TRANSFER OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGY AND UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Öz

ABSTRACT

Today, promoting clean technology and its transfer into developing countries deemed as the best solution for the climate change battle. Technology and its transfer includes more than buying and selling a new product it also includes learning skills and adapting this new technology to local conditions. Many international conferences and multilateral environmental agreements have the unified purpose of increasing usage, development of clean technology.  The main ones include the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Hereinafter UNFCC) the Agreement on Trade- Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and World Intellectual Property Organizations. This article only focuses on the UNFCCC and their conference specifically include transfer of technology debates and criticizes these meetings and provides suggestions to promote transfer of technology.

Cağımızın en acil çözülmesi gereken sorunu olan iklim değişikliğine karşı en etkili cözümün gwlişmiş ülkelerden gelişmememiş yada gelişmekte olan ülkelere  teknoloji ve teknoloji transferi olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Teknoloji ve transferi yeni bir ürünün alınıp satılmasından daha geniş bir kavramdır. Bu kavramlar günümüzde öğrenme yöntemlerini ve bu yeni teknolojilerin yerel koşullara adapte edilmesini  geliştimesini üretilmesini ve insan gücü eğitimini de kapsar. Bir çok uluslarası konferans ve uluslarası çevre anlaşması  teknoloji ve teknoloji transferini desteklemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Uluslarası teknoloji transferindeki en önemli rolü Dünya Fikri Haklar Örgütü, Dünya Ticaret Orgütünün TRIPS Anlaşması ve Birleşmiş Milletler İklim Değişikligi Anlaşması ( UNFCCC) oynamaktadır. Bu makale sadece UNFCCC ve onun toplantı ve protokollerindeki temiz teknoloji transferiyle ilgili hükümleri ve tartışmaları incelemekte  ve sonuç bölümünde teknoloji transferini arttırmak için öneriler sunmaktadır.
