Technology Needs Assessment Phase V Project

The objective of the project is to provide participating countries targeted financial and technical support to prepare new or updated TNAs, including Technology Action Plans (TAPs), for prioritized technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support adaptation and/or enhanced resilience to climate change impacts, and are consistent with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and national sustainable development objectives. The project also aims to provide practical insights and recommendations building on existing UNFCCC reporting guidelines and Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) submissions to date - to support Parties in preparing information on technology needs and support received within BTRs under the enhanced transparency framework (ETF). At the country level, the process leads to the development of: (i) a list of identified, characterized and prioritized technologies, (ii) identified barriers to implementation and how to overcome them, and (iii) technology action plans (TAPs) and concept notes for implementation of these technologies at the national level.
