Call for action on climate finance, international technology transfer, and capacity building is India’s central agenda at COP 27 and has been our focus at past COPs as well. So far, there is some information and discussion and certain action points on climate finance; however, there is little clarity with respect to technology transfer mechanisms and capacity building.
India needs to map the available technologies, assess the strengths and weaknesses of domestic value chains, and evaluate the IPR regime through the lens of sustainable development. Such an exercise will be crucial to identify our leverage points and enable a more structured debate around technology transfer.
