• Event 26 November 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…
• Event 25 November 2019 Technology Needs Assessments linkages with Nationally Determined Contributions Both the TNAs and NDCs processes are country driven with a common aim of implementation. The mature TNA methodology, which provides a basis for many successfully implemented technology projects and programmes, could also be a solid background to build upon, when preparing and implementing the NDCs. This side event aims to enhance understanding of the synergies between the TNAs and the NDCs; to highlight countries’ experiences; and to learn about funding opportunities for countries when…
• Event 25 November 2019 TNAs and Gender During the Gender Day at COP, this event will focus on sharing country experiences and key recommendations for development and implementation of gender-responsive Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) with the aim of building the capacity of operating entities and stakeholders throughout the TNA process. The 2-hour workshop will also facilitate discussions on gender-just technology prioritization, support identification of needs, and build the capacity of stakeholders to systematically ensure…
• Event 25 November 2019 The TNA-NDC Nexus Thanks to the information the Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) provide about the potential, ability, and scale of climate change technologies, the TNAs can play a unique role in the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This event provides a platform where countries can present and discuss how they create synergies between the NDC and TNA processes in order to maximize the impacts from both processes, and concrete examples of how to go beyond planning processes,…
• News 22 November 2019 TNA solutions and impacts in Eswatini What climatic issues is Eswatini facing? Agriculture is the backbone of the economy in Eswatini, with livestock prevailing in the landlocked country of 1.3 million people. Climate change-induced dry spells and erratic rainfall patterns are affecting crop production in the country. Most farmers are dependent on rainfall for crop production and are therefore vulnerable to changes in rain patterns and reduced rainfall. Eswatini’s water and forestry sectors also face a number of challenges, with…
• News 18 November 2019 Success stories for climate technology implementation What do dams in Pakistan, energy efficient retrofitting in Armenia, hybrid cars in Tunisia and technical regulations and standards in Ecuador have in common? Besides all being cases of climate action implementation, they are also direct or indirect results of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project. Now a new publication has collected the newest success stories from the TNA project in: "From Needs to Implementation: Stories from the Technology Needs Assessments". A highly practical tool…

• Publication 15 November 2019 From Needs to Implementation: Stories from the Technology Needs Assessments (2019) Building on two previous publications, this publication provides a new set of success stories on how countries have used their TNAs and TAPs to advance the implementation of climate technologies. It provides examples from different regions and covers different sectors. The stories highlight how TNAs are used by developing countries as a highly practical tool that provides an effective and solid foundation upon which they can both scale up and implement action on climate technologies in their…
