This book explores the possibilities and scope of facilitating
innovation and transfer of the environmentally sound technologies
in the Post-Paris climate era. The possibilities to be explored by
the book will first focus on the roles of the climate finance and
technological cooperation mechanisms in innovation and transfer of
environmentally sound technologies. Secondly, the book will focus
on role of the 'flexible mechanism' (i.e. indirect financial
mechanisms), which has been re-introduced by the Paris Agreement as
'voluntary cooperation' or 'sustainable development' mechanism in
innovation and transfer of environmentally sound technologies.
Thirdly, the book will contain a comparative analysis regarding
efficiency of the technology transfer mechanism under global
climate regime in comparison with technology transfer mechanism
that exists under other multilateral environmental agreements
(MEAs). In addition to the above, since the issues of
trans-boundary technology transfer is also a matter of concern for
international trade, the book will discuss to what extent the
international trade related laws e.g. intellectual property laws,
investment related laws governed by the World Trade Organizations
(WTO) can play role in facilitating transfer of the environmentally
sound technologies. Another important aspect that this book will
cover is potential roles which private sectors can play in
innovating and transferring environmentally sound technologies
under above-mentioned instruments of international law. In short,
this book will be based on the argument that if global climate
regime and the international trade regime collaborate each other in
creating enabling environment and attracting private sector to
invest in the field of environmentally sound technologies, the
global challenges of innovation and transfer of the environmentally
sound technologies to the developing and least developed countries
can be fulfilled in more efficient manner. From conceptual
perspectives, discussions and analyses of the book will be made in
the light of the principles of equity and common but differentiated
responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC) - two main
guiding principles of the international laws on climate change.
This book will be of great interest to scholars of climate change,
technology transfer, intellectual property and sustainable
development. Besides, national and international level policy
makers dealing with climate change and sustainable development will
be greatly benefitted from this book.
