Speakers at the 2024 LAC NDE Forum

 

The Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN) is pleased to announce the 2024 Latin America and Caribbean NDE Forum, taking place in San José, Costa Rica on October 1-2. 

The LAC NDE Forum is organized in response to the Parties' call for tailored service of the CTCN.  The event is held in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Energy from Costa Rica (MINAE).

Celebrating a decade of CTCN

The LAC NDE Forum marks the 10th anniversary of the CTCN. This milestone event provides an opportunity to review the impact of the work to date, share good practice and lessons learned from the past decade. The Forum aims to enhance future collaboration with Nationally Determined Entities (NDEs) in alignment with regional, sub-regional, and national climate priorities.

NDE Forum highlights

The Regional NDE Fora, organized annually by CTCN, bring together NDEs, CTCN Advisory Board members, Technology Executive Committee (TEC) members, CTCN Network Members to present case studies, and other stakeholders. 

The 2024 programme includes:

  • Ongoing Technology Mechanism work under the Joint Work Programme (2023-2027);

  • Reflections on the recent joint session of the TEC and CTCN Advisory Board;

  • Overview of technical assistance provided by the CTCN in the LAC region;

  • Insights into capacity-building, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement initiatives;

  • Discussions on past and potential technical assistance project ideas for system transformation in the LAC region;

  • Exploring opportunities for South-South or North-South collaborative Research, Development, and Deployment (RD&D) and investment, benefiting both national and global climate change actions.

Some of the main takeaways include how circular economies can increase the capacity of business and industry on climate action, the importance of engaging locals, partners, and youth communities at the early stages of multi-country TA development, and the key role played by financial institutions such as the GEF, GCF, and IDB in aligning with CTCN's mandate and objectives, and collaboration between these organizations.
