The “Technology Needs Assessment for the Implementation of Climate Action Plans in Brazil (TNA_ BRAZIL)” project aims to strengthen the technical capacity of the Brazilian government through the development of a comprehensive assessment of technology needs for the implementation of climate action plans in Brazil, aimed at providing subsidies for decision making to support the GHG mitigation targets under Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the country’s strategy for the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

A TAP consists of an action plan that can address technological, training or diffusion matters, among others, and which translates into concrete actions to be implemented for the development and/or diffusion of technologies in the prioritized sectors. The actions, in turn, are divided into activities and should indicate the necessary resources for their implementation, including schedules, cost estimates and potential stakeholders to mobilize throughout the process. Furthermore, actions should be proposed to address implementation risks so that contingency measures can be adopted.
