Abstract: While Climate change is a global phenomenon, low- and middle-income income countries (LMIC) experience particularly great risks posed by the adverse effects of global warming. Prior research shows that most climate change adaptation technologies (CCAT) are invented in high-income countries (HIC) with few studies analysing the contributions made by LMIC inventors to the development of CCAT technologies.
