Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)
Description
The CTCN has three core functions: -Manage and respond to requests from developing countries -Foster collaboration and access to information and knowledge to accelerate technology transfer -Strengthen networks, partnerships and capacity building for climate technology transferCTCN servicesBased on country requests, and using the delivery approach described in the box below, the CTCN will, for example:-Support countries in the preparation of their technology projects and strategies-Assist in identifying technology needs and options that are likely to have a high impact on climate change adaptation and mitigation, given national circumstances-Advise on policies and measures for the uptake of climate technologies-Provide tailored training and capacity building programmes-Match needs to available support
