• News 4 November 2022 How to meet the needs for climate technology transfer New research from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre dives deeper into the role of development assistance (ODA) flows in climate mitigation and adaptation technologies. In a new policy brief, the research highlights the climate technology needs of developing countries, as collated through technology needs assessments, and tracks the development finance resources channeled to climate technologies, to conduct analysis and reveal shared insights. Looking at the specific bottlenecks that constrain the…
• News 1 November 2022 The Climate Technology Progress Report Effective development and transfer of climate technologies is more crucial than ever. Green technology is key to sustainable development while tackling the interlinked issues of the triple planetary crisis that humanity currently faces: climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. But, how do we assess progress on climate technology? The new Climate Technology Progress Report 2022 aims to bring more clarity on what leads to successful development and transfer of technology, and to the gaps…

• Publication 1 November 2022 Renewable energy and low carbon economy transition in India Cooperation of large developing countries such as India would be important in achieving a low carbon future, which can help in restricting the global temperature rise to 2 °C. Global modeling studies of such low carbon scenarios point to a prominent role for renewable energy. This paper reports scenarios for a low carbon future in India. An integrated modeling framework is used for assessing the alternate development pathways having equal cumulative CO2 emissions. The modeling period ranges…
• Publication 1 November 2022 The conceptual and practical challenges to technology categorisation in the preparation of technology needs assessments The strong focus in climate negotiations on the transfer and diffusion of technologies as ameans to mitigate and adapt to climate change has entailed various programs to promote the transfer and diffusion of climate technologies, including the Technology Needs Assessment project (TNA). Despite the technology focus in the project, practice shows that the questions of what a technology is and how the key concepts of technology transfer and diffusion should be understood and operationalized remain…
• Publication 1 November 2022 Assessing climate change mitigation technology interventions by international institutions Accelerating the international use of climate mitigation technologies is key if effortsto curb climate change are to succeed, especially in developing countries, where weakdomestic technological innovation systems constrain the uptake of climate change mitigationtechnologies. Several intergovernmental agencies have set up specific programmes to supportthe diffusion of climate mitigation technologies. Using a simplified technological innovationsystem-based framework, this paper aims to…
• Publication 1 November 2022 Technologies for adaptation to climate change. Examples from the agricultural and water sectors in Lebanon Increasing attention is being given to climate technologies on the international climate change agenda, not least in the agricultural sector and water sectors, and to technologies for adaptation. However investments in technology-based adaptation (seeds, dams, irrigation, etc.) are complicated by the fact that it remains difficult to predict future climate changeimpacts, especially on a local scale. In addition, evidence for the costs and benefits of implementing adaptation technologies is…
