CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY CENTRE & NETWORK PROGRESS REPORT 2019 2019
Connecting CTCNcountries to the climate technologies they need. 2 Our climate technology matchmaking services are driving INNOVATION,
supporting IMPLEMENTATION of countries’ Paris Agreement and sustainable development goals, and
CONNECTING technology needs with world-class expertise. Innovating In India, CTCN Network member Naireeta Services is sharing its Bhungroo water harvesting technology with rural farmers to protect their crops from increasingly harsh weather. By injecting excess rainwater underground during monsoon season, a secure groundwater supply is created that can be used to irrigate crops during the dry season, enabling communities to double their growing seasons. Naireeta Services works with women to form their own ownership groups to construct, install and maintain the system, which has led to women’s greater participation in village governance and land ownership. This technology and its empowering implementation model are now being used across India, Bangladesh, Ghana, and Vietnam.
2 3 Implementing In the Cook Islands, like many small island developing states, the government is working to identify the equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills needed to implement its Nationally Determined Contribution. The Office of the Prime Minister, together with the CTCN and its Consortium partner the UNEP DTU Partnership, are therefore conducting a national Technology Needs Assessment in the Cook Islands to support this effort. Based upon this process, a roadmap for prioritized technologies will guide specific technology development and transfer activities for strengthened climate resilience and low-carbon development in the 15-island nation. 5 Connecting The Governments of Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay are jointly seeking to develop their countries’ circular economies. In collaboration with the CTCN and Spanish Network member Factor Ideas Integral Services, they are identifying and connecting relevant stakeholders among government, industry, and civil society in their countries to build a plan for transforming current industrial models into more restorative ones which efficiently recover and reuse resources. By learning from similar initiatives around the world, these countries are incorporating best practices and inspiring others in their region: Six other countries in Latin American and the Caribbean have now initiated their own circular economy requests for submission to the CTCN.

On-the-ground training sessions strengthen local innovation
Knowledge is often enhanced by sharing experiences across geographic and professional perspectives, a process that can lead to new models for developing solutions. In Tanzania, the CTCN organized a one- week training programme on design thinking for technology innovation. University professors and National Designated Entities from five African nations participated and learned about design for innovation curriculums. By providing tools to address local cli- mate challenges, developing endogenous technology solutions, and strengthening links between academia and government, the training supported participating countries’ national systems of innovation and led to the creation of three viable technology prototypes.
“I found the training during the design thinking workshop extremely useful for my work at Makerere University. Our goal is to increase access to modern types of energy for the East African region. The design for technology innovation training presented me with practical approaches and templates within a comprehensive guide that can be adapted to facilitate design thinking in our context. I currently use the guide to carry out similar trainings within our research and development network. I am thankful to CTCN, INDEX and the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology for the opportunity.” Mary Suzan Abbo, Centre for Research in Energy and Energy Conservation, Makerere University, Uganda 17 Gender
Technology transfer and uptake can be scaled-up by ensuring men and women’s equal access to climate decision-making, finance, and technical skills development. In 2019, the CTCN built on its commitment to ensure delivery of gender-just climate technologies to developing countries through the CTCN Gender Policy and Action Plan, which aims to systematically integrate gender considerations throughout CTCN operations and service areas.

The intensification of extreme weather events and climate change represents major threats to the well-being of youth, especially in developing countries. At the same time, young people are at the forefront of efforts to raise awareness, promote sustainable lifestyles, and take action on developing and implementing environmentally-friendly practices. As the Centre prepares to enter a new decade, it has developed a new work programme in collaboration with the UNFCCC youth constituency, YOUNGO, to engage youth in climate technology innovation and implementation.

Countries that received 26 technical assistance Across Africa, technology innovation and implementation are being used to address key climate change goals. However, significant challenges remain in terms of supportive policy and regulatory environments, capacity building and financing. This is reflected in the CTCN technical assistance requests made by African countries over the last year, which included a focus on climate- smart agriculture policies, energy efficiency regulatory frameworks, land restoration and management, and a strong overarching demand for capacity building.

Sustainable Development Goals:
“Thanks to the CTCN and its partners, we will be able to incorporate innovative renewables and waste heat technologies in Belgrade’s district heating system. Such demonstrations are highly replicable to the other 58 Serbian cities. We hope, that the prepared feasibility study will help us to attract third-party finance.” Dr. Vladica Bozic, Head of Section for Implementation of Project, Ministry of Environmental Protection of Republic of Serbia, CTCN National Designated Entity
37 Latin
America & the Caribbean
Countries that received 38 technical assistance Over the last year, much focus in Latin America has been on enhancing policy and regulatory frameworks and strengthening capacities to access finance. However, the theme of circular economy was also predominant for the region in terms of CTCN technical assistance requests, with 10 countries submitting requests to develop roadmaps to facilitate and guide transformation from traditional, linear economies to more regenerative economic models.

41 Special Focus SmallIsland
Developing States
42 It is widely recognized that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face unique challenges due to their limited geographical area and particular exposure to rising sea levels and extreme weather events. At the same time, most SIDS are heavily dependent on imported oil and other fossil fuels to meet their energy needs, which poses economic and energy vulnerability to the islands.

46 energy currently represents only a small percentage of total energy generation in the Solomon Islands (1% as of 2016), this technical assistance can serve as a viable example of how to positively transform energy-intensive services through energy-efficient methods and renewable energy technologies.
This assistance advances the Solomon Island’s Nationally Determined Contribution to: •• Reduce its GHG emissions by 12% below 2015 levels by 2025 and 30% below 2015 level by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual projection. With international support, the Solomon Islands' NDC makes a further commitment of 27% reduction of GHG emissions by 2025 and 45% reduction by 2030 compared to busi- ness-as-usual projections.
