Asian Development Bank Launches Exchange To Bring Low-Carbon Technology to Region

摘要

The Asian Development Bank has launched a marketplace to help the region better prepare for climate change by acquiring low-carbon technology from developed nations. The marketplace, IPEx Cleantech Asia, will support developing countries in Asia that could benefit from the advanced hardware and knowledge that industrialized countries have. "It will be a service that will increase the rate of technology transfer to the Asia-Pacific region," Jiwan Acha-rya, the development bank's senior climate change specialist, told Bloomberg BNA by phone Dec. 9. He had just traveled to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change conference in Lima, where the program was announced.
