The ESCWA Technology Centre (ETC) is a specialized regional centre established in 2010 and hosted by the government of Jordan at the Royal Scientific Society in Amman. The main objectives of the Centre are to strengthen the capabilities of local, national and regional stakeholders operating in member countries to develop, transfer, and adapt technology; and improve the legal and commercial framework for the transfer of such technologies. The Centre also aims at enhancing the technological and scientific knowledge content of major economic sectors in member countries. The meeting resulted in key messages and recommendations that ESCAW will take into consideration to formulate a set of options on how best to scale up green and climate technology deployment and access to finance as key means of implementation (MOI) to accelerate the Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) achievement and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) implementation.
