6 December 2016, Kobe, Japan – For the next 2 days, APN is convening a scoping workshop on technology transfer needs for developing countries in Asia and the Pacific. The main objective of the workshop is to develop a robust collaborative regional research and capacity development frameworks under the APN. These frameworks are expected to support technology transfer research, synthesis, assessment and capacity development activities, which will produce information for decision makers that could lead to stronger solutions for an adaptable, sustainable, and low-carbon Asia-Pacific under a warming climate.
