Summary:Technology issues have always been at the forefront of the global climate change debate. We need nothing short of a technology revolution to deal with climate change. However, if we look over the horizon, there does not appear to be enough of a sense of urgency being exhibited when it comes to technology, either internationally or at the country level. Trade and investment frameworks will play a major role in enabling a critical framework for private-sector investment. As this chapter will highlight, private-sector views emerging from South Asia in the course of World Bank consultations make clear that governments need to respond not only in terms of attractive and conducive policies, but also effective and meaningful implementation on the ground.
