At COP 27, the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) -- the two bodies of the Technology Mechanism under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) -- are launching their first joint work programme to significantly step up their collaboration, as well as the engagement of governments, multilateral organizations and other key stakeholders through cooperative action for advancing innovation and climate technologies that are urgently required to tackle climate change.
A press conference on 15 November, 14:30-15:00, will announce the launch with remarks by UNEP's Executive Director Inger Andersen, and government officials from United States, Germany, and Kenya.
Under this new joint work programme, the Technology Mechanism will strengthen its provision of policy support and crucial technical assistance to countries as they seek to accelerate the development and transfer of climate technologies for both climate mitigation and adaptation in order to implement their national climate action plans.
The joint work programme incorporates components of the CTCN’s Third Programme of Work 2023-2027, also just launched, and the TEC's rolling work plan for 2023-2027.
