The Technology Mechanism and the Technology Executive Committee Technology Mechanism Facilitate the implementation of enhanced action on technology development and transfer to support action on mitigation and adaptation to achieve the full implementation of the Convention, under the guidance of and accountable to the COP The TEC is the Technology Mechanism’s policy body. It provides policy recommendations on climate technology development and transfer. The CTCN is the implementation body of the Technology Mechanism. It provides technical assistance to developing countries.

Technology Executive Committee • The TEC comprises 20 expert members • Analyze technology issues and provide policy recommendations • Catalyze support and facilitate and promote technology cooperation and partnership to scale up implementation of actions • Work in collaboration with the CTCN to promote coherence and synergy within the Technology Mechanism

TEC’s areas of activities 1. Adaptation technologies 2. Mitigation technologies 3. Innovation and RD&D 4. Climate technology financing 5. Technology needs assessment 6. Emerging and cross-cutting issues

Outcomes of COP 23 relevant to the TEC Technology Executive Committee The COP welcomed the work done by the TEC in 2017 and its recommendation on innovation, technology needs assessment and industrial energy and material efficiency. The COP requested the TEC to: • enhance the linkages between the technology needs assessments process and NDCs, and NAPs; • strengthen collaboration with other constituted bodies under the Convention; • Establish a system for carrying out monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of its work; • Enhance its communication and outreach strategy.

Outcomes of COP 23 relevant to the TEC Assessment of the technical examination process (TEP) on mitigation and adaptation Role of the TEC in the TEP process after COP 23: • Ensure that the TEP focuses on specific policy options and opportunities that are actionable in the short term; • Identify topics for the TEP on mitigation for the period until 2020; • Based on the outcome of TEMs, provide recommendation on ways forward and necessary actions and inform: o The summaries of policy makers; o The Talanoa dialogue; o The Global Climate Action high level events

Other COP outcomes relevant to technology development and transfer Poznan strategic programme on technology transfer GEF to allocate funds in its 7 th replenishment to support developing countries in undertaking technology needs assessments, and piloting priority technology projects to foster innovation and investment. Independent review of the effective implementation of the CTCN The COP decided to renew the Mo. U between the CTCN and UNEP for an additional four-year period.
