At the 5th anniversary of the establishment of the CTCN at the 24th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC on December 10, 2018, GTC was selected as the CTCN Network Agency for the greatest contribution to climate technology cooperation under the UNFCCC
The award was selected as the winner among 478 CTCN network organizations around the world, and it is significant that it has been recognized by the international community for its support and achievements in climate technology cooperation at home and abroad.
GTC said, "In 2016, we became the world's largest CTCN TA operator, carrying out a total of four TAs, starting with winning the CTCN TA project for the first time among non-EU countries." Through this, we have provided an opportunity to transfer domestic climate technologies in various fields such as seawater desalination, climate-adaptive architecture, and energy to developing countries.
In addition, the Ministry of Science and ICT, which is Korea's NDE, and domestic climate technology institutions were encouraged to participate in CTCN cooperation and supported domestic institutions' participation in networking and TA projects. As a result, Korea has the largest number of CTCN member institutions in the world (58 institutions), and the participation of domestic CTCN member institutions in TA (7 Institutions) has been increased.
In particular, in order to expand the opportunity for domestic institutions to participate in TA, we planned a Korean-style CTCN Pro-bono TA projects that only domestic institutions can participate in and carry out bidding, providing opportunities to convey domestic institutional climate technology and promote its excellence to Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, and Serbia.
In addition, as a regional partner of CTCN, we planned and hosted the 'CTCN Asia-Pacific NDE Regional Forum' jointly held by CTCN and the Ministry of Science and ICT, contributing to the capacity development of NDE in Asia-Pacific and the revitalization of networking of domestic and foreign officials. GTC also planned and declared the Seoul Climate Initiative, the first regional forum held by CTCN, in which local NDE participants expressed their willingness to cooperate in climate technology cooperation. The Seoul Climate Initiative includes information on climate technology R&D, demonstration and technical cooperation to respond to climate change issues in the Asia-Pacific region.
With the award of the CTCN Recognition of Contribution, we will continue to strengthen cooperationwith CTCN, contributing to the capacity of domestic member institutions as a representative CTCN network institution, and contributing to the transfer of domestic climate technology and revitalization of projects for developing countries.
