Improving technology transfer through national systems of innovation: climate relevant innovation-system builders (CRIBs)

David Ockwell, Rob Byrne · 2015 · Climate Policy

Summary. National systems of innovation can more effectively transfer climate technologies to developing countries than existing UNFCCC mechanisms. The authors propose establishing Climate Relevant Innovation-System Builders (CRIBs)—institutions that nurture climate-relevant innovation systems and build technological capabilities in developing nations. This approach, grounded in innovation studies and socio-technical transition literature, offers a transformative policy mechanism for climate-compatible technological change and development.
