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.
Coalition for Our Common Future
The Coalition for Our Common Future (COCF), established in 2014, is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing green growth and uniting global efforts to address climate change.
It does this by connecting and fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders across sectors and regions.
Recognizing the climate crisis as a complex agenda rather than a single field, COCF connects the scattered stakeholders of the climate agenda, including industry, technology, policy, finance, education, and international cooperation, and unites them into a green growth ecosystem.
1) Integrated Approach - From carbon neutrality to energy transition and sustainable finance, we address complex, intertwined climate issues in an integrated manner, from a comprehensive perspective rather than a fragmented one.
2) Cross-Sector Coalition - By bringing together a 'Like-minded Group' encompassing government, industry, academia, and international organizations, we will build a collaborative platform that breaks down boundaries between fields.
3) Scalable Innovation - Beyond mere discourse, we create real climate impact by applying proven climate technologies and policies to real-world settings and spreading them globally.
