Please join us at the UNEP/GEF TNA Event at this year’s COP 16 at Cancun, Mexico. Countries from three regions will present their progress as well as their expectations and aspirations from this Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project that seeks to assist developing countries identify technologies for mitigation and adaptation, and prepare action plans with a view to acquire and diffuse the identi� ed technologies. A guidebook on Technologies for Adaptation on Coastal Zone Erosion and Flooding will also be released at the event.
On the initiative of UNFCCC and GEF, UNEP is implementing a new round of TNAs with objectives that go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly. The TNAs will lead to the development of a national Technology Action Plan (TAP) that prioritises technologies, recommends an enabling framework for the diffusion of these technologies, and facilitates identifi cation of good technology transfer projects and their links to relevant fi nancing sources.
UNEP DTIE in collaboration with the UNEP Risø Centre is providing targeted technical and methodological support to assist a total of 35 to 45 countries to conduct TNA projects.
