The broadband bridge: linking ICT with climate action for a low-carbon economy : a report by the broadband commission
Broadband commission, 2012The purpose of the report is to raise awareness about the pivotal role that ICT and broadband can play in helping to create the low-carbon economy of the future, and it identifies best practices, expresses the views of leaders and outlines clear recommendations for policymakers.
It emphasizes the kind of transformative solutions that are enabled by broadband and provides practical examples of how broadband can be used to help societies reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change, and promote resource efficiency. The report concludes with ...

International technology agreements for climate change - Analysis based on co-invention data
This paper examines the effect of multilateral energy technology initiatives, so called "Implementing Agreements", on international research collaboration in seven important climate change mitigation technologies. The analysis is conducted using patent data on 33 OECD countries during the period 1970- 2009. We find that co-invention is significantly affected by the membership in the Implementing Agreement. Extending adherence to other countries would increase co-invention by about 90% in the case of wind and fuel cells, and even more in the case of biofuels, solar PV and CCS. Given the urgency ...
Overcoming Barriers to the Transfer and Diffusion of Climate Technologies
UNEP, 2012The guidebook is structured in eight chapters. First, the guidebook introduces the main concepts to be used. Four generic categories are defined: consumer goods, capital goods, public goods and non-market goods. These categories are used throughout the book to ease the identification of generic barriers and measures. Thereafter, guidance is provided on how to identify and analyse barriers to the transfer and diffusion of climate technologies.
IPCC Special Report. Methodological and Technological Issues in Technology Transfer
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - IPCC, 2000Effective global response to climate change requires the development and transfer of environmentally sound technologies between and within countries, both for adapting to climate change as well as for mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. This IPCC Special Report provides a state-of-the-art overview of how to achieve and enhance this transfer. 185 eminent experts from around the world provide accurate, unbiased, policy-relevant information on technology transfer, such as capacity building, the promotion of an enabling environment, and mechanisms for technology transfer from devel ...
IPCC Special Report. Methodological and Technological Issues in Technology Transfer : summary for Policymakers
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - IPCC, 2000This Special Report has been prepared by IPCC Working Group III in response to a request by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to the UNFCC. Innovation and enhanced efforts to transfer environmentally sound technology to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to climate change will be required to meet the objective of the Climate Convention and to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts. The report addresses the technology transfer problem in the context of climate change while emphasizing the sustainable development perspective.
Rapport spécial du GIEC. Questions méthodologiques et technologiques dans le transfert de technologie : résumé à l'intention des décideurs
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Programme des Nations Unies pour l'environnement (PNUE); Groupe d'experts d'évaluation scientifique du Protocole de Montréal relatif à des substances qui appauvrissent la couche d'ozone - GIEC, 2000Le présent le GIEC donne des directives pour un transfert de technologies (ensemble de processus englobant les flux de savoir-faire, d'expérience et de matériel) écologiquement rationnel pour limiter les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et s'adapter aux changements climatiques. Ce transfert ne peut être que le résultat de nombreuses décisions (économiques, politiques, juridiques et technologiques) prises au jour le jour par les différentes parties prenantes impliquées. Cela suppose la prise en compte des besoins et des priorités au niveau local. le présent Rapport expose ce que les gouverneme ...
Informe especial del IPCC. Cuestiones metodológicas y tecnológicas en la transferencia de tecnología : resumen para responsables de políticas
Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM); Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA); Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Climático (IPCC) - IPCC, 2000El presente Informe Especial ha sido elaborado por el Grupo de
trabajo III del IPCC en respuesta a una petición del Organo Subsidiario de Asesoramiento Científico y Tecnológico (OSACT)de la CMCC. Para cumplir el objetivo de la Convención sobre el clima y para reducir la vulnerabilidad a los impactos del cambio climático serán necesarios esfuerzos innovadores y más intensos que permitan transferir tecnologías respetuosas con el medio ambiente, a fin de limitar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y de adaptarse al cambio climático. En el presente informe se examina el problema d ...
