supporting the implementation of technology action plans

This UNFCCC side event will highlight success stories with the implementation of technology action plans (TAPs), prepared by developing countries as part of their technology needs assessments (TNAs) of relevance, to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement (PA). Countries will present their experiences and lessons learned when implementing their TAPs and TNA results. The TNA results may include national strategies, policies, programmes, technology inclusive adaptation and mitigation projects, or linking the TNA results with Nationally Determined Contributions, or other processes under the Convention, such as National Adaptation Plans. 

At the side event:

• Based on the PA text, possible roles of TNAs and TAPs in supporting implementation of PA will be discussed,
  
• The latest development of, and lessons learned from the TNA process, under the global GEF-UNEP TNA project will be presented,
  
• Role of the TNAs in the NDCs will be shown,
  
• Concrete examples of implementation of TAPs under the global TNA project will be provided.
