Identified Technology Needs in TNAs and INDCs

The Technology Needs Database (TND) analyzes technology needs for climate mitigation and adaptation identified by developing countries. Mitigation needs are concentrated in energy supply, efficient cities, and mobility, while transport, forestry, and agriculture are underrepresented relative to their emissions. Adaptation needs focus on agriculture, forestry, water management, and disaster prevention, with oceans, coastal zones, and human settlements being relatively underrepresented.

• In the mitigation sector, technology needs are most commonly identified in low emission energy supply, energy efficient cities and infrastructure, and low emission mobility and transportation. While energy and building sectors are well represented, the transport, forestry, and agriculture sectors are relatively underrepresented given their high contribution to overall emissions in many developing countries.
• Adaptation technology needs are primarily identified in climate compatible agriculture and forestry, water management, disaster prevention, meteorological measurement technology, and climate simulation. Agriculture, forestry, and other land use are well represented, whereas priority actions for oceans and coastal zones and human settlements and infrastructure are relatively underrepresented despite their importance for adaptation.
