The United Nations Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is an extensive network that fosters collaboration, knowledge transfer, and technical support to help developing countries combat climate change. Here's a guide on how to join this global community and enjoy its benefits.
To become a member of the CTCN, you first need to register with the CTCN portal and the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM), both of which are free of charge. The precise application procedures and requirements can be found on official UN platforms related to CTCN and UNGM. It is important to note that for organizations bidding on projects or services related to CTCN, only the main bidder is required to join the network.
The benefits of CTCN membership are numerous. Members can access tailored technical assistance in climate technology and innovation, helping developing countries address climate change challenges effectively. The network also promotes the sharing of knowledge and best practices among a diverse range of entities, including academic institutions, implementation agencies, financial institutions, and private sector actors.
In addition, CTCN provides training and capacity-building programmes to enhance the skills of climate professionals and institutions, boosting their ability to implement climate technologies and policies. As a member, you will also have access to a global community of climate technology users, providers, and financiers under the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism.
The CTCN acts as the technology arm of the UNFCCC, supporting developing countries' efforts in climate change mitigation and adaptation. As of today, there are 719 members in the CTCN network, with approximately half representing the private sector and research and academic institutions making up another significant portion.
Information exchange is facilitated within the CTCN network, including sharing data, lessons learned, reports, and case studies at CTCN events and via the CTCN's online knowledge platform. The CTCN also offers capacity building opportunities to its members and developing country stakeholders.
Online and in-person tutorials and workshops on various fields of expertise are presented by the CTCN network members to peers and developing country stakeholders. The CTCN provides technical assistance to developing countries in response to requests, funded by the CTCN, through a competitive bidding process among Network members.
The CTCN network mobilizes policy and technical expertise to deliver technology solutions, capacity building, and implementation advice to developing countries. The UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is seeking network members from all geographic regions and sectors.
