Founded in 2010, the Global Adaptation Network(GAN) provides a worldwide platform to distribute and exchange climate change adaptation knowledge in a variety of ways. It emphasizes the value of direct personal exchange and partnerships, often within particular regions of vulnerability. The secretariat of GAN is hosted by the UN [United Nations] Environment in Nairobi. 3, record 1, English, - Global%20Adaptation%20Network

Collector grids have conventionally been metallic grids that can obscure the solar cell, resulting in a loss of efficiency. To reduce obscuration, some known solar cells use a transparent conductive coating(TCC), such as gallium nitride(GaN), as the collector grid. 1, record 2, English, - collector%20grid

Les grilles collectrices prennent traditionnellement la forme de grilles métalliques pouvant occulter la cellule solaire, ce qui se traduit par une perte de rendement. Afin de réduire l'obscurcissement, certaines cellules solaires comprennent une couche conductrice transparente, notamment à base de nitrure de gallium, en guise de grille collectrice. 2, record 2, French, - grille%20collectrice
