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.
