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.
KDI School of Public Policy and Management
The KDI School of Public Policy and Management (KDIS) is a graduate school established in 1997 as an affiliated institution of the Korea Development Institute (KDI), one of South Korea’s leading think tanks. Located in Sejong City, South Korea, KDIS offers graduate programs that blend theoretical knowledge and practical skills in fields such as public policy, development policy, and public management. As part of its educational and research agenda, KDIS actively engages in global policy challenges, including those related to low-carbon technological innovation in developing countries. The school’s research contributions - such as studies on green technology openness in Africa and international knowledge spillovers in energy innovation - demonstrate its role not only as an academic institution, but also as a policy research hub contributing to global sustainability efforts.
