About the Book To diversify away from fossil-fuelled economic growth and effect structural transformation, developing countries need access to technologies that support low-carbon production and adaptation to climate change. Overcoming the financial, technical and legal barriers to the transfer of these technologies from developed to developing countries requires in turn a coherent policy approach combining national action and international cooperation. Encompassing areas ranging from finance to trade and intellectual property, such an approach should aim to not only boost technology flows to developing countries but also foster endogenous innovation geared towards climate action and sustainable development. VICENTE PAOLO B. YU III is a Senior Legal Adviser of the Third World Network, Visiting Research Fellow at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), and Associate Fellow at the Geneva Center for Security Policy.
