초록

The Climate Technology Center and Network (CTCN), the implementing body of the Technology Mechanism under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), was established to promote the development, transfer, and deployment of climate technologies in cooperation with National Designated Entities (NDE) and Climate Technology Network (CTN) members. The number of Korean CTN members has increased from 4 in 2016 to 58 in 2018, demonstrating growing interest of Korean technology stakeholders in climate technology cooperation. The participation rate of Korean CTN members in CTCN Technical Assistance (TA) activity, however, remains low (7%). With this backdrop, this research analyzed the current status of CTCN TAs and conducted surveys and in‐depth interviews with selected Korean CTN members.
The results identified three main challenges of lack of information and data of counterpart countries, lack of understanding of the CTCN TA bidding process, and insufficient financial support. The research proposed three key suggestions as follows: the extended role of the Korean NDE as a CTCN focal point, introduction of new financial support for the TA to be funded by governments, and support for capacity building of CTCN stakeholders including NDEs in developing countries as well as for Korean CTN members. Implementation of these suggestions will facilitate and enhance Korea’s climate technology cooperation and, as a result, contribute to global international consorted efforts to address global climate change.
