Overcoming Barriers to the Transfer and Diffusion of Climate Technologies

This guidebook deals with the transfer of proven technologies both between countries and within them.

"The purpose of the TNA project is to assist participant developing country Parties to identify and analyse priority technology needs, which can form the basis for a portfolio of climate technology projects and programmes to facilitate the transfer of, and access to, climate technologies and know-how through implementation of Article 4.5 of the UNFCCC Convention. Hence TNAs are central to the work of the Parties to the Convention on Technology Transfer and present an opportunity to track an evolving need for new equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills, which are necessary to mitigate GHG emissions and/or reduce the vulnerability of sectors and livelihoods to the adverse impacts of climate change"
