TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFER 84. [Decides to strengthen the technology needs a**essment (TNA) process, taking into account existing efforts, including under the Poznan strategic programme on technology transfer, by enhancing: (a) The implementation of the results of the TNA process through, inter alia, technology action plans and project proposals; (b) [The alignment of TNAs more closely with bankable finance projects and] improving TNAs to result in implementable projects; (c) The synergy between the TNA process and other arrangements related to the implementation of mitigation and adaption actions, as appropriate; (d) The operationalization of decision 18/CP.20 in the TNA process towards achieving gender-responsive climate policy in all relevant activities under the Convention;]* * This paragraph will be finalized in the light of any relevant decision of COP 21 on strengthening the TNA process. 85.

[The Technology Mechanism of the Convention, including the TEC and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), shall be [strengthened][augmented] in order to effectively anchor technology development through a dedicated nodal research, development and demonstration platform having appropriate human resources, infrastructure and facilities. To achieve this, an expert committee shall be constituted to a**ess the capacity and augmentation needs of the TEC and the CTCN along with its other linkages, for example Financial Mechanism and national focal points, with respect to effectively anchoring technology development and transfer in order to recommend and undertake appropriate measures;] 87.

Option 1: Requests the [IPC] to develop recommendations regarding the technology framework referred to in Article 7, paragraph 3, of the Agreement, for consideration and adoption by the [CMA] at its first session, taking into account the need to avoid duplication and the opportunity to create synergies; the [IPC] should consider, inter alia, the relationship between that framework and the framework for meaningful and effective actions to enhance the implementation of Article 4, paragraph 5, of the Convention, as well as the functions of the former and its linkage to the Technology Mechanism; Option 2: [Decides that the SBI review the Technology Framework with a view to strengthening it, taking into consideration that the framework shall, inter alia] [Requests the [IPC][SBI][SBSTA][others] to elaborate on the technology framework established under Article 7, paragraph 3, of the Agreement, taking into consideration that it shall, inter alia]: (a) Facilitate the undertaking and updating of TNAs in developing country Parties; (b) Facilitate various options for enabling developing countries' access to technologies; (c) Facilitate the [undertaking of technology a**essments][conducting of regular a**essments [on][of] technologies that are ready for transfer]; (d) Make the list of ready-to-transfer technologies; (e) Set the target for supporting the development and transfer of each technology to developing countries; (f) [Mobilize resources to deliver the support] [[Facilitate] enhance financing and technical support for the implementation of the outcomes of the TNAs of developing countries]; (g) Address barriers and create appropriate enabling environments for technology development and transfer; 89. Option 1: Decides that the TEC and the CTCN [shall] [should] report to the [CMA] through the subsidiary bodies on their activities relating to the implementation of the Agreement; Option 2: Decides that the [CMA][governing body] [may][shall][should] provide further guidance to [and strengthen] the [Technology Mechanism][institutional arrangements for technology[ development and transfer]] established under the Convention and serving the Agreement, taking into account the specific needs of [developing countries][Parties not included in Annex X to the Agreement] and countries with special circumstances in Africa, the LDCs and SIDS, and promoting needs-based development, access, management and control, emphasizing the most marginalized; the guidance provided by the [CMA] [governing body] shall not conflict with the guidance provided by the COP; 90. [Decides that [the CMA] [the governing body] [an ad hoc review and monitoring mechanism shall be established and] shall conduct a periodic a**essment of the effectiveness and adequacy [and implementation] of the [Technology Mechanism] [institutional arrangements] for technology development and transfer.
