The CTCN’s mission is “Stimulating technology cooperation and enhance the development and transfer
- f technologies to developing country Parties at their
request” The CTCN promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries. We provide technology solutions, capacity building and advice on policy, legal and regulatory frameworks tailored to the needs of individual countries.Knowledge sharing and training.
CTCN Mandate, Services and Structure
CTCN Structure
Conference of Parties (COP) and CTCN Advisory Board guide the work of the CTCN CTCN operations are conducted through:
- The CTCN Secretariat hosted by UNEP and UNIDO
- CTCN Consortium: 11 independent, regional and global organizations with
expertise in a variety of climate technology sectors
- An international network of academic, multilateral, NGO and private sector
institutions
- National Designated Entities (NDEs): national CTCN focal points selected by
each country to coordinate and submit technical assistance requests to the CTCN
158 NDEs have been selected by their countries as of 24 November 2017
National Designated Entities (NDEs)
NDEs facilitate support to their countries from the CTCN by:
- Serving as the National Focal Point on CTCN activities.
- Supporting the articulation and prioritization of requests and proposals.
- Managing the national submission process of technical assistance requests to the CTCN

NDE – Roles & Responsibilities
- Fundamental role
- Ensure that requests submitted to CTCN reflect national priorities – TNA,
LEDS, NAPAS, NAMAs
- Ensure that support provided by the CTCN is well co-ordinated at the national
level – Advisory Committee
- Ensure engagement of relevant ministries, focal points of other UNFCCC
mechanisms, private sector, civil society and academia as relevant – Advisory Committee & IGCCC http://ctc‐n.org

CTCN Technical Assistance
Provided:
- To developing countries upon their request
- Free of charge (value up to 250,000 USD)
- State of the art and locally relevant expertise
- To academic, public, NGO, or private entities
- For a broad range of adaptation and
mitigation technologies At all stages of the technology cycle:
- From identification of needs;
- policy assessments;
- selection and piloting technology solutions;
- to assistance that supports technology
customization and widespread deployment At all stages of the technology cycle:
- From identification of needs;
- policy assessments;
- selection and piloting technology solutions;
- to assistance that supports technology
customization and widespread deployment Fast and short (3 pages) application process for countries
Technical Assistance: Key for Success
- Seek targeted and tangible technical advice when expertise is not
available - Not seeking funding from the CTCN to finance expertise already available
- Not seeking assistance for activities that are already being fully
supported or that are in the process of being fully supported
- Facilitate actual development, demonstration, deployment, diffusion
- f one or several climate technologies,
- Identify specific difficulties/barriers hampering the deployment of
technologies for CTCN support to remove these barriers
- Engage technology stakeholders that have the potential to trigger concrete results
for the deployment of technologies (private sector, etc.)
- Clear plan on how and when to use to outputs produced by CTCN assistance
including specific actions that will be undertaken by the request proponents or the NDE once the assistance is delivered.
- Demonstrates the commitment and engagement of the request proponent or the
government to advance on the deployment of the concerned technology
What are REQUESTS
- Core service of CTCN is to respond to direct country requests
submitted through the NDE
- For example, these could be:
- T
echnical support and advice for the identification of technology needs;
- Advice on policies and measures for the uptake of climate change mitigation
and adaptation technologies;
- T
echnical support for preparing projects and strategies on mitigation and adaptation technologies;
- T
echnical support and advice for adapting technologies to meet local needs and circumstances;
- T
echnical support and advice for facilitating research, development and demonstration of climate friendly technologies; and
- Tailored training and capacity building.

Categories for requests
Quick Response
- Activity for which the cost is
- approx. USD 50 000
- The response can be
addressed rapidly and directly by the CTC usually through the Consortium Partners
Response Project
- Request where the cost is
between USD 50 000 and USD 250 000
- This type of request requires
a more detailed response and is normally tendered to the Climate Technology Network
