One aspect of the Technology Needs Assessment is the development of Technology Action Plans (TAPs). TAPs specify activities (based on the enabling frameworks) at the sectoral and cross-cutting levels to facilitate the transfer, adoption and diffusion of selected technologies in the participant countries.
The aim is to provide practical and operational guidance on how to assess the barriers to identified technologies in the countries concerned, and on how to address and overcome these barriers through different types of measures. The guidebook feeds into the process of the preparation of TAPs based on the measures that have been identified and prioritized, which is the outcome of undertaking the barrier analysis. Logical consistency and coherence between components two and three should be ensured by establishing clear links between the barriers and the measures identified in the barrier analysis and the subsequent policies and plans to promote the transfer and diffusion of climate technologies in the TAPs.
