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
