The Eco-Patent Commons and Environmental Technology Transfer: Implications for Efforts to Tackle Climate Change
This article explores the potential role and pitfalls of corporate initiatives related to access to intellectual property in the transfer of environmentally friendly technology especially to developing countries. An initial investigation of how patents can affect environmentally beneficial technology transfer is forwarded, contrasting the approaches of the public and private sector in the encouragement of environmentally beneficial technology transfer. A wide variety of potential influences are analyzed, with specific focus being placed on the eco-patent commons project, the international encouragement of clean technologies, patent pools, open source systems, and enabled invention disclosures. This is analyzed in the context of the quest to encourage climate-friendly technologies.

The Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty Alleviation: Managing the Risks
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2009)
This paper will consider the distributional impact of climate change on developed and developing countries and, in particular, flag the potential for climate change policies to negate development objectives for the poorest countries. Developing countries, such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico, are essential participants to the success of any global campaign to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is in this context that future policies involving both mitigation and adaptive strategies must incorporate measures to assist with alleviating poverty and thus enhance the ability of developing countries address broader sustainability issues. The article concludes with some suggestions for managing the risks through institutional reform.
Climate Change Action ‘Got ‘tween the Lawful Sheets’
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2011)
Two of the things we have learned about the problems of mitigating climate change is that it is both interdisciplinary and international. Thus, although I will largely be writing from the disciplinary perspective of law, I hope it will not seem too academic to pay especially close attention to some issues of language, for many reasons, not the least of which is to bow in respect of interdisciplinarity. If various disciplines are to speak to one another, they must share some meanings from their specialty languages, and if the disciplines themselves are to emerge from ghettoes of specialization, they must invite others to their language and feel at ease to join the conversations of other disciplines.
Perceptions of Climate Risk in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) and Impacts on Climate Policy Choice
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2011)
This paper addresses how members of government institutions, local water advisory groups and the local rural communities studied construct the risk of climate change in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) of Alberta and Saskatchewan and how this impacts climate legislation and policy. A portion of the data obtained in a larger research project surrounding institutional adaptation to climate change is presented. Within the framework of vulnerability and adaptation of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), data obtained from qualitative interviews conducted in 2007–2008 is analysed in relation to the assessment of vulnerability and implicitly the construction of risk in relation to climate change.
Unbewältigte Probleme: Die Entsorgungswirtschaft in Südosteuropa steht noch am Anfang ihrer Entwicklung
© Deutscher Fachverlag (DFV) (10/2011)
Das Durchschneiden festlicher Bänder zur Einweihung von Infrastrukturanlagen gilt Bulgariens Ministerpräsident Boiko Borissov als höchste Form der Regierungskunst. Von der Opposition wird er dafür verspottet; sie behauptet, er eröffne jeweils von ihnen auf den Weg gebrachte Projekte. Es sind vor allem Straßenbauvorhaben, die der Regierungschef ihrer Bestimmung übergibt, zuweilen auch Kläranlagen, selten dagegen Anlagen zur Bewältigung von Bulgariens Müllproblem.
