Lessons Learned and Future
Thailand’s TNA Activities
• When did Thailand do TNA?
– Depends on what do we mean by TNA (TNA in
general, TNA under Climate Change, TNA under Art.
4.5, TNA under NC, TNA under other relevant
activities etc.)
• TNA under Climate Change (UNFCCC)
– Practically done since conducting Climate Change
Research (1980s)
– In 2001, under Enabling Activities II
– In 2007 under the Second National Communication
– In 200X under NCSA
• How did Thailand do TNA?
– Automatic
• It was part of the research process (e.g. implications
from research works such as NC preparation, EAII,
National CDM strategy, SIDA projects, AIAAC
project)
• It was output/outcome of planning process ( e.g.
Climate Change R&D plan, Education and public
awareness plan)
– Scope given by the UNFCCC/GEF
• EAII
• NCSA
TNA activities in Thailand
• Knowledge about the needs accumulated from
R&D on CC among climate change
researchers, experts, NFP etc.
– USCSP, AIAAC etc.
– UNEP, ADB, UNDP, SIDA, World
Bank/AUSAID, etc.
• National Communication Preparation
• Enabling Activities II (conducting TNA
process)
The TNA Process under EAII project
• Identifying key areas
– Technology
– Capacity building
• Categorizing types
– Research vs Action
– Mitigation vs Adaptation
•
•
•
•
Identifying sectors e.g. agriculture, energy, water resources
Analyzing technical options
Prioritizing the options
Detailed review of key areas i.e. technology, know-how,
capacity building
THE PRACTICE
• Summary of “technology transfer and capacity
building needs”
• Preliminary identification of technology needs
• Brainstorming process (mainly experts)
• Revisiting “technology needs identification”
• Opened workshop
• CDM Strategy project
• Further in-depth specific “know-how” need
assessment
The Outputs/Outcomes
• Obtained technology needs and priorities
• Integrated into national development priorities
• Another accumulation of technology needs for
future use
Lessons Learned
• TNA is an evolution process.
• TNA needs involvement of specialists and stakeholders
• TNA is not an end-product, but part of the process to
meet certain objectives
• Without a complete process, TNA is just thunder
without storm…. Hence
We should look for TTA not just TNA
Thank you for your attention
TNA in general
• Demand-driven or supply-driven oriented
• Public sector tends to be supply-driven; private sector more
demand-driven or market-driven
• Thailand experienced both and sometimes faced difficulty in
matching D&S
• We are now exploring NSDB approach in identifying technology
development and streamlining D&S
