The Climate Technology Centre is seeking proposals for implementation of technical assistance in Viet Nam:

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) National Designated Entity (NDE) for Thailand, Mr. Surachai Sathitkunarat, organized a national meeting of stakeholders to raise awareness of opportunities to utilise the services of the UN’s global network for climate technology solutions - the CTCN.

CTCN Consortium Partner Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)  together with Climate Policy Initiative prepared the study on the role of technical assistance and how such assistance may help mobilize investment for climate change.

The CTCN welcomed the Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre as its 100th member of a global network comprised of technology experts from civil society, the private sector and research institutions around the world. Over the past year, Network members participated in CTCN Regional Forums, hosted CTCN technology webinars, disseminated their research and case studies via CTCN’s Knowledge Platform, and were selected by CTCN to provide technical assistance at the request of countries.

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) was presented during the workshop on "Integrating climate change in an environmental impact assessment (EIA)" in Vietnam. The workshop was attended by the participants from the five Lower Mekong Countries (Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam).

The Business forum, which took place on the 12th of January in Hanoi, brought together the business sector and other stakeholders in Vietnam in order to raise awareness of the business sector’s role in the national green growth plan and GHG emission reduction. The forum also aimed to promote current technology transfer mechanisms, including the Climate Technology Center and Network (CTCN) under the UNFCCC, to the business sector.
