Nov , GenevaPost Kyoto Protocal and Technology Transfer4 China’s position on Bali roadmap Regarding technology transfer China hopes that since the road map has prescribed, developed countries will continue to take the lead in emission reduction beyond 2012, and provide financial, technological, adaptive and capacity- building assistance to developing countries to help them enhance their capability in mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Nov , GenevaPost Kyoto Protocal and Technology Transfer5 China recent white paper on climate change Regarding technology transfer China issued the white paper on October 29, China will insist in the principle of response to climate change by technology innovation and transfer with developed countries’ responsibility to implement their promise of transferring technology for developing countries. China will promote R&D on technology for response to climate change. China will promote technology transfer under the Framework of Convention and Protocol.

Nov , GenevaPost Kyoto Protocal and Technology Transfer8 Art. 4.5 of Convention The developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II shall take all practicable steps to promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies and know-how to other Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to enable them to implement the provisions of the Convention. In this process, the developed country Parties shall support the development and enhancement of endogenous capacities and technologies of developing country Parties. Other Parties and organizations in a position to do so may also assist in facilitating the transfer of such technologies.

Nov , GenevaPost Kyoto Protocal and Technology Transfer9 Art. 10c of Kyoto Protocol Cooperate in the promotion of effective modalities for the development, application and diffusion of, and take all practicable steps to promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies, know-how, practices and processes pertinent to climate change, in particular to developing countries, including the formulation of policies and programmes for the effective transfer of environmentally sound technologies that are publicly owned or in the public domain and the creation of an enabling environment for the private sector, to promote and enhance the transfer of, and access to, environmentally sound technologies.
