Trade and Climate Change. Triggers or Barriers for Climate Friendly Technology Transfer and Development?
Nils Meyer-Ohlendorf / Christiane Gerstetter
To address climate change and the end of fossil fuels successfully, major investments in low carbon technology will be needed to restructure economies to low carbon economies, This process of technological innovation or dissemination of low carbon technologies will largely depend on international trade. This Occasional Paper focuses on how the multilateral trading system can favor or impede the pursuit of climate change goals. It looks at barriers to technology transfer such as intellectual property rights and analyzes the interests of development and industrialized countries behind them. Meyer-Ohlendorf and Gerstetter explore the tensions behind border adjustment measures between “green protectionism” and fears of “carbon leakage.” The authors give practicable policy options to foster technology transfer in a highly complex policy field. .
