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 the needs of developing countries for climate change-related equipment, methods, capacity development, and policy advice with the world-class expertise of its Network and our collaborators. 

Practical Action

Practical Action is a global development charity, building sustainable lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of poverty and climate change. Our vision is for a world that works better for everyone. In the last strategic period 2021 – 2025, 33m people were reached through systemic changes in policies and markets.
