Handbook for Conducting Technology Needs Assessment for Climate Change

This manual is designed to assist countries in making informed decisions in their technology choices. Building on lessons from earlier Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) efforts over the past decade, it offers a systematic approach for conducting assessments in order to identify, evaluate and prioritize technological means for both mitigation and adaptation. It also provides processes and methodologies for uncovering gaps in enabling frameworks and capacities and for formulating a national action plan to overcome them, as part of overall climate change strategies and plans.
