How CTCN TA works – the process

Interested parties in

developing countries

contact their national

focal point (National

Designated Entity

(NDE)) to request

climate technology

assistance.

The NDE confirms

the alignment of the

request with its

national climate

priorities and passes

it along to the CTCN.

The CTCN collaborates

with the NDE and

applicants to develop a

tailored technology

transfer plan.

The Climate Technology

Centre selects a

Consortium or Network

member to implement

the technology solution.

How CTCN TA works – the sectors

Regional portfolio in Asia at a glance (as of May 2020)

• Number of countries served- 24 (including Annex I & non-Annex I Parties).

• Number of requests received for TA- 57

< Distribution of TA requests by objective > < Distribution of TA requests by sector >

• New countries served: Cambodia and Timor-Leste

• Number of requests received and prioritized- 10

• Requests on Low-emission transportation, energy efficiency, urban resilience and

vulnerability assessment emerged as priorities for programmatic approach

• Lower number of requests received on Climate Change Adaptation technologies

• Private sector engagement strengthened:

• Engaged private sector through a Deep-dive workshop on clean energy with ADB (ACEF)

• Climate technology matchmaking on energy between NDEs and Private Sectors

• Training of agro-food SMEs through technology clinics in Thailand and Myanmar (under

preparation)

• Share of Pro-Bono and GCF readiness supported TAs increased in the portfolio
