Abstract

The challenge posed by sustainable development is becoming increasingly urgent from a global perspective. The question raised is how economic growth in transforming and newly industrializing countries can be designed in such a way that it does not undermine the achievement of ecological sustainability goals. At the same time, sustainable innovations can also play an important role for the economic and technological development of these countries. In addition, the prospect of establishing lead markets for sustainability technologies adds an additional incentive for emerging economies to move toward sustainability technologies.
