UNU-UN Midday Forum: Experiences in Cleaner Production and Challenges for Clean Technology Transfer – what has been successful, what has not”

Time: 1:15 pm- 2:30 pm, 10 September, 2008

Venue: Conference room 6, UN Headquarters, New York

 

The first UNU-UN Midday Forum 2008-2009, in collaboration with UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), is entitled “Experiences in Cleaner Production and Challenges for Clean Technology Transfer – what has been successful, what has not.”

The transfer of cleaner technologies to developing countries is essential if they hope to leapfrog to more sustainable patterns of production and consumption -- a key aim of the UN’s Marrakech Process on sustainability.

The meeting will consider findings on clean technology transfer from an evaluation of UNIDO’s National Cleaner Production Centers. Included will be an assessment of the impact of the clean production agenda on business and government, training and capacity building, and achieving implementation of technology options. It will also discuss how the sustainable consumption and production agenda is driving clean technology transfer through greening of supply chains and responsible investment initiatives. Finally, the forum will discuss opportunities for flexibility in the WTO TRIPS agreement and climate-change-related technology transfer to developing countries.

Primary presenter: Mr. Rene Van Berkel, UNIDO

Discussants: Mr. Mohan Peck, DESA/DSD

Mr. Matt Littleton, Harvard University
