Mission
APCTT is the premier Centre for climate change technologies and innovation and promoting technology cooperation in the region.
Aspirations
- Be a facilitator, enabler and Capacity Building hub for new, innovative and emerging climate technologies.
- Promote an enabling environment and infrastructure for technology cooperation and transfer.
- Make a visible change along with member States, partners and stakeholders on technology transfer.
- Demonstrate teamwork and innovations in technologies, business processes and own operations
Prioritized Thematic Areas
- Energy transition and renewable technologies
- Climate resilient infrastructure in cities
- Digital and fourth industrial technologies (4IR)
- Air pollution control technologies
Strategic Framework
In the next five years, APCTT will focus on three interlinked strategies and prioritized technologies to meet its key objectives.
Strategy 1: Technology innovation and scale-up of new, emerging technologies
This strategy aims to strengthen the capacity of member states to develop, adopt, and scale up new and emerging technologies, especially in the prioritized areas of energy transition and renewables, climate-resilient infrastructure, digital and 4IR technologies, and air pollution control. This strategy recognizes the constraint of inadequate capacities among stakeholders in the region and focuses on enhancing the skills and availability of technical personnel, providing technical support in technology assessments, and facilitating partnerships and knowledge-sharing platforms for effective technology transfer
Strategy 2: Enabling policies and linkages (including technology & financing mechanisms)
Acknowledging that policy gaps and the high cost of technology adoption hinder progress, this strategy focuses on creating a more enabling environment for technology transfer. APCTT will support the strengthening of national technology policies through policy reviews and assessments, help develop technology adoption roadmaps, and facilitate access to financing and technical support mechanisms. The goal is to connect national stakeholders with financial institutions, technology providers, and technical experts, easing the financial burden and complexities of technology adoption
Strategy 3: Enhance cross-border cooperation and networking for technology transfer
This strategy recognizes the importance of regional collaboration and knowledge sharing for a wider and faster adoption of emerging technologies. APCTT will work towards enhancing cross-border cooperation through strengthening regional frameworks, networks, and institutions, facilitating cross-border knowledge management, and strengthening regional cooperation mechanisms for technology transfer, particularly in the prioritized areas. It includes establishing regional cooperation platforms, supporting technology facilitation consultations, promoting cross-learning, and enabling joint proposal development and programs among member states
Implementation Modalities
Following are the key modalities or service lines APCTT will use to implement the above strategies.
