Climate Technology Initiative (CTI)
The CTI is a multilateral initiative that operates through an Implementing Agreement under the International Energy Agency (IEA). Its mission is to bring together stakeholders from the public and private sectors to foster international cooperation in the accelerated development and diffusion of climate-friendly and environmentally sound technologies and practices. CTI participating countries undertake a broad range of co-operative activities in partnership with developing and transition countries and other international bodies.
The CTI currently has 11 member countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, Norway, Republic of Korea, Sweden, UK and USA and works closely with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process, including its Secretariat and the Expert Group on Technology Transfer (EGTT), relevant IEA Implementing Agreements and other international organizations or initiatives. The CTI's activities are designed to be consistent with the UNFCCC objectives, in particular the framework for technology transfer incorporated in the Marrakech Accords and adopted at the Seventh Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC. As an IEA Implementing Agreement, the CTI intends to continue its current programme and to extend it into new areas consistent with its overall objectives.The CTI Programme Secretariat is housed at the International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT).

CTI Private Financing Advisory Network (CTI PFAN)
CTI PFAN is a multilateral, public- private partnership initiated by the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) in cooperation with the UNFCCC Expert Group on Technology Transfer (EGTT). and supported by a number of private sector companies in the financing sectors of the clean / renewable energy industry (CE / RE). CTI PFAN's objectives are to broaden the access to financing for climate friendly and technology transfer projects in the CE / RE sectors in developing countries / economies in transition, and to get more renewable energy and climate friendly projects financed and thereby to accelerate technology transfer under the UNFCCC.
CTI PFAN was established to bridge the gap that exists between investors and financiers on the one hand, and entrepreneurs and project developers on the other to help the parties speak the same language and thereby develop and produce financially viable, bankable project and financing proposals. CTI PFAN targets clean energy projects that may be suitable for private sector finance at an early stage and then acts as a project financing coaching and consultancy service to guide such projects to bankability and financial closure.
