1. Technology Needs Assessments UNFCCC workshop on Technology Needs Assessments Bonn, Germany 1 - 2 June 2011 Lawrence Agbemabiese, UNEP- DTIE, Paris Jyoti Prasad Painuly, UNEP Risoe Centre, Denmark (Funded by GEF under Poznan Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer)

2. Objectives To identify and prioritize through country-driven participatory processes, technologies that can contribute to mitigation and adaptation goals of the participant countries, while meeting their national sustainable development goals and priorities (TNA).  To identify barriers hindering the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of prioritized technologies.  To develop Technology Action Plans (TAP) specifying activities and enabling frameworks to overcome the barriers and facilitate the transfer, adoption, and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries.

3. National consensus on priority technologies and agreement on a national action plan, and readiness to implement the action Methodologies which complement the revised TNA Handbook and facilitate technology information available to countries. Capacity developed through workshops and guidebooks and easy access to technology information. Regional networks ensure that support to the countries available in the region for technology information, methodology, preparation of action plan, and a cooperation mechanism to share TNA experiences. Increased national and interregional cooperation on technology transfer as a mean to facilitate preparation of TNAs and implementation of TAPs. Expected Outcomes

6. Previous TNAs 2000 – onwards UNDP and UNEP Synthesis (2008) and UNFCCC Workshop, 2007  A good institutional set-up needed  Strengthening national capacity should be a key priority for future work on technology transfer activities.  Stakeholders role needs to be well defined and involvement strengthened  Conduct a barrier analysis for the selected/ prioritized technologies  Implementation of the findings needs to be supported  ….. Lessons from Previous TNAs

7. Step 1 Prioritizing technologies (TNA) Multi criteria analysis, development priorities, marginal abatement costs, local employment, etc Step 2 Barrier analysis Legal, institutional, social, knowledge Step 3 Policy options – enabling framework Legal, institutional, Finance Step 4 Technology action plan Prioritized policy options Technology Action Plan (TAP) - Steps

9. Country Support Matrix

10. Prioritized set of actions to enhance market penetration − Political process ensuring buy in by politicians Content  Elements of enabling environments considered  Responsible actors/institutions  Timetable and milestones for implementation  Resource requirements Financing needs (external, national) Specific concepts for programme funding through future technology transfer funding mechanisms can be included in the plan  TAP is not just another report! Technology Action Plan Prioritized Policy Options

11. Workshop 1 Objectives; Build capacity of country teams on: − Prioritization of technologies − Stakeholders involvement process − Tools for prioritization − Net-working; meeting with Regional Centres, Country teams, URC and other stakeholders (UNEP, GEF) Capacity Building Workshops

12. Workshop 2 Objectives; Build capacity of country teams on: − Barriers analysis and enabling framework development − Tools (market mapping) − Preparation and contents of TNA and TAP (Template given) − IPR issues- Overview with special reference to mitigation and adaptation technologies − Preliminary results on prioritization were presented by countries. Capacity Building Workshops

13. Basic institutional structures for national consensus building set up and operating in all 1 st round countries. Capacity building programme has been launched:  Regional capacity building workshops implemented in all three regions for first round countries Prioritization of sectors and technologies completed/underway in most 1 st round countries. Technology Prioritization draft reports received from six countries. Review and feedback in progress. Country consultation and MoU discussions completed in all the second round countries. MoU signed with most of the second round countries also. Technology action plans (TAPs) expected starting third quarter 2011. Status update

14. Pace of implementation has picked up in 2 nd Round countries due primarily to: − Feedback of lessons from 1 st Round experiences leading to ensure:  Better elaborated and more user-friendly documents covering pre-implementation requirements.  More focused stakeholder engagement. − Stronger government commitment. − Better efficiency of teams in the countries.
