  1. INTRODUCTION The ClimateTechnology Centre and Network ManfrediCaltagirone UNEP NDE Workshop : 5-7 March 2014, Nairobi, Kenya

  2. OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSION • Introduce the CTCN • Origins and mission • Functions and structure • The crucial role of NDEs • The Climate Technology Network • CTCN Services

  3. BUT FIRST A SHORT EXERCISE… 3

  4. Please complete the following statements (you have five minutes) • “I would say that the CTCN was a success in my country if after one year it had ….” • “I would say that the CTCN was a success in my country if after three years it had …..” 4

  5. CTCN ORIGINS AND MISSION 5

  6. ORIGINS OF THE CTCN • Decisions: UN Framework Convention on Climate Change • COP 15 (Copenhagen) 2009: agreement to establish a “Technology Mechanism” • COP 16 (Cancun) 2010: Technology Mechanism further elaborated (TEC and CTCN) and Technology Executive Committee created • COP 17 (Durban) 2011: establishment of the Climate Technology Centre and Network; selection procedure for host agreed • COP 18 (Doha): formal selection of UNEP as host of the Centre 6

  7. CTCN MISSION “To stimulate technology cooperation and enhance the development and transfer of technologies to developing country parties at their request.” Parties to the UNFCCC 7

  8. CTCN FUNCTIONS AND STRUCTURE 8

  9. CTCN FUNCTIONS Main functions: • Manage requests from developing country National Designated Entities (NDEs) and deliver responses • Foster collaboration and access to information and knowledge to accelerate climate technology transfer • Strengthen networks, partnerships and capacity building for climate technology transfer • Supported by outreach and awareness activities and a robust knowledge management system 9

  10. CTCN STRUCTURE Core Centre co-managed by UNEP and UNIDO, backed by our partner institutions Main support provided through the Network 10

  11. CTCN CONSORTIUM 11

  12. CONSORTIUM EXPERTISE Breadth and depth of expertise and experience in: • Adaptation and mitigation, along all steps of the technology cycle • Specific technology subject areas • Geographic understanding and language capabilities • Expertise in knowledge management • Network development and management 12

  13. CTCN STRUCTURE – THE CTC The Climate Technology Centre 13

  14. CTCN STRUCTURE – THE CTC 14

  15. THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF NATIONAL DESIGNATED ENTITIES 15

  16. CTCN STRUCTURE – THE NDEs National Designated Entities 16

  17. NATIONAL DESIGNATED ENTITIES • Acting as the national CTCN focal point • Coordinating activities and services of the CTCN in the country • Acting as an active member of the Climate Technology Network (CTN) The success of the CTCN greatly depends on NDEs It is hoped that NDEs will mainstream climate technology issues in all national climate change-related strategies, policies, and plans and become “CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY CHAMPIONS!” 17

  18. THE CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY NETWORK 18

  19. CTCN STRUCTURE – THE CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY NETWORK 19

  20. CONSTRUCTION OF THE NETWORK All NDEs are Network members • Exact role will depend on the local context: • Coordinate other Network members of the country • Disseminate information / help in capacity building • Be actively involved in providing technical assistance • Qualified institutions encouraged to apply: • Applications assessed against criteria • Merit-base, time bound membership

  21. NETWORK ACTIVITIES Start up phase: knowledge transfer • Actively exchange information, experiences, best practices via KMS • Provide expertise in training/ capacity building activities • Participate in workshops, trainings Future: technical assistance • Responding to requests • Competitive bidding via UN procurement procedure • Highly dependent on the types of requests

  22. CTCN SERVICES 22

  23. CTCN SERVICES • Three core services: 1. Provide technical assistance to developing countries to enhance transfer of climate technologies 2. Provide and share information and knowledge on climate technologies 3. Foster collaboration and networking of stakeholders on climate technologies 23

  24. FOCUS of ctcn services • Different forms of technical assistance to developing countries • Value in range $50,000 - $250,000 • Funds not provided directly to countries • Fast and flexible delivery of support that initiates or triggers larger scale actions 24
