Transcript Framework for improving the diffusion and implementation

Framework for implementation
of Article 4.5 of the convention:
perspectives from the Asia and
Pacific region
TERI, New Delhi
Objectives
• Improve adoption and diffusion of ESTs in
this region
• Elaborate on possible steps to implement
the proposed framework
• Promote international and regional
cooperation among Parties
Issues in the transfer of ESTs
• Lack of focus on capacity building needs of
developing countries
• Neglected role of private sector in the transfer
of ESTs
• Inadequate policies and legal framework
• Unavailability of information regarding ESTs
• Lack of initiatives to transfer publicly held
technologies
Interventions to enhance the
effectiveness of technology transfer
• Necessity to build indigenous capacity
• Focus on information dissemination with a view
to facilitate technological change
• Mechanisms at the national and global level to
facilitate technology transfer
• Financial packages which use public financing to
leverage private sector investment in ESTs
• Policy initiatives to support the adoption of ESTs
Key elements of the framework
• Identify country priorities
• Evaluate present technological status and
define technology needs
• Assess various technological options
• Develop an ITP (integrated technology
programme)
• Financing mechanisms
• Assessment for feedback
Activities
Scoping activities:
Identify country priority areas for mitigation and
adaptation
Study the present technological status & identify
technology needs in prioritized sector
Assess various technological options with regard to
socio-economic cost benefit analysis and market
protential

Projects
Broad project types under the ITP
• Technology identification
• Capacity building
• Technology procurement
Activities under the ITP
• Identify various sources of ESTs
• Advise the government on policy issues to
create an enabling environment
• Formulate a blueprint for capacity building in
prioritized sectors
• Enable the adaptation of technologies
Activities under the ITP (contd.)
• Create an information dissemination
framework
• Develop projects for funding and coordinate
with FCCC Secretariat
• Assess various programmes/projects and
financial mechanisms
Policy measures
Annex I countries (supply side):
• Provide incentives to encourage private sector
investment in non-Annex I countries
• Encourage transfer of publicly held technologies
• Help the developing countries through various
steps in the framework
• Coordinate bilateral efforts under the national
ITP of host countries
Policy measures (contd.)
Non-Annex I countries:
• Encourage the private sector participation
• Develop a sound legal framework to encourage
adoption and diffusion of ESTs
• Facilitate the transfer of publicly held technologies
• Promote joint technology development
programmes
• Policy initiatives to create long-term market
development for ESTs
