The UNFCCC secretariat and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) are collaborating to provide tailor made technical assistance for the preparation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in developing countries.
Both organizations view this initiative as an exciting opportunity to significantly increase the potential contribution that developing countries can make to climate action by building their own clean energy futures with adequate support.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) launched its Secondment Programme by welcoming its first two participants, from the Carbon Trust and ENDA Energie, to the CTCN Secretariat in Copenhagen.
CTCN National Designated Entity of Senegal Professor Issakha Youm represented CTCN at the press conference, where the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), a Climate Technology Network member, and UN Women launched the 5 million euro gender-responsive investments facility in West Africa.

OSLO, Nov 25 (Reuters) - With projects including solar power in Mali or energy from cow manure in Ecuador, developing nations are starting to seek green technologies through a U.N. system meant as a building block for a global deal on climate change next month.
Many developing nations want guarantees that rich countries will provide more technology, along with far more finance, to help unlock a U.N. deal to slow global warming at a Nov. 30-Dec. 11 summit in Paris.
The CTCN welcomed the Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre as its 100th member of a global network comprised of technology experts from civil society, the private sector and research institutions around the world. Over the past year, Network members participated in CTCN Regional Forums, hosted CTCN technology webinars, disseminated their research and case studies via CTCN’s Knowledge Platform, and were selected by CTCN to provide technical assistance at the request of countries.
PARIS, FRANCE December 3, 2015 - Developing nations are seeking a broad variety of green technologies through the UNFCCC’s Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), launched in 2014. The CTCN provides free technical assistance and capacity building, including a newly launched online technology library, to facilitate technology transfer.
