Low carbon technology transfer to developing countries has been
both a lynchpin of, and a key stumbling block to a global deal on
climate change. This book brings together for the first time in one
place the work of some of the world's leading contemporary
researchers in this field. It provides a practical, empirically
grounded guide for policy makers and practitioners, while at the
same time making new theoretical advances in combining insights
from the literature on technology transfer and the literature on
low carbon innovation.
The book begins by summarizing the nature of low carbon
technology transfer and its contemporary relevance in the context
of climate change, before introducing a new theoretical framework
through which effective policy mechanisms can be analyzed. The
north-south, developed-developing country differences and synergies
are then introduced together with the relevant international policy
context. Uniquely, the book also introduces questions around the
extent to which current approaches to technology transfer under the
international policy regime might be considered to be 'pro-poor'.
Throughout, the book draws on cutting edge empirical work to
illustrate the insights it affords. The book concludes by setting
out constructive ways forward towards delivering on existing
international commitments in this area, including practical tools
for decision makers.
