This workshop explored to what extent green technology cooperation with emerging economies can achieve a “triple-win” – accelerating climate change mitigation; creating jobs and capabilities in partner countries; and strengthening the competitiveness of the German economy – and where policy trade-offs exist. On that basis, conclusions for green technology cooperation will be drawn.

The workshop brought together German policy-makers, implementers and international researchers to (a) explore new formats for international collaboration that build on Germany’s strength in green technologies; and (b) sharpen the focus and increase the policy relevance of the ongoing research programme of the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) on green technologies.
