Enhancing Means of Implementation through
Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs)

Acknowledging the importance of technological change in reducing emissions and stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions, Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) were strongly referenced in the Paris agreement. Moreover, helping developing countries to conduct effective TNAs and implement their prioritized needs, has become instrumental to the UNFCCC implementation efforts. During this event we discuss the TNAs and their ability to provide information about the potential, ability, and scale of climate change technologies. Technology Needs Assessments can play a unique role in the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions. We will also discuss how to enhance implementation of Technology Action Plans, which countries prepare for priority technologies through the TNA process.

#Data4BetterClimateAction: How to use climate transparency to achieve effective climate action AND advance national development

Transparency is the backbone of the Paris Agreement. By having sound data and information systems in place, countries across the world are better designing, implementing and tracking their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) or long-term strategies.

This event is the official launch of the #Data4BetterClimateAction campaign, which aims to showcase how data and transparency frameworks can be used to advance climate action that is effective in addressing climate change and meeting domestic development priorities while fulfilling reporting requirements at the same time.
With speakers and real examples from the region, this 1 hour interactive event will provide participants with the inspiration, knowledge and networks needed to further build on their country’s transparency efforts and strengthen the frameworks needed for effective climate action

Using climate data and information to advance
climate action and track progress of NDCs

This event offers a platform for to share on-going efforts, lessons learned, success stories and challenges in building climate data systems in line with the Enhanced Transparency Framework under the Paris Agreement.
Discussing approaches and opportunities from different perspectives on using climate data and advancing climate transparency, the event seeks to strengthen the implementation of climate action and NDCs
The event is designed around two dynamic panel discussions in several stages, including political as well as technical aspects amongst governments and non-Party stakeholders.
Throughout the event, the audience is invited to contribute to the discussions and to share their relevant experiences.

This event is organised by ICAT, the UNFCCC secretariat and the World Bank Group
