The spectrum of the debate on environmentally sound technologies is as lively as the broader debate on environment & development. Amidst the spectrum is the realism that a world where three fourths of the people live below the so-called 'modern standard', technology can neither be done away with nor can it be blindly trusted. This point of realism provides common ground for constructive work on the technology dimension of the environment & development nexus. This study discusses several opinions on this subject & examines the extent to which the proposed measures are likely to increase access to transfer & diffusion of environmentally sound technologies.

Technological revolutions have increased the world’s wealth unevenly and in ways that have accelerated climate change. This report argues that achieving The Paris Agreement’s objectives would require a massive transfer of existing and commercially proven low-carbon technologies (LCT) from high-income to developing countries where the bulk of future emissions is expected to occur. This mass deployment is not only a necessity but also an opportunity: Policies to deploy LCT can help countries achieve economic and other development objectives, like improving human health, in addition to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). Additionally, LCT deployment offers an opportunity for countries with sufficient capabilities to benefit from participation in global value chains and produce and export LCTs. Finally, the report calls for a greater international involvement in supporting the poorest countries, which have the least access to LCT and finance and the most underdeveloped physical, technological, and institutional capabilities that are essential to benefit from technology.

This publication reviews the advances in frontier technologies including automation, robotics, renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, biotechnologies and artificial intelligence and analyzes their economic, social and environmental impact. These technologies present immense potentials for the 2030 Agenda, fostering growth, prosperity and environmental sustainability. They also pose significant risks of unemployment, underemployment and rising income and wealth inequality and raise new ethical and moral concerns. The Survey identifies policy measures at national levels with the capacity to both maximize the potential of these technologies and mitigate their risks, thereby striking a balance among economic efficiency, equity and ethical considerations

The 1992 Rio Conference on the environment and development saw much attention paid to the concept of the transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs), co-operation and capacity building. However since then momentum has been lost despite a widespread acceptance that cleaner technologies would benefit us all. Some of the reasons for this are intellectual property rights and the economic interests of large corporations, but the public sector has also failed in its responsibilities to transfer ESTs to the developing world. Much of their work has never left the laboratory, whilst in other cases the transfer of technology to the private sector for was confused with diffusion.This book looks at the problem based on nine case studies which look at the situation in individual countries. It also looks at legal regimes and the role of universities in the generation of ESTs. The final section looks for policy options based on partnering, alliances and networking.
