Successful transfer of environmentally sound technologies for greenhouse gas mitigation: a framework for matching the needs of developing countries

摘要

Transferring appropriate environmentally sound technologies(EST) and ensuring their effective implementation can help arrest the sharp growth in the greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries(DC). However, past experiences indicate that, to be successful, the technologies being transferred have to match certain requirements of the DC. For example, the technologies should be relevant to the local needs of the DC, and sufficient expertise should be made available in the local market to maintain the technology. Thus the matching process has to consider multiple criteria and the opinions of several stakeholders.
