Report of Asia and Pacific Regional Workshop Cebu, Philippines 17-19 January 2000

Objectives of the Workshop To generate and share information on the special situations and needs of countries in the Asia and Pacific region To advance the consultative process by discussing possible elements of a framework for meaningful and effective actions to enhance the implementation of Article 4.5 of the Convention.

Key Issues Addressed Needs, opportunities, and barriers relating to the transfer of ESTs to the region. Multilateral initiatives to enhance the transfer of ESTs to the region Ways and means to improve the transfer of ESTs and know-how under the Convention Perspectives of governments, NGOs and the private sector Possible elements of a framework for meaningful and effective actions

Moving Forward Discussions in Africa focussed on issues and concerns of the what” What are the needs?, what are the barriers?, what are the roles of the different stakeholders? Discussions in the Philippines began to address questions of the how” How can technology needs be identified?, how can barriers be addressed?, how can stakeholders participate?, how can these ideas form a framework for actions under the UNFCCC?

Technology Needs Identification and Assessment Compatible with national sustainable development priorities & local conditions Country-driven, transparent, multi-stakeholder, bottom-up process Prioritized list of ESTs: mitigation & adaptation Reporting of priority needs & actions Support and assistance of developed countries may be needed for this process

Technology Information Information targeted to stakeholders Enhance existing organizations and centres Improve information quality & comparability Develop inventories/databases/registers on: Public technologies, indigenous technologies, technology needs Case studies and demonstration projects Technology transfer projects recognized under the Convention

Barriers to Technology Transfer Exist in both developing & developed countries Institutional, technological, information, political, economic, financial Removing barriers is an important element of a framework to enhance technology transfer

Adaptation technologies Specific barriers Commercial constraints Role of governments and public sector Need for information Coastal technologies

Role of stakeholders Governments Private sector and non-governmental organisations Inter-governmental organisations

Capacity building Scope of activities includes: Needs assessments, prioritization, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation “Soft technologies” such as: Experiences, knowledge, skills, & know-how Enhance existing capacities and technologies Utilize demonstration or pilot projects Enhance capacity in developed countries Particularly in the private sector

Possible elements of a framework Issues and concerns regarding a framework Suggestions of possible actions of Annex II Parties Suggested joint activities and partnerships Suggested intergovernmental activities

Conclusions Barriers identified in Africa workshop and reaffirmed at the Asia-Pacific workshop Asia-Pacific workshop addressed “how” these issues may be addressed Outputs should form basis for action to implement Article 4.5 of Convention
