Planning and Scaling-Up Technologies:- "THE PROBLEM" Climate technologies have significant adaptation and mitigation potential. Developing countries need access to advanced climate technologies in order to adapt to the impacts of climate change and to move onto low emission development pathways. There is a need to identify which technology can best be adapted to their local circumstances, as well as to remove barriers preventing the widespread diffusion of climate technologies in national markets. These barriers include high cost, import and export restrictions, inadequate government policies andregulations, and lack of experience and knowledge to operate and maintain these technologies. Hence developing country parties are encouraged to undertake assessments of country specific technology needs and to identify capacity gaps and barriers. Technology transfer is a complex process involving a broad range of interests. It requires mechanisms that actively engage the multitude of stakeholders involved such as government agencies, businesses, donors, technology institutions, research organizations, and NGOs. Collaborative networks for technology transfer bring together these different actors and contributeto finding solutions to specific technology problems.
