On Wednesday, 1 June, the UNFCCC Workshop on Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) convened, with the objective of sharing good practices and lessons learned form non-Annex I parties’ experiences conducting TNAs, identifying specific needs and practical actions to assist parties in implementing results of TNAs, and discussing the roles of TNAs in the context of implementation of the Technology Mechanism as established in Decision 1/CP.16 (Cancun Agreements).

Following brief welcoming statements, the workshop commenced, chaired by Kishan Kumarsingh (Trinidad and Tobago), with a session on setting the scene, including background information and workshop expectations.
