transfer and capacity building support for the implementation of projects involving these low
carbon technologies. It will also develop domestic ecosystem and partnerships to localise low
carbon technologies and associated high technology interventions related to equipment,
machinery, products, systems and infrastructure, paving the way for their large scale deployment Amnesty International
