Accelerating Clean Energy Technology Research, Development, - Lessons from Non-energy Sectors

Klappentext As part of the World Bank's Working Paper series, this book uses four case studies to examine the lack of funding to investigate global climate changes despite well-publicized investments. This research shows how a partnership between public and private organizations can yield successful results when it comes to developing new technologies, and how financial barriers have been broken down by such organizations as the Human Genome Project and the Advanced Market Commitments for Vaccines. Written for policymakers in the energy industry, these studies also explore the lack of consensus on global warming, and how that affects the funding process.
