Technological Competences in Sustainability Technologies in the BRICS Countries

Chapter 14 in The Rise of Technological Power in the South, 2010, pp 281-299 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: 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.
