Chapter V Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation

ernance. Under the “Common But Differentiated Responsibilities” principle of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), developed countries have
the obligation to provide financial and technological support to developing countries to help
them meet emission reduction targets. Through technology transfer, developed countries can
fulfill their international commitments and promote fairness and inclusivity in global climate
governance. For example, the European Union has provided clean energy technology support
to developing countries in Africa and Asia through its “Horizon 2020” program to assist their
low-carbon transitions.
(II) The Importance of Capacity Building
Capacity building refers to enhancing the technical and managerial capabilities of de-
veloping countries in addressing climate change through training, education, and infrastruc-
ture development. The importance of capacity building is reflected in the following aspects:
【1】 Improving the efficiency of technology application
Technology transfer involves not only introducing advanced technologies to develop-
ing countries but also improving the efficiency of technology application through capacity
building. For example, developing countries need to enhance the technical capabilities of
engineers and managers through training and education to ensure effective application of
advanced technologies. Additionally, developing countries must strengthen infrastructure de-
velopment to provide necessary support for technology implementation. For instance, India
has improved grid integration efficiency for solar and wind power generation by constructing
power transmission networks and smart grids, facilitating widespread adoption of clean en-
ergy.
2. Enhancing Independent Innovation Capability
Capacity building not only helps developing countries effectively apply advanced tech-
nologies but also strengthens their independent innovation capabilities. Through training and
education, developing countries can cultivate high-quality technical talents to drive local
technology research and innovation. For example, China has established National Key Lab-
oratories and Technology Innovation Centers to nurture high-level scientific research talents,
promoting the development and application of indigenous clean energy technologies.
3. Promoting Sustainable Development
Capacity building is a crucial means to achieve sustainable development. Through
capacity building, developing countries can enhance their comprehensive capabilities in
addressing climate change, environmental protection, and economic development, promot-
ing coordinated progress in economy, society, and environment. For example, Brazil has
improved its technical capabilities in forest conservation and ecological restoration through
capacity building, facilitating sustainable management of the Amazon rainforest.
(3) Challenges of Technology Transfer and Capacity Building
Although technology transfer and capacity building play significant roles in addressing
climate change, their implementation still faces numerous challenges.
