1. TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESMENTS: AN UPDATE Hilary McMahon, UNDP

2.  Timing is pertinent; current technology needs being identified, mobilization of support and networks  Need to be part of development planning process to ensure implementation; requires broader scope  Need to be ‘tailored’ eg specific to sectors, regions  Need outcomes based solutions  Need to find financial incentives and funding for the ‘package’; not a piecemeal approach Key Messages

3. { TNAssess Excel-based Multi Criteria Decision Making Support Tool tp conduct a TNA TNA Handbook A TNA guidance Climate TechWiki A climate technology knowledge platform

4. Requires implementation.. And the next steps

5. Next steps, Require Partners… UNFCCC – Catalyze

6. STEP 1  Develop a Multi-Stakeholder Planning Process STEP 2  Prepare Climate Change Profiles and Vulnerability Scenarios STEP 3  Identify Strategic Options Leading to Low-Emission Climate-Resilient Development Trajectories (INCL. TNAs) STEP 4  Identify Policies and Financing Options to Implement Priority Climate Change Actions STEP 5  Prepare Low-Emission Climate-Resilient Development Roadmap An integrated approach: LECRDS Process

7.  Linkages with NCs, NAPAs, adaptation/mitigation efforts, sectoral and national development plans, MDGs – therefore a process  Require a national consultation process  A step-wise approach, part of other tools and approaches, not a stand alone  Needs external support (finance, technical expertise)  Outputs not comparable, unique national context  Mitigation focus  UNFCCC / UNDP Handbook (EN, SP, FR, CH) TNAs – Challenges and next steps

8.   Subsector classification, IPCC   Links to other tools   Simplification; guidance document   Moving beyond options; implementation   Prioritisation within the political context TNAssess – Challenges and next steps

9.  Personalizing information for the country context  Updating and open-source information; ownership and credibility  Including adaptation information  Establishing broader partnerships, e.g. private sector and developing countries ClimateTechWiki – Challenges and next steps http://ClimateTechWiki.orghttp://ClimateTechWiki.org.

10.  TNA handbook feedback  TNAssess simplification – see guidelines  Launch of ClimateTechWiki – feeback requested  CTW Webinar  Mitigation and Adaptation Technology Case Studies (CTW)  Long-term, diverse partnerships and champions  Link to LECRDS, LCDS, Energy Access Action items

11. To Consider regarding the Technology Mechanism.. Lessons regarding Technology Information provision  Absorptive capacity at the country and local level  Translation of results into actions  Including Adaptation as a priority Lessons regarding Technology development and innovation  Capturing small scale innovations (e.g. at manufacturing level) versus large scale transformation Possible Linkages  Linkages to national processes eg energy planning, access  Establishing links and consistency between tools, methodologies and training, role for the network? Donors?  Linking to private sector  Linking to financial models, opportunities and Green Fund And MRV  Measuring outcomes (GHG and non GHG specific), not inputs  Reporting at the international level; which information? For what purpose? General
