CTCN MISSION

“TO STIMULATE TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION AND ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOPING COUNTRY PARTIES AT THEIR

REQUEST.”

Parties to the UNFCCC

ORIGINS OF THE CTCN

Decisions: UN Framework Convention on Climate Change §  COP 15 (Copenhagen) 2009: agreement to establish a

“Technology Mechanism” §  COP 16 (Cancun) 2010: Technology Mechanism further

elaborated (TEC and CTCN) and Technology Executive Committee created

§  COP 17 (Durban) 2011: establishment of the Climate Technology Centre and Network; selection procedure for host agreed

§  COP 18 (Doha) 2012 : formal selection of UNEP as host of the Centre

CTCN FUNCTIONS

Main functions:

§  Manage requests from developing country sent by the National Designated Entities (NDEs) and deliver responses

§  Foster collaboration and access to information and knowledge to accelerate climate technology transfer

§  Strengthen networks, partnerships and capacity building for climate technology transfer

CTCN STRUCTURE Core Centre co-managed by UNEP and UNIDO, backed by

our partner institutions Main support provided through the Network

CTCN CONSORTIUM

Breadth and depth of expertise and experience in:

§  Adaptation and mitigation of: Agriculture, Biodiversity, Coastal zones, Energy, Fisheries, Forestry, Health systems, Industry, Transport, Waste, Water

§  Geographic understanding and language capabilities

§  Expertise in knowledge management §  Network development and management

CONSORTIUM EXPERTISE

§  Acting as the national CTCN focal point §  Coordinating activities and services of the CTCN in the

country §  Acting as an active member of the Climate Technology

Network (CTN)

The success of the CTCN greatly depends on NDEs

It is hoped that NDEs will mainstream climate technology issues in all national climate change-related strategies,

policies, and plans and become “CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY CHAMPIONS!”

NATIONAL DESIGNATED ENTITIES

NETWORK ACTIVITIES

Start up phase: knowledge transfer § Actively exchange information, experiences, best practices

via KMS § Provide expertise in training/ capacity building activities § Participate in workshops, trainings Future: technical assistance § Responding to requests § Competitive bidding via UN procurement procedure

Step1•  Country X (via the NDE) sends a request to the CTC

Step2•  CTC sends the request to the CP for interest in developing the Response

Plan

Step3•  In collaboration with the NDE, the CPs selected develop the Response Plan

Step4•  Response plan and budget validated and signed by NDE and CTC

Step5•  CTC look for implementers among the CP and the Network

Step6•  Implementation
