UK-India Collaboration to identify the barriers to the transfer of low carbon energy technology
At Gleneagles in July 2005, the G8 highlighted the importance of strengthening technology cooperation to develop low carbon energy options. Many developing countries pressed for a new approach to international cooperation in the area of clean energy technologies. As a follow-up to this, the UK Government and the GoI have decided to collaborate on a study to assess the barriers to the transfer of low carbon energy technology between developed and developing countries.
Aim of the DEFRA sponsored study is to facilitate technological co-operation between developed and developing countries. It is envisaged that the study will help to inform intergovernmental discussions about the development and transfer of low carbon energy technologies. Of particular importance are discussions under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Gleneagles Dialogue on climate change, clean energy and sustainable development and climate change.
This project which is being carried out by the Sussex Energy Group (SPRU, University of Sussex, UK), TERI, New Delhi and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS, University of Sussex, UK) adopts an innovative approach to the study of the barriers to transfer of low carbon technologies to developing countries.
