Appropriate technologies

German Information and Advisory Service on Appropriate Technology GTZ

Technology transfer, which was of crucial importance for the developing countries, should focus on the building of their endogenous capacity, in order to facilitate the optimal transferability of technology, its adequate absorption and its practical applicability.

(b) Overseeing the establishment of the technical cooperation programme

Even if it was not technically and economically feasible at present, the international community should not neglect the efforts to develop adequate technologies to cleanse outer space in the future.

Needs for technologies for adaptation and TNA studies

We believe that such a definition must be a technical legal concept, suitable for a criminal law instrument, and not a broad political statement.

How can technologies contribute to adaptation?

FCCC TP 1997 3 Adaptation technologies

To ensure the tradeability of technology, it is imperative that the technology be appropriate and adaptable.

In addition, a geographical information system (GIS) environmental database is being developed and testing of other appropriate environmental technologies is under way.

To appreciate fully the scope and implications of the transformations that are under way, it is helpful to consider the heterogeneity of the technologies and services in the ICT revolution, and to consider the opportunities and constraints facing the producers and users of ICTs.

Assessing adaptation strategies and technologies

Technology transfer adaptation and development.

It was recognized that adaptation technologies should include both hard technologies and soft technologies, including processes and tools.

In this regard, the Committee suggests that the State party may wish to seek technical assistance.

In this regard, the Committee suggests that the State party may wish to seek technical assistance.

(b) International efforts should promote the adequate transfer of appropriate technologies from developed countries to developing countries, and universities and research centres in developing countries should actively participate in that process

Mr. Vladu noted that technological approaches to adaptation include both hard technologies such as capital goods and hardware, as well as soft technologies such as knowledge of methods and techniques which enable hard technologies to be applied.

He mentioned plans for an online database of adaptation options to share local knowledge and endogenous adaptation techniques.

So it's very easy, comparatively speaking, to be resilient.

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

Give advice on appropriate technology.

He pointed out that conducting a TNA for technologies for adaptation is more complex and challenging than for mitigation technologies and highlighted several key aspects in the identification of technology needs for adaptation.

The Office is considering the creation of a centralized electronic roster of consultants and individual contractors for the Secretariat once the appropriate information technology tools are available.

Noting the recommendations of the Committee on Science and Technology with respect to the terms of reference and the most suitable contractor for the work contemplated in article 25 of the Convention,

Couldn't manage it.

We in Schkona built faster and cheaper with the aid of modern technology.

Like all new technologies, novel energy technologies have to undergo a period of adaptation before they can become technologically viable and readily adaptable.

The acquisition of technology solutions which are relevant to Africa

Installing appropriate renewable energy technologies.

Evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of procedures to ensure proper governance of ICT the existence of an ICT strategy and appropriate organizational structure adequate security and continuity planning and technical support to users.

Technical studies are being carried out, and a suitable launcher is being identified.

Adaptation to climate change involves more than merely the application of a particular technology.

I guess any day is a good day for a launching in these times.

However, the Working Group had also felt that it should not embark on any technical consideration regarding the appropriateness of using any given standard (ibid., para. 111).

(d) Appropriate training of scientific and technical personnel.

15. Software technology for developing countries

Mr. Kishan Kumarsingh, the Chair of the EGTT, outlined the UNFCCC work on technology transfer and adaptation and noted that identifying and implementing technologies for adaptation will involve activities such as vulnerability assessment and technology needs assessment (TNAs).
