Tunisia (TNA 2018) Hybrid vehicles, in particular fully hybrid vehicles Hybrid cars are currently not on the market in Tunisia because of a lack of approved standards and the very low knowledge of the technology. The Government has now introduced a national program in support of hybrid cars. appropriate regulatory and legal framework and by building the capacity of relevant stakeholders. ‘High Performance Engines ’ for the energy industry sector is incorporated into Tunisia’s Green Climate Fund Readiness Programme.

Technology in Paris Agreement Technology in Paris Agreement • Parties share a long term vision on importance of fully realizing technology development and transfer in order to improve resilience to climate change, and to reduce GHG emissions. • Establishment of technology framework to provide guidance to the work of technology mechanism in promoting and facilitating enhanced action on technology development and transfer in order to support the implementation of the PA. • Parties to the UNFCCC shall strengthen cooperative action on technology development and transfer. • The Technology Mechanism established under the Convention shall serve PA .
Technology in Paris Agreement To operationalize Paris Agreement, the COP in its Decision 1/CP.21, (para. 67) requested the SBSTA to initiate elaboration of the Technology Framework which should: • Facilitate undertaking and updating TNAs, and implement their results via bankable projects, • Provide enhanced finance and technical support, • Assess technologies that are ready for transfer, • Enhance enabling environments for, and address barriers to, development and transfer of environmentally and socially sound technologies.
Technology in Paris Agreement Key themes of the Technology Framework: • Innovation • Implementation (TNAs) • Enabling environments and capacity building • Collaboration and stakeholder engagement • Support
Technology in Paris Agreement Implementation: • Actions and activities under this key theme should also facilitate the implementation of mitigation and adaptation action identified using planning tools and processes such as: - nationally determined contributions, - long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies, technology needs assessments, - - national adaptation plans, - technology road maps and - other relevant policies, and facilitate overcoming challenges by implementing such action.
Technology in Paris Agreement Implementation: TNA discussed workstreams: • Facilitating the undertaking and updating of TNAs , as well as enhancing the implementation of their results, particularly technology action plans and project ideas, and capacity building related to TNAs. • Promoting the alignment of TNAs with NDCs and NAPs in order to increase coherence between the implementation of those national plans with national strategies to achieve climate-resilient and low-emission development. • Reviewing the TNA guidelines and updating them as necessary with a view to TNAs leading to plans and implementation that are aligned with the transformational changes envisioned in the Paris Agreement.
