CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY CENTER & NETWORK

WHY IN NEWS?

It celebrated 10 years of its completion.

ABOUT:

CTCN is the Operational Arm of UNFCCC.

HOSTED BY: UN Environment (UNEP) in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) with the support of 11 other independent organisations having expertise in climate technologies.

PURPOSE

  • It was established to accelerate the development and transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low-carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
  • It provides technology solutions, capacity building, and advice on policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks tailored to the needs of individual countries by harnessing the expertise of a global network of technology companies and institutions.
  • It is a demand-driven mechanism as its services are offered upon request by developing countries, and the volume and specific nature of activities ultimately depends on countries’ requirements and needs.

STRUCTURE OF CTCN

It consists of two parts:

  • A centre—a coordinating entity located in UN City Copenhagen—and
  • A worldwide network of organizations that delivers CTCN services—both virtually and actually.
