Members of the Technology Executive Committee

The TEC shall comprise 22 expert members, elected by the COP, serving in their personal capacity, and nominated by Parties with the aim of achieving a fair and balanced representation, as follows:

• Ten members from Parties included in Annex I to the Convention (Annex I Parties);
• Three members from each of the three regions of the Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention (non-Annex I Parties), namely Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean;
• One member from a small island developing State;
• One member from a least developed country Party;
• One member from Parties not included in the Annex I to the Convention that are not represented by the regions referred to in paragraph 1(b) of appendix IV to decision 1/CP.16

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.

For the implementation of its rolling workplan for 2023-2027, the TEC agreed to establish open-ended activity groups, co-led by TEC members, to support the implementation of activities of the rolling workplan with agreed outputs in 2023–2024. To see the list of activity groups and respective co-leads, please consult the 2024-2025 Open-ended Activity Group Members.

Previously the TEC established task forces to support the implementation of its rolling workplan for 2019 - 2022, more information about these task forces is available here.
