Transfer of a broad range of
adaptation and mitigation technologies are now being realised through
collaboration led by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change’s (UNFCCC) Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN).
“As we complete delivery
of technology transfer in a number of countries, a recent submission from Laos
marks the 100th country request for CTCN technical assistance. These milestones
confirm both the need for technical assistance in order to implement adaptation
and mitigation plans, but also that an international, coordinated community of
technology stakeholders is willing and capable of delivering tailored
technology expertise to countries. We hope to see continued examples of
participating countries sharing their technology experience and know-how with
others in order to broaden this impact“, says CTCN Director Jukka Uosukainen.
In Colombia, the CTCN
identified a set of criteria to prioritize economic sectors with the highest
potential to improve effective energy use. Based on prioritization of transport
and industry sectors, experts proposed new actions, policy instruments, and
transversal measures for the country to implement. These CTCN recommendations
are now being incorporated in a new national policy framework, which will
officially become law.
Chile requested
technical assistance to design a national system for monitoring climate change
impacts on biological diversity and associated ecosystem services. The
resulting system includes standards and protocols for monitoring biological and
environmental variables; climate scenarios; networks and policies for
information exchange and data management; as well as institutional and
operational architecture. The monitoring system is now an integral component of
Chile’s National Climate Change Adaptation Plan, which will be used as the
primary means to gather reliable data for informing strategies and policies for
biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change.
As part of its
technology transfer in Cote D’Ivoire, the CTCN helped to design and set-up an
environmental information system with a focus on climate change. The system
will monitor and evaluate national promotion policies for energy efficiency and
renewable energy within industrial and transport sectors that are adapted to
the needs of key stakeholders.
