Abstract The progress of international climate technology transfer(CTT),an essential response to climate change,has been inadequate.CTT is facing a dilemma in intellectual property rights(IPRs).The impact of IPRs on CTT remains unclear,and negotiations on IPRs have reached an impasse among different national camps.The dilemma can be attributed to the following four factors:the complexities arising from the inherent characteristics of IPRs and climate technologies;the conflicts between developed and developing countries due to their differing stages of technological development;the competition and game-playing of national camps;and the externalization of the interests of internal private groups,which manifests as developed countries' upholding of the existing international IPRs system which prioritizes the protection of IPRs over technology transfer.To resolve this dilemma,any response plan entails at least three key elements,namely,information on the supply and demand of climate technologies,incentives for developers to facilitate technology transfer,and capacity-building for technology recipients.Therefore,it is essential to re-conceptualize the process of CTT from the perspective of collaboration and innovation,shifting from confrontation to cooperation,and establishing a joint R&D mechanism that promotes the sharing of IPRs.In the joint research and development of clean energy between China and the US,the IPRs sharing system centered around the Technology Management Plan is conducive to CTT.Moreover,broader multilateral technology-sharing programs will enhance humanity's capacity to cope with climate change.
