| Abstract: | Transferring appropriate environmentally sound technologies (EST) and ensuring their effective implementation can help arrest the sharp growth in the greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries (DC). However, past experiences indicate that, to be successful, the technologies being transferred have to match certain requirements of the DC. For example, the technologies should be relevant to the local needs of the DC, and sufficient expertise should be made available in the local market to maintain the technology. Key stakeholders in DC and important criteria are discussed briefly in the paper. The authors then propose a multi- criteria model, based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), for the matching process. |
