Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)


What is Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)?


  • The CTCN promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
  • CTCN provide technology solutions, capacity building and advice on policy, legal and regulatory frameworks tailored to the needs of individual countries. 
  • The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hosts the CTCN in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the support of a consortium of partners over 150 countries. 
  • The CTCN consists of two parts: a centre—a coordinating entity located in UN City Copenhagen—and a worldwide network of organizations that delivers CTCN services—both virtually and actually.
  • Serving as the core of the CTCN, network members respond to climate technology requests from developing country Parties to the UNFCCC.

Main Aim of the CTCN

  • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and climate vulnerability
  • Improved local innovation capacities
  • Increased investments in climate technology projects.

How CTCN Works?
The Climate Technology Centre & Network facilitates the transfer of technologies through three core services :


  • Providing technical assistance at the request  of developing countries to accelerate the transfer of  climate technologies;
  • Creating access to information and knowledge on climate technologies.
  • Fostering collaboration among climate technology stakeholders via the Centre’s network of regional and sectoral experts from academia, the private sector, and public and research institutions.
