Technology in Paris Agreement

Technology in Paris Agreement

• Parties share a long term vision on importance of fully realizing technology

development and transfer in order to improve resilience to climate change, and to reduce GHG emissions.

• Establishment of technology framework to provide guidance to the work of

technology mechanism in promoting and facilitating enhanced action on technology development and transfer in order to support the implementation of the PA.

• Parties to the UNFCCC shall strengthen cooperative action on technology

development and transfer.

• The Technology Mechanism established under the Convention shall serve PA.

Technology in Paris Agreement

To operationalize Paris Agreement, the COP in its Decision 1/CP.21, (para. 67) requested the SBSTA to initiate elaboration of the Technology Framework which should:

• Facilitate undertaking and updating TNAs, and implement their

results via bankable projects,

• Provide enhanced finance and technical support,
• Assess technologies that are ready for transfer,
• Enhance enabling environments for, and address barriers to,

development and transfer of environmentally and socially sound technologies.

Technology in Paris Agreement

Key themes of the Technology Framework:

• Innovation
• Implementation (TNAs)
• Enabling environments and capacity building
• Collaboration and stakeholder engagement
• Support

Technology in Paris Agreement

Implementation:

• Actions and activities under this key theme should also facilitate the

implementation of mitigation and adaptation action identified using planning tools and processes such as:

• nationally determined contributions,
• long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies,
• technology needs assessments,
• national adaptation plans,
• technology road maps and
• ther relevant policies,

and facilitate overcoming challenges by implementing such action.

Technology in Paris Agreement

Implementation: TNA discussed workstreams:

• Facilitating the undertaking and updating of TNAs, as well as enhancing the

implementation of their results, particularly technology action plans and project ideas, and capacity building related to TNAs.

• Promoting the alignment of TNAs with NDCs and NAPs in order to increase

coherence between the implementation of those national plans with national strategies to achieve climate-resilient and low-emission development.

• Reviewing the TNA guidelines and updating them as necessary with a view to TNAs

leading to plans and implementation that are aligned with the transformational changes envisioned in the Paris Agreement.

implementation process,

• Provides overview of good practices of TNA implementation,
• Delivers examples of ways to enhance implementation of TNAs,
• Offers recommendations on actions for enhancing the

implementation of TNA results on various levels: domestic, regional, international, financial, private sector, others.

TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Content of a new TEC Policy Brief

• Lack of domestic capacities to facilitate

implementation,

• Limited access to funding sources in many developing

countries,

• Lack of involvement of funding institutions in the early

stages of the preparation of project proposals,

• Implementation-oriented approaches are not

sufficiently considered,

• Late engagement of funders with TNA teams,
• Mismatch between TNA identified priority needs and

priorities of donors.

TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Gaps and challenges

Mauritius

• In Mauritius, the TAP for waste heat recovery for energy efficient

boilers was used for preparing a proposal to the GEF, addressing energy efficiency in industries. Mauritius also acquired funding from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to implement parts

• f their TAP.

Success factors:

• Establishing the successful collaboration between the staff of

Mauritius’ FAREI and IAEA. Personal contacts and trust.

TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Good practices of TNA implementation

Senegal

• In Senegal, uptake of biomass-based technologies for electricity

production, as prioritized in the TNA has been accelerated through public-private collaboration. The government provided a feed-in tariff scheme for renewable energy technology use while a private company was responsible for technology implementation. Success factors:

• The way that responsibilities were shared between public and

private sectors stakeholders, as suggested by the TAP guidance.

TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Good practices of TNA implementation

• The engagement of stakeholders and ministries during the TNA and post-

TNA phase in order to include TNA-prioritised technologies in new or

• ngoing governmental programmes,
• Co-development of TNAs and TAPs with NAMAs, NDCs, GEF, GCF and

AF pipelines helps to mainstream TNA outcomes in overarching national strategies and programmes for climate and sust. dev.,

• Development of pilot projects to demonstrate technology options, with

financial support from multilateral funding programmes and development partners, and technical support and advice from CTCN,

• Engage possible funders for the TAP activities in an early stage of the

TNA-TAP process, which can inform country stakeholders about what funders will fund and avoid mismatches between countries’ and funders’ priorities,

• Consideration of TNA prioritised technology options in proposals

submitted to the GCF and other relevant institutions,

• Role of equipped and trained champions is key for projects success, to

continue work beyond TNA project timelines. TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Ways to enhance implementation of TNAs

Domestic (capacity building, enabling environment)

• Further promotion of TNA results domestically with a view to enhance

their implementation,

• Experts from relevant bodies, such as Ministries of Finance, and

Energy/Economy, NDEs, NDAs and others could be introduced to domestic TNA results as an opportunity to leverage their implementation potential,

