Networking & Collaboration
Technologies are vital to building climate-resilient, low-carbon societies. Many essential technologies already exist — the challenge is to get them deployed where they are needed, and to build the enabling environments to support technology innovation, adaptation and scale-up. An overwhelming number of developing countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement indicate a requirement for technology support and capacity building in order to achieve their commitments. To meet this need, the CTCN serves as a demand-driven and trusted partner, matching developing countriy needs for climate change-related equipment, methods, capacity development and policy advice with the world-class expertise of its Network and our collaborators.

Frankfurt School UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance
The Frankfurt School-UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance is a unique “think-and-do” tank combining research, education and project implementation, with the aim of facilitating private sector investment and financing of clean energy and climate change mitigation and adaptation projects across the globe. With a view to foster a long-term shift towards a low-carbon economy, the Centre works directly with the key actors in finance, government and industry to improve their ability to mobilize capital towards new technologies, and overcome risks and barriers that hamper progress. Jointly with its partners, the Centre is constantly elaborating and field-testing new financial instruments, products and services that serve the growing markets for energy efficiency and clean energy production.
