• News 4 June 2024 TNA stories: Technology standards and frameworks in Ecuador In its Technology Needs Assessment, Ecuador has prioritized energy efficiency to ensure energy security and reduce energy consumption and emissions from energy production. This also aims at reducing energy costs, to benefit users and increase competitiveness. The Technology Needs Assessment identified lack of information and of capacity on energy efficiency, as well as inadequate regulations, as barriers for energy efficient technologies. As a result, the Securing Energy Efficiency in the…
• News 3 June 2024 TNA stories: Coastal zone adaptation in Cuba Havana, the capital of Cuba and the island’s biggest urban area, is located in a region frequently hit by hurricanes and cold fronts. This makes Havana highly vulnerable to climate-change impacts such as sea-level rise and extreme weather events. The city is expected to face even more severe climate-related challenges in the future. Cuba’s Technology Needs Assessment focused specifically on climate resilience in coastal zones to face and adapt to these climate-change impacts. In line with Cuba…
• News 2 June 2024 TNA stories: Rainwater harvesting in Mozambique Climate change in Mozambique threatens the country on several fronts, as heavy storms and severe droughts hit the country with increasing regularity. Due to high intensity and frequency, drought is the most devastating for the agriculture sector which employs more than 80% of the economically active population. The impacts are exacerbated by the limited availability of water for irrigation and livestock watering. In its Technology Needs Assessment, Mozambique identified conservation agriculture…
• News 1 June 2024 TNA stories: Framework for renewable energy investments in Liberia Liberia is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. 70% of the population work in the agriculture sector and with the country’s dependency on agricultural goods, the increased frequency of extreme weather events threatens the livelihoods of millions. In its Technology Needs Assessment, Liberia prioritized renewable energy technologies for both mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture sector. With the right climate technologies, the significant availability of biomass generated by…
