Transformational Change Guidance for Technology Needs Assessment

Transformational Change Guidance for Technology Needs Assessment

The guidebook familiarizes the reader with the concept of transformational change in the context of the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda and the UNFCCC Technology Framework. Transformational change is defined, and its operationalisation is discussed as an integral part in all steps of the TNA process. Two case studies from previous TNAs, in Mongolia and Moldova, illustrate how transformational characteristics, outcomes and impacts can be assessed and promoted. Finally, the guidance note presents strategic opportunities and recommendations for TNAs to promote transformational change.

This guidebook is produced as part of the GEF-Funded Global Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project, implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) through the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The guidebook will be used by national TNA teams, comprising stakeholders from government, non-governmental organisations, private sector and others.
