Within the UN Climate Change process, countries have confirmed the importance of enhancing technology development and transfer to developing countries. To facilitate this, in 2010 the Conference of the Parties established the Technology Mechanism. The Technology Mechanism consists of two bodies: the Technology Executive Committee and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)

This Technology Mechanism Event aims to bring together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and financial institutions to explore how policy interventions and data-driven insights can accelerate the financing and deployment of climate technologies in buildings.

The CTCN is the implementation body of the Technology Mechanism. It accelerates the development and transfer of technologies through three services: 

  • Providing technical assistance at the request of developing countries on technology issues
  • Creating access to information and knowledge on climate technologies
  • Fostering collaboration among climate technology stakeholders via its network of regional and sectoral experts

The CTCN is hosted by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and has a network of national, regional, sectoral, and international organizations that support it in undertaking its services.
