Thematic dialogue on research, development and demonstration of environmentally sound technologies

During the 6^th meeting of the Technology Executive Committee, a thematic dialogue on RD&D of environmentally sound technologies was held on 27 June 2013 (14.00-18.00 local Bonn time). Observers not physically present in the room were invited to participate virtually with the help of live webcast and Twitter.
In particular, the thematic dialogue aimed to address the following questions:

• Viewers participated via Twitter by following the hashtag #climatetech to keep track of the conversation and using the same hashtag in their posts to make comments.  To ask the thematic dialogue panel of experts a question or leave a comment, during the event viewers sent their questions or comments to @UN_climatetalks. The entire event was available on webcast.
