Through the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project, UN Environment Programme (UNEP), together with UNEP DTU Partnership assist developing countries parties to the UNFCCC determine their technology priorities for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change. Despite the global recognition of the need for technology transfer, many barriers remain to be addressed.
The TNA project helps countries identify existing barriers for their prioritised sectors and technologies, and develop an action plan to overcome these barriers.
This factsheet highlights the main achievements of the TNA project since its launch in 2009 with the development of technology actions plans in over 50 developing countries and the projected creation of several million jobs.
