Industrial and energy technologies in developing countries are typically inefficient and polluting. Although the technological know-how to solve these problems is well-established throughout the industrialized world, its application in less developed regions is proceeding at a snail's pace. Missing Links examines in detail the impediments to the international diffusion of environmentally superior technologies and recommends new public and private sector initiatives to speed the process. The outgrowth of a collaborative effort by expert panels in the United States and Japan, this report brings together a wide range of constructive ideas. The authors propose a leading role for multinational companies and international business associations in diffusing cleaner technologies, and they stress the importance of international financial and technical cooperation to integrate such technologies into developing-country markets. 1994 / 52 pages |
