• Publication 5 November 2025 Stories from the Technology Needs Assessments 2025
• Publication 10 December 2024 Analysis of success stories from implemented Technology Action Plans (TAPs) Over time and through an iterative process, collective learnings and practical insights from the global- and country- level work on TNAs have informed and enriched the TNA methodology, including through growing guidance3 available to countries and implementation actors. Today, the TNA process has evolved into a step-by-step process that goes beyond technology needs and is geared towards enabling technology implementation and demonstrating technology viability, with a view to closing the gap…
• News 6 September 2024 New phase of Technology Needs Assessments starts As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities, ecosystems, and economies globally, the role of technology in mitigating and adapting to these impacts is more crucial than ever. Responding to this need, the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project is advancing into its fifth phase, supporting 17 countries in identifying and deploying climate technologies tailored to their specific requirements. The start of the new phase of the TNA project comes at a crucial time, with countries…
• Project 1 May 2024 Net Zero Strategies for Developing Countries Alongside Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), long-term strategies (LTS)—net zero strategies (NZS) form the backbone of the Paris Agreement and pave the ground for low-emission development pathways around the globe. The successful delivery of NDC and LTS-NZS targets requires their integration into the national planning and strategic decision-making processes happening at the national and sub-national levels. Many developing countries need more technical capacities to develop&nbsp…
• Project 1 May 2024 Transition of Cities Towards Net Zero Transport in Developing Countries The Paris Agreement establishes a mechanism to fight climate change by contributing to the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2019, GHG emissions from Transport accounted for about 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, of which 70% are from road transport. Thus, urban transport is vital for mitigating GHG emissions within road transport. Even more so in fast-developing Asian and African cities, where rapid urbanization has resulted in a very high demand for motorized…
• News 15 July 2023 New round of technology needs assessments announced As our planet continuous to show the catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, endangering lives, communities and entire ecosystems, countries are looking to technology to not only limit the future rise in temperatures, but also adapt to the new reality of climate change facing the globe. But what kind of technologies best fit a country’s specific situation? Through a new phase of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project, 17 countries will assess and analyze their needs, and develop…
