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.
Low Emission Development Strategies Global Partnership
The Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) Global Partnership (GP) was founded to enhance coordination, information exchange, and cooperation among countries and international programs working to advance low-emission, climate-resilient development. Global topical working groups (Finance, Subnational Integration of LEDS, Benefits Assessment and Communications, Energy, Transport and AFOLU measures) provide technical support for activities that respond to regional priorities. The LEDS GP also offers government agencies and technical institutes working closely with governments no-cost remote expert assistance on LEDS planning, subnational integration of LEDS, benefits analysis, financing, energy, waste, AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use) and transport measures.
