Technology Transfer• Supported by Ministry of Environment Japan	• Part of wider project that is evaluating theeffectiveness of low carbon technology indeveloping countries and is lead by the Institutefor Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) with
the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)	
• UNU-IAS’s role in this project is to examine therole of international cooperation in the area oflow carbon technology transfer.	
• Analyse international strategies of other developednations

Development• Transfer of equipment, skills, capacity and innovation
capacity for low carbon technologies will mean different
things in different locations and applications	• Technologies for fundamental human development	• Leading technologies for efficiency	
• Low carbon technologies for clean energy	

• Thinking in terms of the whole socio-technical system
will be useful to identify where action is required	11
