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. 

Korea Forestry Promotion Institute

Korea Forestry Promotion Institute (KoFPI) is a public sector institution formed by Korea Forest Service to promote forestry technologies and to create the global forestry value for combating climate change.  Especially, KoFPI has professional experiences on REDD+ (Reducing Emission Deforestation and Degradation) in Myanmar and Lao PDR, and has been conducting the Trial Biomass Plantation project in Indonesia. KoFPI has developed green ODA (Official Development Aids) projects and run capacity building programs for public officers in developing countries.
