As the implementation arm of the Technology Mechanism, the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), in its current Programme of Work, has introduced the five system transformations – Water-Food-Energy Nexus, Building and Infrastructure, Sustainable Mobility, Energy Systems, and Business and Industry – and two enablers – National Systems of Innovation and Digitalization.
Capacity building and training
A country cannot mitigate or adapt to climate change without first strengthening skills and the knowledge to do so. The CTCN works with network members and local stakeholders to provide information, training and support to build and/or strengthen the capacity of developing countries to identify, maintain and adapt climate technology solutions. Capacity building and training can enable decision-makers to initiate change on local and national level. As part of this effort, the CTCN strives to develop analytical tools, policies and best practices for country-driven climate mitigation and adaptation. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
