INSIGHT, Spring '96 Edition
Technology Options for the Global Climate Change
"Currently available energy and environmental technologies can only
be expected to provide a partial solution to the longer-term concerns
about global climate change. The development and deployment of new and
improved technologies will be essential if atmospheric concentrations of
greenhouse gases are to be reduced significantly." In the light of
this challenge, as postscripted on their new Scoping Study, the
International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) have made a broad-based assessment of
technology options and development needs, aiming to assist governments and
international organizations in their efforts to respond to global climate
change challenges. The report, of course, does not provide any handy,
short-term solutions; its principal purpose is rather to establish a basis
for a new dialogue, among OECD member countries and between industrialised
and developing countries, on technology development action needed to
respond to global climate change concerns.
