A central focus of a side event on the UNFCCC’s Technology Mechanism held 7 June in Bonn was on the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN). The CTCN promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. The CTCN is fully up and running and has attracted its first eight requests from six countries this year.

Congratulating the CTCN, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres said:

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized sub-regional forum for the climate focal points and network members from Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The event was attended by the representatives of the UNFCCC, the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, network members from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. During two days, participants discussed technology transfer, collaboration and opportunities in the region.
