CONSIDERATIONS
REGARDING
THE
TRANSFER
OF
TECHNOLOGY FOR ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION CLIMATE
CHANGE
The technology and access to it play a central role in the growth of a
country, a process of closing the gap between producing new
knowledge (industrial countries) and others who are learning to
produce products and processes that are new in their contexts , but
not necessarily to the world.
Technological change is not necessarily innovate, but rather how
the production structure can be changed to achieve higher levels of
productivity or to increase resilience to the impacts of CC . A lot of
technology is already available in the public domain , however , access
to these technologies and channel them to the processes of
accumulation of knowledge and innovation within countries is
neither automatic nor cheap in many cases.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FOR THE CC SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRADE ISSUES AND INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS.
The technological access and modernization, depend not only on the
availability of technologies but the availability of opportunities for trade
and export patterns are important in the formation of structural
transformation of countries .
 For analysis of technologies in each of the priority sectors of RD were
taken into account these main issues and problems that affect them due to
variability and climate change so it was necessary to implement
adaptation and mitigation.
 The National Council for Climate Change and
Clean Development Mechanism conducted a
study “Evaluating Investment Flows and
Financial Flows for the Energy Sector,
mitigation and adaptation in the sectors of
water and tourism in the Dominican
Republic “, as well the Ministry of
Environment and Naturals resources,
conducted
a
draft
“Assessment
of
Technological Necessities (TNA) “which
culminated with a Plan of Technology Action
in the country , whose implementation will
help establish enabling frameworks for the
dissemination of prioritized technologies and
pilot projects facilitates technology transfer
and links to relevant funding sources.
Precedent of both studies and assesments are based
on national strategies and nationals comunication
plans:
*First and Second National Communications :
private sector Studies : ex. Critical points of
Vulnerability to CC and adaptación , Hydrological
Plan , National Forest Strategy , Guidelines for
estrategy, National Climate Change Adaptation
Plan CC.
-Development Economic plan Compatible with
Climate Change, ( DECCC)
*Law No. 1-12 National Development Strategy 20122030 cross : Políticy : environmental sustainability
4th Strategic Axis : ... society of environmentally
Sustainable Production and Consumption that
adapts to climate change .
Developed with the aim of:
 a) Show the results of evaluations sectorial FI & FF, performed in order
to quantify the potential funding streams in adaptation / mitigation (A
/ M) depending national sustainable development needs;
 b) Have a reference point to define positions in the UNFCCC, by
determining flows existing and incremental costs of implementing
measures A / M
 c) Identify the categories of funding sources in both cases. These
assessments contribute to knowledge Dominican society on relevant,
such as, what are the options for adaptation / mitigation in the long
points term - 25 years - who are the investors in the sector and what
changes in flows and needs are additional I & F flows.
PRIORITIES OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTATION IN THE
WATER SYSTEMS AND TOURISM
VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND
VARIABILITY RELATED TO WATER RESOURCES
• There are several factors which contribute to defining
vulnerability to climate change and variability in
relation to water resources , particularly water for
human consumption, among which may be mentioned
the high percentage of population without access to
water supply drinking inside the house and weaknesses
of the system of aqueducts, which do not guarantee
adequate quality standards , all exacerbated by the
drought that is becoming more persistent and problems
of water stress already being presented.
• Loss of increasing quality of the bodies of
Dominicans water, soil degradation associated with
unsustainable agricultural practices , contributes to
reducing the life of reservoirs and threatens food
security. Adaptation measures are in focus in this regard
to building resilience.
TOURISM SECTOR ( FOCUSED ON - SEA COASTAL
SYSTEMS )
Vulnerability of the tourism sector to CC
Over 60 % of the population of the RD ( about 10 million) are
concentrated in urban areas continuously expanding and mostly
located in coastal areas or in areas of high risk of receiving the effects
of hydrometeorological events ends , which added to coastal
environments degraded by poor land management, increasing their
vulnerability.
• Mangroves and coral reefs are the most impacted ecosystems by
previous causes and by poor information and public awareness. This
affects the populations of the coast and the tourist industry, for
which adaptation measures are required.

PRIORITY TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE
IN SECTOR AND SYSTEMS SELECTED IN THE ENT
Systems and Sectors
prioritized technologies
Water System ( Water
Rehabilitation
treatment
plants
wastewater ; Drinking water treatment by
rapid filtration ; System monitoring water
quality ; Spatial planning at the watershed
level through governance ; Harvesting
rainwater; Efficient irrigation system
Tourism Sector
Informal
education:
awareness,
information and training to employees of
hotels , local fishermen and traders in
coastal areas; Rehabilitation of mangroves
and wetlands
Mitigation in the Energy Sector:
RD emissions per capita energy sector is steadily growing, although relative
to other countries in the region occupy an intermediate position. However, if
we analyze it according to the intensity of CO2 emissions - energy
consumption (Gg CO2 / kboe), ranks fourth after countries like Mexico and
Suriname.
To address climate change support, large national efforts to address
mitigation and face the increasingly high price of fossil fuels demand
without compromising economic development and poverty eradication are
required.
Despite the increasing trend in GHG emissions, the country has a potential
for abatement of 11 MtCO2e (DECCC) through energy efficiency in industry
and buildings, fuel switching, maximizing renewable energy in the
generation mix , reduce self-generation and induce the use of natural gas,
among other mitigation measures. The country through strategies such as
the mi6gación DECCC arises as an opportunity to move towards a lowcarbon growth.

Prepared by computer ENT- based RD selected and weighted sectors prioritized in the ENT technologies.
 Dispersion
and duplication of functions regulators, manifested in poor
coordination, lack and weak practice the application of economic instruments and
incentives that promote environmentally sustainable technologies and appropriate
mitigation to climate change.
 Weak participation of private entities and the lack of laws specific.
 The lack of budget items that are reflected in plans public investment in relation to
mitigation measures to help achieve development goals and objectives of sector
plans.
 Technical capabilities, both individually as institutional and systemic are poorly
developed knowledge and implementation of the proposed technologies.
 A major weakness refers to low level of awareness and general information about the
impacts of GHG emissions relative to climate change, both by communities as some
of those responsible for the management of resources, public and private levels.
