CTCN ORIGINS

2

COP 15 (Copenhagen): agreement to establish a “Technology Mechanism”

COP 16 (Cancun): Technology Mechanism further elaborated (TEC and CTCN) and TEC established

COP 17 (Durban): establishment of CTCN; COP to provide guidance to the CTCN through an Advisory Board; selection procedure agreed for hosting of CTCN

COP 18 (Doha): formal selection of UNEP-led consortium as host

CTCN MISSION

“To stimulate technology cooperation and enhance the development and transfer of technologies to developing country parties

at their request.”

CTCN FUNCTIONS

Main functions:• Manage requests from developing countries NDE 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

Supported by outreach and awareness activities and a good knowledge management system

CTCN CONSORTIUM

5

Breadth and depth of expertise and experience in:

• adaptation and mitigation, along all steps of the technology cycle

• specific technology subject areas• geographic understanding and language capabilities• expertise in knowledge management• network development and management

CONSORTIUM EXPERTISE

CTCN INSTITUTIONAL SETUPCore Centre co-managed by UNEP and UNIDO, backed by “technical resource pool” of consortium partners

Main support provided through the Network

7

• Focal point for CTCN activities at the national levelo Ensuring requests are based on national

circumstances and prioritieso Coordinating with relevant ministries, focal points for

other UNFCCC mechanisms, and the private sector, civil society, and academia to ensure CTCN services provide the best value to the country

• Nominations requested by UNFCCC Secretariat• Some countries seeking guidance in selecting their NDE• Consultations and training activities for NDEs are

plannedGood NDEs are essential for a well functioning CTCN!

ROLES OF THE NETWORK

“The members of the Network will undertake the substantive work to address requests made to the Climate Technology Centre by developing country

Parties”

Criteria for the Network to be determined by the CTCN Advisory Board

CTCN DELIVERY APPROACH

11

• Submission of request by NDE• Logging and initial screening (Core Centre Staff)• Refining of request and preparation of response plan by NDE and

CTC expert team• Review and approval of request (Director)

Submission and Response

Plan

• Delivery of initial quick response assistance from expert team (where appropriate)

• Tendering of project to Network and selection of Network member for delivery of services

• Network implementation of agreed support

Response

• CTC progress reviews and oversight• Summary report on results and impacts• Analysis and sharing of experience through peer forums and

knowledge management• Reporting outcomes publicly and to the Advisory Board

Reporting and Evaluation

CTCN REQUESTS

12

• The ideal request to the CTCN:o Will help create conditions for improved climate

technology transfer service deliveryo Benefits from political commitment and is consistent

with national sustainable development strategies (NDPs, PRSPs, LEDS, NAPAs…)

o Is linked to national investment plans and will unlock public or private sector investment

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

13

A comprehensive library of information on technology

availability, costs, and performance; policies; and

financing

Captures experiences and results of technology cooperation activities

Collects, analyzes, and communicates CTCN results

and lessons learned and gathers external feedback

from CTCN stakeholders and partners

Facilitates on-line training, peer-to-peer exchange, and provision of expert advice

KMS

• Capacity building• Technical support and advice for the identification of

technology needs• Technical assistance for implementing environmentally sound

technologies• Technology cooperation• Catalyzing private and public investment• Disseminating best practices on technology transfer
