Recalling the relevant provisions of chapter 34 of Agenda 21 on transfer of environmentally sound technology, cooperation and capacity building,

However, Agenda 21 had underscored the need for the transfer of technology although this seemed to have been completely forgotten.

Achieving the MDGs, therefore, requires a clear political commitment to make science and technology top priorities in the national development agenda.

The Doha development agenda must accord stable and predictable market access to all least developed countries' products, technology transfer and human resources development.

The transfer of environmentally sound technology on favourable terms to developing countries was also crucial if the Agenda 21 objectives were to be achieved.

Also in the context of Agenda 21, UNCTAD contributes on a regular basis to DPCSD in the areas of financial resources and technology transfer.

An agenda for action could deal with all generic issues related to enhancing productive capacities in trade, technology and investment flows and exchange of experience.
