Abstract

The transfer of environmentally sound technologies has always been the focus of controversy to combat global climate change. The essence of the transfer of environmentally sound technologies is the coordination of interests among regions, with the aim of mitigating and adapting to global climate change. The realization of environmentally sound technology transfer mainly reflects the game between control and freedom, the coordination of public interests and private interests, and the equilibrium theory of supply and demand. Faced with the current situation of weak laws on the transfer of environmentally sound technologies, it is suggested that China needs to establish and improve the relevant legal system from the four dimensions of technology transfer law, environmental law, intellectual property law, and investment law, improve the legal system to realize the transfer of environmentally sound technology, and strengthen the connection between China’s laws and relevant international law rules. At the same time, in order to improve the management mechanism of environmentally sound technology transfer, it is suggested that China should propose legal measures to optimize the institutional system of environmentally sound technology transfer from three dimensions, namely the state, social organizations, and individuals, and form a governance model of multi-actor cooperative management to promote the transfer of environmentally sound technology between China and other countries to achieve the goal of coping with climate change and to protect the global environment.
