Technology Implementation Programme: Negotiations State of Play (Discussion Paper)

This paper outlines the current state of discussion on the Technology Implementation Programme (TIP) and presents a range of options related its modalities. Two years since its establishment, Parties have not yet reached consensus on how to operationalize the TIP. Without shared understanding of the TIP’s purpose and operational modalities, there is a gap in the implementation of the technology agenda under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). With the second periodic review of the Technology Mechanism (TM) already underway and due to conclude at COP32 (2027), the absence of an operational TIP could limit Parties’ ability to respond to lessons learned from the first TM review and to strengthen implementation of technology priorities.
