Technology Cycle
MARGAREE 3
The Challenge Accelerate development of evolving set of 150 mitigation and 100+ adaptation technologies that are at different stages and have different needs
Transfer these technologies to 150 developing countries where the barriers facing each technology differ
Do this with only a small fraction of total funding -- most funding is from the private sector and most public funding is domestic in a small number of developed countries
MARGAREE 4
Technology RD&D Vast majority of RD&D done in a few developed countries – Japan, USA, EU
RD&D in developed countries needs to be scaled up and shifted away from fossil fuels
Cooperation with developing countries could include contribution to the cost of: • Participating in international technology agreements • Operating RD&D centres that participate in an
international network similar to CGIAR
MARGAREE 5
Technology Deployment Technology available but more costly, incentives for use needed to reduce cost (learning curve)
Deployment in developed countries needs to be scaled up through domestic policies
Cooperation with developing countries could include funding for deployment based on: • Lowest cost bids by developing countries • Fixed amount per unit – e.g., $X/MW for wind turbines
– which would decline over time
MARGAREE 6
Technology Diffusion Technology more costly by less than the market price of carbon
Developed countries scale up diffusion using domestic policies and commit to use of CDM
Cooperation with developing countries could include: • CDM and other, expanded crediting mechanisms • Direct funding for agreed technologies, such as CCS
and REDD
MARGAREE 7
Technology Transfer Technology transfer involves capacity building, creation of enabling environments, and other actions to support adoption of technologies at deployment, diffusion and commercial stages in developing countries
Cooperation with developing countries could include funding for preparation and implementation of national technology transfer plans: • Technology transfer plans, similar to Montreal Protocol, build on
technology needs assessments • Technology transfer plans identify measures to build capacity and
enabling environment for technologies • Plans should include changes to domestic policies where
appropriate; removal of import duties on the technology, changes to standards, etc.
• Funding would not subsidize the cost of the technology
MARGAREE 8
Technology Transfer in the CDM Technology transfer is not a requirement for the CDM, but host countries can encourage transfer through approvals
Technology transfer claimed for 39% of projects representing 64% of expected reductions; lower rates of technology transfer for unilateral and small-scale projects
Rate varies by project type, ranging from 7% to 100% of projects
Korea has higher rate and India lower rate of technology transfer than average
Equipment and knowledge for 56% of projects, equipment only for 33%, knowledge only for 11%
MARGAREE 9
Technology Financing Currently most funding for technology development and technology transfer is private and in developed countries
Technology cooperation with developing countries could require international financing for: • Participation in international RD&D • Accelerated deployment, diffusion of selected technologies • Preparation and implementation of technology transfer plans
Amount needed not known, perhaps a few billion USD/yr
Several sources identified that could provide sufficient funds for adaptation, mitigation and technology cooperation

The decision to abolish the Applicant’s post and to terminate his
permanent appointment was contrary to General Assembly resolution
54/249, adopted on 23 December 1999, which emphasized that
“the introduction of new technology should lead neither to
the involuntary separation of staff nor necessarily to a reduction of
staff”. (...) There are international norms and standards regarding the termination
of employment of work due to economic, technological or structural change,
and the rights of retrenched workers and of staff representatives.

Technology and innovation are essential for overall
development in three important ways:
• Technology has a public goods dimension:
• Technology, innovation to address sustainable
development goals
• Science education, access to knowledge and
implications for tertiary education
• STI and key challenges
– agriculture and food security
– health and access to medicines
– Access to energy
Technology and innovation are essential for overall
development in three important ways (contd):
• Technology and innovation are essential for private
enterprise development:
• Building capabilities within countries at the enterprise
level
• Promoting technological change in small and large
enterprises
• Harnessing interactive learning
• ICTs and private sector-led development
Technology and innovation are essential for overall
development in three important ways (contd):
• Technology and innovation capacity have a critical
developmental dimension:
• Technological development is an essential
component of building productive capacity.
• Large technology and innovation gaps exist, and
developing countries particularly in Africa are often far
from technology frontiers.
• Economic catch-up requires narrowing these gaps
through the accumulation of knowledge and
innovation capacity, moving closer to the technology
frontiers.
A well-functioning innovation ecosystem:
- Focuses on technological change and capabilities building wherein
- Institutional frameworks that enable the creation of dynamic capabilities are critical for learning (national, sectoral).
- Coordination of policies and incentives is critical – education, R&D, science and technology policy, technology transfer, IPRs, - that are coordinated to promote interactive learning.
- Technological learning is not only dependent on access to technologies but also opportunities in trade and investment.
– The narrowing policy space in this context has implications for harnessing the developmental dimension of technological change.

Developing countries should pool technological resources to
address common challenges.
