The UNFCCC Secretariat has published a study on the contribution of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to technology transfer to developing countries, which concludes that the CDM has been a key driver of technology transfer in developing countries.
This updated handbook provides hands-on guidance for identifying the most effective technology options for poverty reduction and climate change mitigation and adaptation. By drawing on decades of experience and inputs from leading experts and practitioners, it brings novel insights for carrying out needs assessments and creating actionable plans as part of national climate change strategies.
This publication is part of a series of products and activities for dissemination, developed under the Poznan Strategic Program on
Technology Transfer.
This report examines how low-carbon technologies have been introduced, adapted, deployed, and diffused in three greenhouse gas-intensive sectors in China: supercritical/ultrasupercritical (SC/USC) coal-fired power generation technology; onshore wind energy technology; and blast furnace top gas recovery turbine (TRT) technology in the steel sector.
The study on "Forests and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region" provides assessments on impacts of climate change and adaptation options, highlighting adaptation needs, forest management options and estimations of adaptation costs.
The role of intellectual property rights (IPRs) in the transfer of climate change technologies has emerged as a particularly contentious issue in the past two years.
At its eleventh session, the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA) established drafting groups on a shared vision for long-term cooperative action; enhanced action on adaptation; enhanced action on mitigation; and finance, technology and capacity-building, to undertake work on the
