The CTCN is a UN body that leverages global climate technology expertise to catalyze climate action in emerging markets and connect developing countries to the best technology solutions through a global network of experts. It provides up to $250,000 in funding per project through a competitive bidding process, with all bidders requiring a national partner. Interested parties submit requests to their national focal point, who confirms alignment with national priorities and passes it to the CTCN to develop a tailored technology transfer plan, with implementation carried out by a selected Consortium or Network member.

How it works – the process
Interested parties in
developing countries
contact their national
focal point (National
Designated Entity
(NDE)) to request
climate technology
assistance.
The NDE confirms
the alignment of the
request with its
national climate
priorities and passes
it along to the CTCN.
The CTCN collaborates
with the NDE and
applicants to develop a
tailored technology
transfer plan.
The Climate Technology
Centre selects a
Consortium or Network
member to implement
the technology solution.
