A Synthesis of Country Submissions to the UNFCCC on Technology

The document maps the positions of various UNFCCC Parties across the innovation lifecycle—from research and development to commercial deployment—to facilitate negotiations on the Bali Action Plan. It highlights a range of proposed mechanisms, including Multilateral Technology Funds, venture capital for demonstrations, and collaborative R&D targets, such as doubling energy-related RD&D globally by 2012.

• The document identifies that achieving a shared understanding of the structure and goals of technology and financial support is a necessary precursor to securing funding at the required scale for the international climate regime.
• Proposed financial and institutional mechanisms for technology deployment include the creation of a Multilateral Clean Technology Fund (MCTF), a Multilateral Technology Acquisition Fund (MTAF) to cover incremental costs and IPR licensing, and the use of venture capital to leverage private markets for emerging technologies.
• Specific targets for research and development include a commitment to double energy-related RD&D globally by 2012 and quadruple it by 2020.
