Green tech transfer is too slow: To help mitigate the effects of climate change on a global scale, there are projects in place to promote the transfer of climate technologies in developing countries. So why aren't they working?

Abstract

TECHNOLOGY is clearly crucial to tackling the climate crisis. From solar panels and smart grids to electric vehicles and green steel, much of the policy plans relies heavily on innovation and new technologies. But since the development and implementation of these technologies is dominated by the richer, developed countries, the UN climate negotiations include a key idea known as 'technology transfer'.
