Climate Change Mitigation Solutions
In collaboration with the United Nations Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) and the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ARST), this edition showcases actionable climate change mitigation technologies aimed at reducing emissions and advancing sustainable practices. The book seeks to bridge the gap between the critical need for climate mitigation solutions and their practical implementation across developed as well as developing countries.
The book will present a comprehensive set of solutions, all connected to the WIPO GREEN Database of Needs and Green Technologies. The database showcases a wider array of solutions and facilitates direct contact with technology proprietors. Additionally, the Green Technology Book serves as an important matchmaking tool for fostering connections and partnerships in the field.
Last year, the Green Technology Book on Climate Adaptation was released at Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt, at the COP 27. Both books are “living publications” building on the work of the WIPO GREEN platform, which connects green technology providers from around the world with people seeking environmentally friendly solutions.
