First Technical Paper on Terms of transfer of technology and know how.

FCCC TP 1997 1 Development and transfer of technologies Terms of transfer of technology and know how.

This inventory should also include an elaboration of the terms under which transfers of such technologies and know how could take place (FCCC CP 1995 7 Add.1).

(b) Provision of material, equipment and technologies, on concessional terms, to Annex III countries

If yes, please outline the legal conditions pertaining to their use.

These activities included reports on non Annex II activities, terms of transfer, adaptation technologies, technology information centres and networks and a survey of the technology needs of developing countries.

During the 1970s, the Committee focused on issues related to the transfer of technology, including terms and conditions for such transfer, reflecting a major preoccupation of developing countries with improving access to foreign technology and ways and means of acquiring it at fairer prices and on fairer conditions.

Technological capacity building, which is an important condition for effective technology transfer, would include knowledge and skills that firms need in order to acquire, assimilate, use, adapt, change and create technology.See UNCTAD, Fostering Technological Dynamism Review of the Literature, Fostering Technological Dynamism evolution of thought on technological development process and competitiveness , United Nations publication, Sales No. E.95.II.021.

Technical Annex A

Technical Annex B

It welcomed the activities underway to prepare reports on the terms of transfer, adaptation technologies, technology information centers and networks and on the technology transfer activities supported by the Parties, in particular Annex II Parties.

UNU IAS UNU Institute of Advanced Studies

For our part, we shall create the necessary technical conditions for archival access.

Recognizing that information technologies are important requisites for planning, development and decision making in science and technology, and recognizing also their far reaching implications for society,

The secretariat has used the roster to obtain assistance with three reports, that is, on adaptation technologies, terms of transfer of technology and know how, and technology information centres and networks.

3 The papers on which the presentations were based are available at www.cifor.org.

Two treaty bodies regularly issue documents compiling their recommendations for technical cooperation.1

This transfer of technologies requires favourable background conditions, in particular effective financing mechanisms and appropriate technical support facilities.

Content of the technical paper

Conclusions of the technical paper

Fourth, technical assistance was needed to facilitate diversification, but it should not be a substitute for more favourable market access conditions, external capital and technology.

Information and communication technology resources are vital for effective outreach

Crystallization of substances of scientific and technical importance under microgravity conditions.

The technical paper also identifies two types of decisions related to technologies.

At its fifth session, the SBSTA took note of activities undertaken by the secretariat to prepare reports on topics, such as adaptation technologies, the terms of transfer of technology and know how and technology information centers.

The developing countries should have access to those technologies on preferential terms in order to promote global sustainability.

Joint implementation could be used as an instrument to allow technology transfer to take place on a more advantageous basis.

To call on the international community to promote the transfer of technologies on preferential terms, including new and emerging technologies to adopt policies and programmes with a view to assisting developing countries take advantage of technology in their pursuit of development, through inter alia, technical cooperation and the building of scientific and technological capacity.

Describe briefly the transfer of environmentally sound technology and know how including where appropriate the type of technology, terms, education, capacity building etc.

Development and transfer of technology, particularly environmentally sound technology, including on non commercial and preferential terms, for exploiting critical energy resources

Bearing in mind that this is the initial paper on terms of transfer and know how, the following is a summary of the main points

Technology transfer, which was of crucial importance for the developing countries, should focus on the building of their endogenous capacity, in order to facilitate the optimal transferability of technology, its adequate absorption and its practical applicability.

The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (General Assembly resolution 55 25, annex I) contains several technical assistance provisions, in particular in articles 29 (Training and technical assistance) and 30 (Other measures implementation of the Convention through economic development and technical assistance).

This note provides a status report on four of the above topics, namely, an initial paper on terms of transfer, activities underway to develop a series of papers on adaptation technologies, activities related to technology centers and networks and the technology inventory.

Mr. Vladu noted that technological approaches to adaptation include both hard technologies such as capital goods and hardware, as well as soft technologies such as knowledge of methods and techniques which enable hard technologies to be applied.

This implies, in particular, very elaborate growth techniques and optimized growth conditions.

To that end, it was necessary to promote the transfer of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on concessional terms.

So were the international community apos s financial support and the transfer of technology on preferential terms.

This creates the conditions for the beneficial use of ICTs to meet development goals.

Technical Annex B Minefield Marking

Multilateral funding was effective in reaching the most vulnerable groups, building national capacities and transferring environmentally sound technologies on favourable terms.

Acquiring technological capability, especially in new technologies such as information and communication technologies, was a sine qua non for effective integration into the international economic system and for enhancing competitiveness.
