Roundtable med high-level delegation fra Kirgisistan
Delegationen er i Danmark som led i samarbejde med UN Climate Technology Centre i FN-byen, som har rakt ud til DI Vand for at få hjælp til organiseringen. Der vil også indgå et besøg hos Marselisborg Renseanlæg. Formålet er, at Kirgisistan får input til at formulere tre konceptnoter – heraf formentlig én på vandområdet – som kan danne grundlag for at ansøge om midler i Green Climate Fund, som Kirgisistan er berettiget til.

Baggrund (på engelsk):
The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic requested the UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) to organise a Technology Needs Assessment (TNA), as per guidance under Article 10 of the UNFCCC, using its Green Climate Fund (GCF) readiness funds. The TNA encompasses a set of country-driven activities leading to the identification, prioritisation and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies for both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is managing the TNA project in the Kyrgyz Republic, where the Government requested a technical tour to Denmark to get first-hand experience on the use of climate technologies, as prioritised in the TNA. However, the main aim is for the Kyrgyz delegation to establish relevant contacts in Denmark for technology-specific project development and investment opportunities, to be articulated in three Concept Notes for submission to the GCF.
Focus technologies, meetings and site-visits
Given the results of the sector and technology prioritisation of the Kyrgyz Republic, the technical tour will focus on understanding the history and development of, and investment in, water management technologies (e.g., smart metering for efficient irrigation, energy efficient pumps etc.); waste-to-energy; waste-water treatment facilities; as well as technologies relevant to the agricultural sectors (e.g., biogas plants). The meetings and site-visits are designed to shed light on how these technologies were introduced in Denmark, the challenges that have been encountered by Danish actors and agencies and how they overcame them.
