The Technology Mechanism under the UNFCCC: Ways Forward

This policy brief discusses the Technology Mechanism established by the UNFCCC under the 2010 Cancún Agreements to facilitate technology development and transfer for climate mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. It aims to suggest ways the mechanism can support activities by reviewing literature on international technology interventions and innovation systems.

• The UNFCCC established the Technology Mechanism as part of the 2010 Cancún Agreements to support mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. This involves facilitating actions for technology research, development, demonstration, deployment, diffusion, and transfer, guided by nationally determined technology needs.
• The policy brief emphasizes that the success of the Technology Mechanism depends on understanding effective international interventions in national innovation systems and establishing balanced governance to ensure these activities are supported and implemented.
