Climate technologies are technologies we use to address climate change. Technologies that help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions include renewable energies such as wind, energy, solar power and hydropower. To adapt to the adverse effects of climate change, we use climate technologies such as drought-resistant crops, early warning systems and sea walls. There are also “soft” climate technologies, such as energy-efficient practices or training for using equipment.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established by countries in 1992 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions to prevent major changes in the climate. The Convention emphasizes the importance of climate technology, including technology transfer, in combatting climate change.
