- News 17 June 2019 The potential of TNAs By Vladimir Hecl, UNFCCC Technology needs assessments of developing countries have been undertaken for more than two decades. Their aim is to track evolving needs for new equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. The TNA process produces concrete technology needs, it maps barriers and suggests enabling environments to overcome these barriers. The TNAs also produce a series of project proposals…
- News 14 June 2019 TNA Phase II: countries moving forward with CTCN technical assistance By Jorge Rogat, UNEP DTU Partnership In September 2018, at the closure of TNA Phase II, 22 countries had successfully completed their TNA process. Many of these countries are now taking steps towards the actual implementation of some of the project ideas presented in their Technology Action Plan (TAP) reports. Some of the countries have developed comprehensive project proposal for GCF funding, while others have submitted requests for technical assistance to the CTCN for further…
- Event 12 June 2019 Linkages between Technology Needs Assessments and Nationally Determined Contributions Speakers: NDC Partnership, TEC, NDC Dialogue representatives, UNEP DTU Partnership, GCF, GEF, TNA national coordinators, Parties, other stakeholders To achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement, implementation of climate technologies is necessary on a large scale and in short time. Climate technologies are successfully operating and well proven in many countries. However, climate technologies are only moderately implemented in many developing countries. Under the Paris Agreement, Parties to…

- Event 28 May 2019 Cooling your home: How to connect residential buildings to district cooling? (Webinar) Demand for space cooling is set to rise to 30% of buildings’ electricity demand by 2050 with nearly 70% of the increase coming from the residential sector (IEA, The Future of Cooling, 2018). In both developed and developing countries, such cooling demand will bring numerous benefits to the economy and our health, but will have profound impacts on the environment and power system unless we shift from business-as-usual technologies. Governments around the world are turning to district cooling to…
