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. Bayahibe Beach, after Sandy Storm. Bayahibe Beach 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.

Technology prioritized in the TNA report for climate change mitigation systems and priority sectors Electric subsector . 1. Energy Efficiency : Use of more efficient equipment for lighting support public entities and audited to make the change of technology to more efficient luminaries equipment that enable savings in electricity billing and reducing CO2 emissions to the environment. 2. Biomass (wood, agricultural waste , solid waste, biofuel) - The national inventory of biomass pursues Iden6ficar the biomass potential in the country, as a means of developing new technologies for the use of it as a renewable resource for the production of electricity and / or heat . Also for the subsector road transport: 1) Training Program efficient driving ; 2) more efficient vehicles - fuel switching . 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.
