Mali is committed to promoting a green economy with an emphasis on climate-smart agriculture and renewable energy. Yet current methods of crop conservation often lead to significant waste in the value chain, and weaken farmers' access to markets, reducing their revenues.

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 Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) presents its Progress report (2014- August 2015), which highlights CTCN results in key services (technical assistance, access to information and scaling up international collaboration).
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), in the context of the Incubator Programme, held a training workshop and national consultations on 19-21 January in Dhaka. The meetings were organized by CTCN Consortium Partner, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in collaboration with Bangladesh Unnayan Parishad (BUP).
CTCN is assisting Mali in developing a tailored and ready-to-use Reference Guide of technologies that communities can use to best adapt their agricultural practises with regards to climate change effects. This is part of the technical assistance “Identification of climate adaptation technologies with rural communities”. The workshop, which main objective was to share the content of the Reference Guide, seek contributions for improvement and explore better ways to disseminate the Guide took place 24-25th March in Bamako.
