigating climate change. Agriculture is a prominent topic in country priorities related to climate change, both in adaptation and mitigation, as expressed in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In March 2017, the analysis found that, out of 162 NDCs, 104 countries intended to make emission reduction in agriculture and 127 countries list agriculture as a priority for adaptation.\nWhile several sustainable practices and technologies have been used to enhance soil carbon, there is a need to further identify the most appropriate technologies and support their wide-scale development in Africa. The workshop brought together representatives from 14 countries, including the National Designated Entities (NDEs) of the CTCN and representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture, senior soil scientists or research officials, for a total of 26 participants from Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The workshop was facilitated by technology Experts from CGIAR Centers\/other knowledgeable institutions with a high mastery of the discussion areas.\nThe workshop aimed at sharing experiences and best practices related to agriculture from around the globe and inspire country\u2019s development programs for greater integration of those technologies into their national efforts in meeting their adaptation and mitigation of climate change.\nSpecifically, the three main objectives of the workshop were as follow:\n\nExpose the NDEs and representatives from Ministries of Agriculture to the global carbon cycle, basic concepts of soil carbon sequestration and challenges in enhancing soil carbon storage;\nPresent the latest technologies having potential to enhance soil carbon stock in Africa, and provide an overview of the state of art soil carbon monitoring tools and approaches at field, farm, district\/province and national levels;\nDiscuss possible assistance needed from countries for increasing soil carbon sequestration based on their national climate priorities, especially their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).\n\nThe training covered the following topics:\n\nUnderstanding soil carbon: basic concepts of carbon sequestration, challenges in enhancing soil carbon storage\nTechnologies having potential to enhance soil carbon stock in Africa: Enhancing inorganic carbon and soil organic carbon (conservation agriculture with and without trees, agroforestry, social forestry, plantation management, potential of genomics for organic carbon sequestration, agroecological approaches - improving vegetation cover, pasture management, cross-slope barriers, mulching, green manuring, crop residues, agroforestry\/agricultural residues, organic agriculture (OA)\/ micro-dosing, area closures and reserves.\nAdvance approaches to monitoring and visualizing soil carbon stock\nTechnology adoption, scaling and impacts\nMatching soil enhancement technological potential with country NDC\n","Organiser":"World Agroforestry Centre","Date_and_time":"12 - 14 December 2018","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":""},{"Title":"Focal Point and Expert Meeting on Green Technology and Access to Sustainable Financing in the Arab Region","nid":"34236","Country":"Lebanon","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/focal-point-and-expert-meeting-green-technology-and-access-sustainable","Address":"","Body":"The Climate Technology Centre Network (CTCN) and the Economic Commission for Western Asia (ECWA) Technology Centre (ETC)\u0026nbsp;in cooperation with the National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Lebanon organized a meeting to support countries to access technical and financial opportunities in the Arab region.

While technological innovation is an important factor, there are already thousands of technologies available which have proven capacity to substantially contribute to adaptation and mitigation goals. The key challenge is getting the right technologies deployed where they are most needed. This requires supportive policy and regulatory infrastructures, as well as workforce capacity to manage and adapt them, and necessary financing. Technology transfer is therefore a multifaceted challenge which requires bringing together the right actors and technologies.\nThe side event will describe how small island states are collaborating with the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism on technology matchmaking in order to meet their climate goals and commitments.

