1. TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESSMENT: EXPERIENCES FROM THAILAND
SCOPING THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ISSUES
THE PROCESS
PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS
ISSUES ON TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

2. SCOPING THE TT ISSUES: ARTICLE 4.5 ISSUES RAISED IN NAI-NC
NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE PROCESS
R&D ON CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUES
NATIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
NATIONAL COMMUNICATION

3. NAI-NC TT on V&A Access to and adequacy of methodologies and tools
Maintenance of national capacities in addressing CC
Financial and technical needs for I&M and V&A research and development
Capacity building is critical to NAI

4. THE PROCESS Identifying key areas Categorizing types
Technology
Capacity building
Categorizing types
Research vs Action
Mitigation vs Adaptation
Identifying sectors e.g. agriculture, energy, water resources
Analyzing technical options
Prioritizing the options
Detailed review of key areas i.e. technology, know-how, capacity building

5. THE PRACTICE
Summary of “technology transfer and capacity building needs”
Preliminary identification of technology needs
Brainstorming process (mainly experts)
Revisiting “technology needs identification”
Opened (training) workshop
CDM Strategy project
Further in-depth specific “know-how” need assessment

6. The National Climate Change Process
Various research and demonstration work over the past decade (ADB, USCP, EAI, EAII, National budgets, AIJ Projects)
Inventory, Mitigation, Vulnerability and Adaptation
Technology (Know-how) transfer is limited
National sustainable development policies
Energy efficiency
Renewable energy
Environmental protection
National Communications
Improvement of local emission factors
More technical development on mitigation options
Serious needs on technical development on V&A

7. ISSUES ON TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
ACTION and NEED ASSESSMENT should be in Parallel
Issues are raised in IPCC report, National Communication
Projects proposed, fund requested, but not obtained.
The potential supply sources of TT
Enabling environment, especially under Art. 4.5
Need strong supports from AI countries, especially on joint-research development
