She highlighted the importance of promoting technology transfer within the UNFCCC process and welcomed activities on the ground that transfer technologies for adaptation to developing countries.

Mr. Elmer Holt, CTI, highlighted CTI experiences in supporting countries to prepare their TNAs.

Noting that CTI aims to foster rapid development of climate technologies, he stressed that TNA needs to be followed up and implemented.

The application of satellite technology forms an important element of technical cooperation activities in both meteorology and operational hydrology.

Adaptation to climate change involves more than merely the application of a particular technology.

The CTI data set indicates that most national centres had more than one mission.

The CTI data set also provides information about who are the users of the information provided by centres.

Some of the specific initiatives mentioned include the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI), the Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange (GREENTIE), the Centre for the Analysis and Dissemination of demonstrated Energy Technologies (CADDET), and the International Model Forest Programme (IMFP).

The SBSTA acknowledged the continuing support of the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) and also encouraged the CTI to collaborate further with UNEP and UNDP on preliminary analysis of the results of technology needs assessments.

Mr. Kishan Kumarsingh, the Chair of the EGTT, outlined the UNFCCC work on technology transfer and adaptation and noted that identifying and implementing technologies for adaptation will involve activities such as vulnerability assessment and technology needs assessment (TNAs).

The technology behind this tool was developed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

As far as technologically and economically possible, they intend to use high efficiency technologies for power production from coal, including supercritical steam technology, integrated coal gasification combined cycle and fluidized bed technology.

(d) The SBSTA noted the progress in the preparation of the IPCC special reports on Aviation and the Global Atmosphere, Methodological and Technological Aspects of Technology Transfer Opportunities for Technology Co operation, and Emission Scenarios, and requested the IPCC to complete those reports as soon as feasible.

Stressing various uncertainties, he suggested that investments in these technologies may begin with present day needs that address climate variability concerns and are further justified by consideration of climate change.

A project concerning the establishment of short term weather forecasting and regional weather service based on advanced space and remote sensing techniques, including weather radar, SODAR, microwave radiometry and weather satellites, has entered into an operational phase.

Workshop on Emerging Trends in Satellite Meteorology Technology and Applications

2. The 1990 report contained assessments of trends and developments in five major fields nuclear technology, space technology, materials technology, information technology and biotechnology.

These activities cover, in particular, space telecommunications, Earth observation (remote sensing and meteorology), location and space technologies.
