Advancing International Green Technology Cooperation: A Comprehensive Framework Approach

This research delves into the complexities of green technology cooperation, focusing on advancing sustainable development while addressing the urgent challenges of climate change. It aims to lay the foundation for identifying the components necessary to develop an index for green technology transfer through international cooperation. This index will help mitigate climate change and ensure alignment with the latest technological advancements by promoting international green technology cooperation. To achieve this objective, the study develops a conceptual framework to bridge critical gaps in existing literature, introducing a novel metric, the Green Technology Cooperation Index (GTCI). The GTCI serves as a comprehensive tool for evaluating the effectiveness of international cooperation, distinct from the previous studies, by focusing on technological collaboration within its environmental and economic context. Through a multifaceted analysis, this study examines components within the framework for assessing and enhancing global cooperation in green technology. The research elaborates on the concept of green technology cooperation, outlining the criteria and norms for a country’s readiness in collaborative efforts and effective implementation. The findings indicate that the GTCI components include green sustainability, green technology, economy and society, and governance and policy, which are considered the four pillars of the conceptual framework. This focus is driven by the overarching goals of fostering global harmony and improving the quality of life on our planet through technology transfer. Ultimately, this study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of technology transfer, a pivotal aspect of green technology cooperation. The insights gained from this research can inform policymakers, businesses, and organizations, guiding them in making informed decisions that promote sustainable economic growth at the national level.
