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. 

Wine To Water

Doc Hendley is the Founder and International President of Wine To Water. Doc first envisioned the concept of Wine To Water while bartending and playing music in nightclubs in North Carolina. With the money raised, Hendley traveled to Darfur, Sudan in 2004 and began installing water systems for victims of government-supported genocide. Doc was selected as a CNN Hero in 2009 and Wine To Water has since worked in 50 countries and reached more than 1.4 million people with clean water. Doc's work has saved thousands of lives by providing humanity's most basic need and right, clean water, and has inspired people from all walks of life.
