Abstract: | The purpose of technology transfer under the UNFCCC Article 4.5 is to “…promote, facilitate, and finance as appropriate the
transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies and know how to other Parties particularly Developing Country
parties to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention.” The key challenge in this respect is that low-carbon
sustainable technologies need to be adopted both by developed as well as developing countries. However, this paper focuses
on the process of technology transfer to developing countries to allow them to move quickly to environmentally sound and sustainable
practices, institutions and technologies. In the above framework, this paper reviews key aspects of technology transfer from
a range of perspectives in the literature and discusses insights from this literature for the transfer and innovation process
needed to reduce global vulnerability to climate change in the context of current international activities based on the research
undertaken by the EU sponsored ENTTRANS project. |