• Governments have a major role to play in creating the enabling

environments for technology transfer through strengthening of legal and regulatory frameworks,

• An effective enabling environment for technology development and

transfer is often characterized by sound coordination and communication among government departments and agencies, with the goal of streamlining and easing the way for technology investment,

• Tracking of implementation of TNA results is not only included as a

final step of the TAP development, but also as an issue to be discussed upon the start of the TNA process. TEC Policy Brief on TNA experiences, lessons learned and good practices

Recommendations

• Leadership and well-experienced coordinator is key to ease the mapping of relevant

stakeholders and to ensure proper implementation of working group sessions (especially after regional training workshop)

• TNA Coordinator should be a key actor within all related climate processes (NDE, GCF,

GEF, NAMA, etc.) and have close relationship with policymakers (ease the buy-in of TNA’results):  improve the planning of bilateral meeting with key authorities and donors during the in-country mission

• Improve actor engagement, in particular, national planning divsion, economist and bank

manager to better assess financial needs and to ease the resource mobilisation

Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Ugandan Perspective

Presented at a webinar on TNA activities in Africa 15 April 2020.

• Dr. Maxwell Otim Onapa, Director Science, Research and Innovation,

Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Uganda. TNA Coordinator

Some Background

Uganda received support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to TNA. Implementation: UN Environment through UNEP-DTU Partnership, Denmark, and Coordination: National Designated Entity (NDE) for the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN). Activities 1. Inception Workshop in August 2018. Adaptation - Prioritised Sectors:

• Agriculture,
• Forestry, and
• Water

Mitigation - Prioritised Sectors:

• Energy
• 2. Consultants Recruitment - Between March and June 2019,
• 3. Documentation of potential technologies for consideration if Uganda is to meet her mitigation

and adaptation obligations.

• 4. Identification and prioritisation of technologies for selected sectors - first of the three (3) steps
• f the TNA process.

METHODOLOGY

The Technology Needs Assessments methodology is a mature process

• useful to developing countries as they work to develop and implement their NDCs

under the Paris Agreement. The Technology Needs Assessments process is organized around three main activities: a) Identifying and prioritizing mitigation and adaptation technologies for selected sectors; b) Identifying and analysing the barriers that hinder the successful deployment and diffusion of the prioritized technologies, including its enabling framework; c) Creating, based on the inputs obtained from the previous two steps, Technology Action Plans (TAPs), i.e., medium- or long-term plans to support implementation

• f the

identified technologies. The Technology Action Plans outline activities that are further elaborated as project concept notes.

What we have done so far

A workshop on Prioritization of technologies that were identified by the consultants held June 2019, The objectives To identify and prioritize mitigation and adaptation technologies, respectively, for

• Energy sector (Mitigation) and
• Agriculture, Forestry and Water (Adaptation) sectors.

The workshop sought to identify at least adaptation and mitigation technologies (12) for future diffusion, up scaling/dissemination These are expected to support implementation of Uganda’s nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and related technology-dependent climate actions at national level. The methodology for identifying climate technologies can be used to assess other local needs under separate processes and projects beyond the TNA, in for instance, assessing technology needs in the science, technology and innovation (STI) sector.

What we have done so far Stakeholder participation

A total of 32 experts including: representatives of government departments responsible for policy and regulation; vulnerable sectors (agriculture, forestry, water, and energy), private sector, farmer organizations, technology providers and users, development partners and the media participated in the meeting.

Highlights of the workshop

Matters arising/observations

• Need to prioritise the technologies within a

defined timeframe to make them relevant to national development needs.

• identification of climate technologies for this

TNA process should also be within this context of NDPIII so that they are in tandem with national planning processes.

Key outcomes of the workshop The Sector Working Groups for

• Energy (mitigation),
• Agriculture,
• Forestry and
• Water (adaptation)

considered the long and shortlists provided by the respective Consultants and recommended and prioritised

Key outcomes 2.2.1 Energy Sector (mitigation)

Agriculture (adaptation)

Forestry (adaptation)

Water (adaptation)

Forestry (adaptation)

Both the Mitigation and Adaptation consultancy have submitted their final reports

The process of analyzing how the prioritized technologies can be implemented in the country and how implementation circumstances could be improved by addressing the barriers and developing an enabling framework based, inter- alia, on undertaking of local market and other assessments; Where we are in the TNA Process

• 1. Updates on the TNA process
• 2. Brief updates on the BAEF progress by Consultants.
• 3. Discussions
• 4. Detailed analysis in breakout sessions
• 5. Way forward.
