Summary
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) for green technologies have received relatively little attention in contrast with PPPs in areas such as public health. In this regard, the chapter outlines how the regimes governing climate change and sustainable development are increasingly seeking to enhance the contribution of PPPs to global efforts to accelerate innovation and diffusion of green technologies. The chapter examines a number of PPPs at the multilateral level (WIPO GREEN) and at the bilateral level (the US-China Clean Energy Research Center) showing how they approach IP in a pragmatic manner that stands in contrast to the stalemate which has characterised the debate on intellectual property rights and green technologies at the international level. Given that these PPPs tend to be still at an early stage in their development, the importance of evaluation and adaptation over time is highlighted to ensure theyare effective and impactful in a dynamic global landscape where the pace of innovation is fast.
