The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) was represented at the 4th International Climate Change Adaptation Conference “Adaptation Futures”, which was attended by 1700 participants from over 100 countries.
CTCN Climate Technology Manager Jason Spensley chaired the session on exploring the adaptation potential of technologies. The discussion featured topics such as assessing technologies for adaptation, coastal infrastructure protection using hard and soft engineering technologies (the case of Mauritius).
“The main challenge - strengthening transfer and scale-up of technologies: better link adaptation technologies with profit, jobs and votes, through private-public partnerships, impact monitoring, and global support mechanisms”, said J. Spensley.
Adaptation Futures - the biennial conference of the Global Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PROVIA).
