3. CTCN Mandate, Services and Structure
The CTCN’s mission is “Stimulating technology cooperation and enhance the development and transfer of technologies to developing country Parties at their request”
Services:
Technical assistance to developing countries
Knowledge sharing and training
Fostering collaboration on climate technologies (including linking climate technology projects with financing opportunity)
Structure:
CTCN is hosted by UNEP in collaboration with UNIDO and supported by 11 partner institutions with expertise in climate technologies

4. CTCN Structure
Conference of Parties and CTCN Advisory Board guide the work of the CTCN
CTCN operations are conducted via:
The CTCN Secretariat hosted by UNEP and UNIDO
CTCN Consortium: 11 independent, regional and global organizations with expertise in a variety of climate technology sectors
An international network of academic, multilateral, NGO and private sector institutions
National Designated Entities (NDEs): national CTCN focal points selected by each country to coordinate and submit technical assistance requests to the CTCN

5. 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 5

6. National Designated Entities (NDEs)
125 NDEs have been selected by their countries as of 15 Aug 2015

7. Climate Technology Network
Through its Network, the CTCN mobilizes policy and technical expertise from academia, civil society, finance and private sectors to deliver technology solutions, capacity building and implementation advice to developing countries.

8. Overview of CTCN Services
Climate Technology Centre and Network
1. Technical Assistance
2. Information and Knowledge
3. Collaboration and Networking
Facilitate and enhance the transfer of climate technologies
Environmentally sound technologies deployed
3 core services:
Provide technical assistance to developing countries to enhance transfer of climate technologies
Provide and share information and knowledge on climate technologies
Foster collaboration and networking of various stakeholders on climate technologies
Greenhouse gas emissions reduced and resilience to climate change increased
Targets in INDCs achieved

9. What do we mean by “climate technology” ?
Climate technology is any equipment, technique, knowledge and skill needed for:
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, through sectors such as:
Agriculture Industry
Energy Transport
Forestry Waste
and adapting to climate change, via sectors such as:
Agriculture Forestry
Business Human Health
Coastal Zones/Oceans Infrastructure/Human Settlement
Disaster Reduction Terrestrial Ecosystems
Early Warning Tourism
Education Water resources
Fisheries
Technology includes “any equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills needed for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change”. IPCC Special Report on Technology Transfer (IPCC, 2000a)
Adapted from IPCC, Bert Metz, Ogunlade Davidson, Jan-Willem Martens, Sascha Van Rooijen and Laura Van Wie Mcgrory (Eds.) Cambridge University Press, UK.
Mitigation:
Energy, Forestry, Transport
Adaptation:
Water Resources, Industry, Coastal Zones/Oceans, Agriculture, Terrestrial Ecosystems, Forestry, Human Health, Waste Infrastructure/Human Settlement, Cross-sectoral, Tourism
Adaptation: Early Warning/Disaster Reduction, Businesses, Education, Agriculture/Fisheries

10. CTCN Technical Assistance
Fast and short (3 pages) application process for countries
Provided:
• To developing countries upon their request
• Free of charge (value up to 250,000 USD)
• State of the art and locally relevant expertise • To academic, public, NGO, or private entities
• For a broad range of adaptation and
mitigation technologies
At all stages of the technology cycle:
From identification of needs;
policy assessments;
selection and piloting technology solutions;
to assistance that supports technology customization and widespread deployment

CTCN Opportunities for NAMAs
Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
CTCN assistance?
Benefit from technical inputs, to identify, develop and monitor NAMAs
To increase opportunities, to access funding to implement NAMAs
 identification, prioritisation, design and implementation, 11

12. Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
CTCN Assistance for NAMA Identification
Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
You want to identify the most appropriate NAMAs to develop?
The CTCN provide you with:
Analysis of technologies barriers (e.g. supply chain, financial barriers, etc.)
Assessment of technology cost and benefits (energy impacts, benefit on employment, etc.)
Prioritization on the more appropriate technology options, based on climate and development benefits
Feasibility study on specific technologies
 identification, prioritisation, design and implementation, 12

13. Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
CTCN Assistance for NAMA Development
Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
You want to design a NAMA?
The CTCN support you in:
Developing a Technology Action Plan to
feed into NAMA implementation plans
Drafting a national strategy for a technology
Applying tools developed to design NAMAs
Developing a finance and implementation plan
Designing MRV system adapted to country institution and set-up 13

14. Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
CTCN Assistance for NAMA Implementation
Options for CTCN support on NAMA development
You want to implement a NAMA?
The CTCN can support you in:
Identifying best practices for diffusion of identified technologies
Developing standards for technologies (?)
Establishing institutional linkages for technology adaptation and testing
Training of staff and workshops
Matchmaking with private companies and investors (CTI PFAN, RDBs, GCF ?)
 identification, prioritisation, design and implementation, 14

15. CTCN Technical Assistance: How it works
Step 1: Identify the need
Academic, agricultural, business, industry, municipal/national government office, or NGO entity needs technical help on a specific topic that is aligned with official government priorities on adapting to climate change or energy efficiency
Step 2: Contact National Designated Entity (NDE)
The interested party contacts his/her National Designated Entity (NDE). The NDE is the CTCN focal point for the country and is responsible for coordinating and submitting requests for assistance. The NDE works with the applicant to prepare and submit the short request to CTCN headquarters.
Step 3: The CTCN selects an expert team
The CTCN receives the requests, determines eligibility, and assembles a group of experts to develop a plan for the assistance, in close collaboration with the applicant and the NDE. This is a collaborative process and the plan needs to be agreed among all parties.
Step 4: The expert team provides a solution
The experts work with the applicants and other stakeholders to provide a customized solution to the request. 15
