(e) Focus on technology support

(f) Role of the Coordinating Unit on Technology Support

UNEP work in the field of technology support will be promoted and enhanced.

Technology support in the area of environmental assessment and early warning will be strengthened to ensure that environmental reporting is based on the best available data and information.

3. Technological development

Recognizing that international support can help developing countries to benefit from technological advances and can enhance their productive capacity,

Recognizing that international support can help developing countries to benefit from technological advances and can enhance their productive capacity,

Focal points for the Bali Strategic Plan have been created in the Division of Environmental Policy Implementation (capacity building) and the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (technology transfer).

Emphasizing the importance of international support to developing countries to enable them to benefit from technological advances and to enhance their productive capacity,

UNEP work in technology support and industry has received additional impetus with the development of the Bali Strategic Plan.

Emphasizing the importance of international support to developing countries to enable them to benefit from technological advances and to enhance their productive capacity,

Technology support was important not only for cleaner production and sustainable consumption, but also for viable and sustainable economic growth.

During the process through which the Plan was developed, UNEP prepared an analysis of its activities in technology support and capacity building.

II. INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE . 7 12 3

How do we manage this technological change?

And what changed? Technological innovation.

Expansion of UNEP work on developing new financial products to support technology transfer will be prioritized South South cooperation has a key role to play in technology support, developing more horizontal linkages and partnerships between Governments and the private sector.

E. Targeted training and technology support programmes

It focuses the technology support and capacity building currently being carried out by UNEP in line with activities in function of well defined country priorities and needs.

Most technology transfer take place as a business to business (B2B) process, requiring UNEP to consider its links, on one hand, with the developers, suppliers and technology recipients of environmentally sound technologies, and our opportunities and niches for supporting the technology transfer process Defining the niche and value added areas of UNEP in providing technology support for small and medium sized enterprises will be of particular usefulness to developing countries.

Technological progress will be incremental rather than revolutionary.

But technological innovation alone is unlikely to be sufficient.

(c) Capacity building and technology support database

But all kinds of breakthroughs in science and the development of technology. In the late 1700s and 1800s.

1858 was a year of great technological advancement in the West.

The high stakes that national economies have in technological innovation could encourage a closer scrutiny of the nature and direction of technological change.

C. Facilitation of technological cooperation through financial assistance

So, as we move forward into this technological future,

The Coordinating Unit on Technology Support in the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics and, in particular the Division's International Environmental Technology Centre, will develop the implementation strategy in consultation with other divisions.

We recognize that science and technology play a critical role in the achievement of the development goals and that international support is essential for enabling developing countries to benefit from technological advancements.

As technology advances, it has become more and more difficult to escape it.

Money brings technological regeneration as well as security.

(i) The implications of technological change for employment and skills

60. Technological change is a major factor in the employment of women.

Stressing the importance of working closely with the Bali Strategic Plan for Technology Support and Capacity Building as well as other international processes so as to promote a coherent framework for technical assistance,

Special attention will be paid to the need for and potential of technology support to small and medium sized enterprises, to developing new financial products to support technology transfer, and promoting South South cooperation in the field of environmentally sound technologies.

The social agenda and the technology agenda are not independent of each other.

Technological innovation and increased energy efficiency have considerable potential.

But technological progress is now eating up the better jobs, too.