The course will take place from 14 through 18 August 2017 as part of the Radboud Summer School programme in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The course is targeted at post-graduates, PhD students or junior professionals in public service working on the topic of climate change mitigation.\nClimate change mitigation, i.e. human intervention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or enhance sinks of greenhouse gases, is firmly on the international policy agenda since the Paris Agreement of December 2015. For meeting the Paris Agreement goals, an acceleration will be required of global development, deployment and diffusion of technologies and practices for mitigation. The summer school course will take a multidisciplinary perspective and discuss climate mitigation technologies, practices, costs and benefits as well as related policies and needed governance.\nThe course starts with an introduction on technology transfer for climate change mitigation: what are potential technology options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, what are their climate footprints, what are cost items to consider, how to enhance public acceptance, and what R\u0026amp;D activities exist (are needed) to accelerate development, deployment and diffusion of technology options?\u0026nbsp;\nAs part of the course, an interactive workshop will be organised by the UN Climate Technology Centre \u0026amp; Network (CTCN), introducing students into technology transfer practice, with a specific focus on developing countries. Based on concrete examples, students will work in small groups on case studies about how to prioritise sectors and technologies for mitigation within different country contexts. The final part of the programme contains lectures on policies and governance for technologies for mitigation, including a key note lecture by a senior policy practitioner on technology transfer from an international climate policy and negotiation perspective.\nThe deadline for application for the summer school course is June 1, 2017 with an early-bird registration open till May 9, 2017.\u0026nbsp;More information, a preliminary programme, and the registration link are available at the summerschool webpage.","Organiser":"Climate Technology Centre and Network","Date_and_time":"14 - 18 August 2017","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":"\u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/mitigation\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EMitigation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/netherlands\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ENetherlands\u003C\/a\u003E"},{"Title":"Development of bankable woody biomass projects - What it means and why it matters","nid":"26737","Country":"","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/development-bankable-woody-biomass-projects-what-it-means-and-why-it-matters","Address":"","Body":"You are invited to participate to a unique one-hour webinar to learn more about how bioenergy projects can be developed and financed. \u0026nbsp;Learn and obtain practical tools to start your project from a\u0026nbsp;panel of IRENA and industry experts.\u0026nbsp;Free registration below.\n\nYou will learn about the new Technical Concept Guidelines for Bioenergy prepared by IRENA which feature insights and recommendations to develop bankable projects for the production of solid biofuels from woody biomass.

Also, it becomes evident that a concerted approach by the different actors involved is most beneficial, particularly to reach scale and move beyond piecemeal strategies.\nThe deliberations during the side event are expected to shed light on: - Current trends in climate technology facilitation - Lessons learnt from two decades of efforts on technology transfer promotion - Possible pathways for the CTCN and other mechanisms to address current needs - Opportunities to blend technical assistance with appropriate financing\nFor more information, visit the Vienna Energy Forum website.\n\u0026nbsp;\nBackground Information\nThe Vienna Energy Forum (VEF) is a biennial, global and multi-stakeholder forum with a mandate of exploring 21st century developmental challenges from the perspective of sustainable energy and providing a platform for debate on practical solutions to these challenges. Given that the complex issues connected to sustainable energy need to be addressed in a holistic manner, the VEF brings together all sectors of society and participants from all over the world, thereby paving the way for tangible partnerships on the ground.\nThe VEF 2015 will take place from the 18 to 20 June 2015 in Vienna and its thematic focus will be \u201cSustainable Energy for Inclusive Development\u201d with emphasis on the multiple benefits of the Post-2015 Development and the Climate Agenda and on showcasing best practices and actions on the ground. Taking place in the run up to the Special Summit on Sustainable Development in New York and the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris, the VEF is thereby expected to generate concrete inputs for the anchoring of sustainable energy for inclusive development in the Post 2015 Development Agenda and for the successful conclusion of a comprehensive and effective climate agreement.\nRegister for the Vienna Energy Forum","Organiser":"United Nations Industrial Development Organization","Date_and_time":"19 June 2015","CTCN_Keyword_Matches":"\u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/buildings-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EBuildings\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/efficient-lighting-2\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEfficient lighting\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/mitigation\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EMitigation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/adaptation\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAdaptation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/water-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EWater\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/energy-efficiency-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EEnergy efficiency\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/accommodation-1\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EAccommodation\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/transport-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ETransport\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/waste-management-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003EWaste Management\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022\/ctcn-poolparty\/renewable-energy-0\u0022 hreflang=\u0022en\u0022\u003ERenewable energy\u003C\/a\u003E"},{"Title":"2015 Climate Knowledge Brokers Workshop","nid":"2008","Country":"Denmark","Path":"https:\/\/www.ctc-n.org\/whats-happening\/events\/2015-climate-knowledge-brokers-workshop","Address":"","Body":"The two-day workshop offers a dynamic mix of interactive sessions, peer-learning and peer-assistance, as well as effective networking.
