Technology Executive Committee
Strengthening climate technology policies
Members of the Technology Executive Committee
The Technology Executive Committee (TEC) consists of 20 experts representing both developed and developing countries. The members serve in their personal capacity and come from the following regions:
• 9 members from Annex I Parties
• 3 members from each of Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean
• 1 member from a small island developing state
• 1 member from a least developed country
Each year, the TEC elects a chair and a vice-chair from among its members. One comes from an Annex I Party and the other from a non-Annex I Party.
Additionally, the TEC establishes task forces to support the implementation of its rolling workplan. Read more about the different task forces here.
