Technological Cooperation for Sustainable Development Under the Belt and Road Initiative and the Sustainable Development Goals: Opportunities and Challenges
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) promotes sustainable development in the participating countries by facilitating technology transfer, talent development, and industrial upgrading. Technological cooperation under the BRI plays a crucial role in helping these countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, BRI cooperation also faces significant challenges, including geopolitical, economic, social, environmental, and legal risks. This paper reviews the current research on BRI technological cooperation, covering cooperation models, influencing factors, mechanisms, and the economic and social impacts of such cooperation. It examines both the opportunities and challenges involved and provides policy recommendations and action plans. This review offers valuable insights for researchers interested in BRI technological cooperation and contributes to advancing sustainable development in BRI countries.
