The CTCN Forum was an occasion to develop and strengthen the regional network of NDEs and their relationship with other technology stakeholders, with a view to identify matchmaking opportunities to CTCN requests or other climate technology activities. Participants dioscussed the Paris Outcome in relation to Technology Transfer and Technology Mechanism, linkages between the Technology and Finance Mechanism; as well as shared experiences on set up and activities of NDEs at national level and use of CTCN Technical Assistance.
Climate experts from Africa met in Kenya to discuss collaboration and technology transfer. Representatives from government, private sector, finance and research institutions gathered in Nairobi, Kenya.
This flyer discusses the intersection between Namibia"s energy and agricultural sectors. It then proceeds to discuss funding for adaptation measures for these two sectors.
According to this article, Namibia is among the most arid countries in the world as two deserts flank it, the Namib Desert in the west and Kalahari Desert in the east. It can be said that careful water management, including direct potable reuse, is required to secure the water supply to the city. With proper process design and quality management, water meeting stringent standards can be produced by reclamation and direct potable reuse can be practised. The public will accept such schemes if properly informed, despite initial health and aesthetic concerns.
