2. Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN) mission and mandate
Mission to stimulate technology cooperation and enhance the development and deployment of technologies in developing countries at their request

3. CTCN service areas and core sectors

4. Applying the ICAT Transformational Change Guidance
Case: Tonga Energy Efficiency Masterplan

5. Rationale and objectives
Understanding transformational change in the context of climate technology transfer
Supporting CTCN M&E processes by strengthening methodologies for assessing long-term and transformational impacts
Increasing ambition of NDC implementation by applying lessons learned in CTCN service provided to developing countries
Evaluate potential transformational change as a result of CTCN technical assistance in Tonga to develop an Energy Efficiency Masterplan
Technology Framework (Decision 15/CMA.1):
… improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the Technology Mechanism… by addressing the transformational changes envisioned in the Paris Agreement

6. Overview of process Vision for transformational change
Defining process and outcome characteristics

7. Results in short
Outcome: Extent of transformation
Major
Moderate
Minor
None
Very likely
Likely
Very unlikely
Unlikely
Process: Likelihood of transformation
Possible
Negative
Extent of transformation expected to be achieved by the TEEMP is moderate and the outcome is possibly sustained over time. The TEEMP, if implemented, is expected to result in GHG emission reduction and moderate sustainable development impacts such as job creation, energy security and reduced energy intensity on a multi-scale level.

8. Lessons learned and key takeaways
Applying the results from the ICAT assessment on CTCN operations

9. What did we learn?
Applying ICAT Transformational Change guidance provided insights for CTCN’s NDC implementation support
Transformational change in climate technology transfer requires a combination of policy interventions which are not only focused on techno-economic feasibilities
Example: in the case of Tonga, awareness raising among population and creation of economic and non-economic incentives among consumers was recommended to accelerate uptake of energy efficient vehicles and appliances
How multi-level approach and long-term perspective strenghten potential for transformational change
More focus is needed on ensuring sustained change and avoiding relapse
Avoiding pre-defined solutions: moving from incremental improvements towards systemic change

10. Next step: exploring application of results on CTCN technical assistance
Project design
Eligibility and prioritisation criteria
Outcome and process characteristics informing policy and project design
Project implementation
Analysis of barriers: addressing underlying issues
Project risk assessment: preparing for unforeseen events and changing political realities
Monitoring & evaluation
Dynamic monitoring
Choice of indicators
