Abstract
This article discusses various aspects of international technology collaboration and transfer before discussing technology in the climate negotiations themselves. While ‘technology agreements’ alone could not be expected to deliver the fundamental changes in energy production and use necessary in order to achieve the Convention's objective, they could help in goading developing countries into mitigation action. Other options to speed the diffusion of climate-friendly technologies are considered, although it is unclear whether international climate negotiations offer the best forum. Finally, technology issues should not divert attention from the value of establishing a global emissions trading regime through various options, as this might be a powerful carrier for climate-friendly technologies.
