Abstract

Transfer of Environmental friendly Technology is crucial for international agreement on environmental policy and is perceived by many developing countries as a prerequisite for adherence to treaties. Yet many investing countries perceive technology transfer as a lengthy and costly process with potential risk to intellectual property rights. This paper is an attempt to infer such views need to be rethought, and that technology transfer instead needs to be understood by distinguishing between so-called “horizontal” transfer (including long-term sharing of technological expertise), and “vertical” transfer (in which technologies are relocated without sharing).The rural poor population and landless require environment friendly, resilient, sustainable livelihood systems that are versatile in the short term due to dependence on multiple products. According to Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism(CDM) projects result in long-term benefits related to the mitigation of climate change. This long-term requirement to keep carbon in storage may conflict with the short-term needs of the poor. Hence there is a need for examining the potential implications of the Land Use Change and Forestry (LUCF) projects for the rural livelihoods in India. The objective of this paper is to address both short and long term needs of the rural communities by adopting Environmentally Sound Technologies for achieving sustainable development.
