Part-time, of Parties to the Climate Convention and represents an opportunity to track an evolving need for new equipment, techniques, practical knowledge and skills, which are necessary to mitigate GHG emissions and/or reduce the vulnerability of sectors and livelihoods to the adverse impacts of climate change. The Republic of Kazakhstan is starting its TNA in 2025. The main objectives of the project are: To identify and prioritise through country-driven participatory processes, technologies that can contribute to mitigation and adaptation goals of the participant countries, while meeting their national sustainable development goals and priorities; To identify barriers hindering the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of the prioritised technologies; To develop Technology Action Plans specifying activities and enabling frameworks to overcome the barriers and facilitate the transfer, adoption and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries and policy briefs
summarizing the policy relevant actions within the Technology Action Plans in a short and user-friendly way; To develop project ideas for attracting funding to implement selected technologies in priority areas of national relevance.
