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.
International Center for Urban Water Hydroinformatics Research & Innovation
ICUH is an innovative research center focused on urban water management, using the most advanced technologies related to ICT, modelling systems and sensors. ICUH's work is based on academic and research institutions' collaboration through the EuroAquae consortium and the HydroAsia network. EuroAquae consortium consists of University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Technical University of Catalonia and University of Newcastle upon Tyne. HydroAsia network consists of Tropical Marine Science Institute of National University Singapore, DPRI-Kyoto University, Beijing University of Technology, Tsinghua University, Asian Institute of Technology, Incheon University and Seoul National Univsersity.
ICUH works also with a group of industrial partners associated with the center and public technical services from South Korean municipalities. ICUH promotes a multidisciplinary approach in order to develop innovation.
