6 Network Pilot Feasibility Program Goals 1 Assess the feasibility for establishing a Climate Innovation Center in three developing countries to: 1. Produce a tangible, grassroots driven support mechanism for technologyenabled entrepreneurship and private sector development 2. Accelerate the development, deployment and transfer of technologies for mitigation and adaptation of climate change 3. Promote economic and social transformation through SME development and job creation Global Innovation Center best practice report with UNIDO 2 Based on the outcomes of the feasibility studies, implement pilot Innovation Centers in each country over a 3-4 year period 3 Network centers internationally to promote south-south learning, business linkages and exploit synergies.
7 Momentum and demand The CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM Copenhagen Accord Paragraph 11. In order to enhance action on development and transfer of technology we decide to establish a Technology Mechanism to accelerate technology development and transfer The EGTT has asked UNEP to prepare a paper to present and evaluate options for implementing the functions of the climate technology center and network as described in paragraph 10 of the draft Copenhagen technology decision. World Bank Climate Change Strategy: Strategic Framework for Development and Climate Change Advancing Technology: Climate Technology Program launched by InfoDev Kenya Demand: National Climate Change Response Strategy Establishing Local Technological Innovation Centres: Kenya should establish and fund local technological centres that can be used to develop, advance and disseminate local technologies. Such centres can be used for educational purposes (e.g. train local communities on early warning systems), and to promote sustainable agricultural practices, enhance the growth of indigenous small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Demand to Implement CICs: India s Commitment The Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh expressed India s commitment to Climate Innovation Centers; India has proposed the setting up of an international network of Climate Innovation Centers (CICs) which should act as vehicles for enhancing technology innovation and capacity building in developing countries. These Centers could assess and identify locally-relevant key technologies and support their successful and faster development and deployment. Each such center could focus on a key technological product that addresses climate change. The CICs in different countries may also cross-fertilize each other bysharing of learning-by-doing experience.
