The 2022-2023 CTCN Progress Report showcases how developing countries have harnessed the power of technology to forge their own path toward a sustainable future. During the reporting period, CTCN supported more than 75 countries and enhanced capacity building for climate technology development and transfer across the five systems’ transformation areas.

This report aims to highlight and raise awareness about the exposure and vulnerability of the energy sector to climate change. It identifies adaptation options available to each source of energy generation as well as for the distribution and end use of electrical energy. The report focuses on electric power generation, its transmission, and its distribution. A second publication, "Guidelines for Climate Proofing Investments in the Electric Power Sector", provides a systematic project-level approach for assessing climate risk and climate-proofing investments in the sector.

This report presents early research from a collaboration of Canadian and African researchers. It covers conflict prevention and resolution, migration, energy, health and food security. Recommendations made include calls for action at the national, regional and global levels. At the national level, increased awareness of development implications of climate and the building of climate change knowledge and capacity are recommended. Regionally, a coordinated and common African position is advocated.

According to this report, most South-East Asian countries are vulnerable to climate change risks and impacts. This report presents the specific country situations, particularly for the water, agriculture and socio-economics sectors. This is followed by a presentation of the specific gaps and needs which were identified.

This comprehensive study provides an overview of the seriousness of climate change as related to food security and farming around the world. Authors provide a set of policy and technical options for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change in multiple scenarios.
- Type:PublicationPublication date:Objective:
The main goal of the project is to assess the enabling conditions for effective community-based adaptation to the impact of extreme events at the community level. By focusing on community-based adaptation, this project aims at identifying adaptation options in a participatory manner, assessing how community-based adaptation works and clarifying under what conditions community-based adaptation can effectively be implemented.
