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. 

Stellenbosch University, Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies

The Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies(CRSES) at Stellenbosch University(SU), was established in 2007 as the national hub for postgraduate programmes in renewable and sustainable energy, and has a dual purpose: the training of scientists and engineers with the required technical expertise to unlock the country's renewable resources, and the implementation of appropriate technologies for the sustainable use of renewable energy.
