Technology negotiations and role of the CTCN

UNEP is releasing a new COP30 Factsheet Series exploring the most critical adaptation and mitigation themes shaping today’s global climate agenda. The series equips readers with clear, accessible insights into the debates, decisions, and expected outcomes across priority themes. As the implementation arm of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism, the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) supports countries in turning ambition into action by advancing access to climate technologies, innovation, and expertise that power sustainable development. This factsheet explores how technology development and transfer feature in global climate negotiations and how international cooperation is accelerating progress toward a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
