ABSTRACT
Achieving environmental goals frequently requires the utilization of specific technology; for instance pollution control technology, low emission technology, or energy efficient technology. As many of these environmental technologies originate in the industrialized world but must be implemented in the developing world in order to achieve global environmental goals, such technology must be transferred from the North to the South. It is this phenomenon that dominates the discussions of technology transfer in the global environmental governance literature, although the concept of “South-South” technology transfer is also gaining interest as such opportunities increase.
