This Technology Transfer Advances Mali's
- Nationally Determined Contribution to give "Priority to develop a smart and resilient agriculture, including through the use of renewable energies".
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK November 4, 2016 – Press release
2016 CTCN Progress Report launched. Developing country trends in climate technology transfer needs presented.
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).
CTCN is assisting Mali to identify climate adaptation technologies with rural communities.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is seeking a member of the CTCN Network to provide technical services in order to mainstream gender for a climate resilient energy system in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The request for this technical assistance was submitted by 13 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
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.
The purpose of this institutional analysis of the Agence de l’Environnement et du Institutional Analysis of l’Agence de l’Environnement et du Développement Durable (AEDD) and l’Agence Nationale de la Météorologie (Mali-Météo), carried out in close collaboration with USAID/Mali, is to identify the capacity and needs of these two institutions and to provide specific recommendations to strengthen these two agency’s responses to climate change. The ARCC Mali Institutional Assessment of the AEDD and Mali-Météo was structured around a field visit to Mali from January 11-24, 2014.
This is a USAID climate vulnerability mapping study of Mali, including climate scenario projections for future regional, and overall, climate vulnerability.
