Enhancing Cybersecurity in Climate Technology Transfer: The Interaction of Environmental Law with Digital Security

Abstract

Abstract The Climate Change Convention, together with developed and developing countries, is taking measures to be more effective in combating climate change with the gear of modern methods and innovations. However, the technology mechanism has launched a series of initiatives aimed at exploring the potential of artificial intelligence to accelerate and scale up groundbreaking climate solutions, both in mitigation and adaptation efforts. To address the research questions, a comprehensive literature review is conducted to identify existing gaps and establish a foundational understanding of the legal and cybersecurity landscape in climate technology transfer. Different countries and organizations may adopt disparate cybersecurity measures, making it challenging to ensure a cohesive and standardized approach to safeguarding climate-related technologies. This fragmentation could result in inefficiencies, confusion, and a lack of interoperability. The urgency for a holistic and adaptive approach at the confluence of environmental law and digital security, the evolution of legal frameworks, the fortification of cybersecurity measures, and the ethical dimensions of technology transfer are integral components of a resilient foundation for a sustainable and secure future in climate technology exchange.
