DEVELOPMENT & TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGIES

On 25 February, the Chair noted the SBI’s intention to discuss the issue of development and transfer of technology on Thursday, 27 February, and also highlighted the secretariat’s progress report on the issue (FCCC/SB/1997/1). The Chair proposed that the SBI defer consideration of the issue to the SBSTA and allow the SBSTA to refer matters to the SBI when appropriate. On 28 February, the SBI accepted conclusions taking note of the workshop on technology transfer. The SBI decided to defer the consideration of this issue and to request the SBSTA to refer relevant issues as necessary.
