An Emerging Revolution
Summary
The document analyzes China's policies to prioritize, fund, and deploy clean technology R&D and innovation. It argues that the pace of technological innovation depends on effective domestic policies, which are especially critical for major developing countries with accelerating emissions and limited R&D infrastructure. The paper aims to demonstrate how governments in developing nations can craft technology policies to leverage future international climate financing.
Key insights
- The ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through technology deployment depends on the direction and pace of innovation; the former requires a technology-neutral energy policy approach, while the latter requires effective domestic policies to stimulate research and innovation.
- China is implementing comprehensive policies to prioritize, fund, and deploy clean technology R&D and innovation with the goal of becoming a global power in science and technology.
