Abstract: Abstract Over the past decades, countries in the Asia-Pacific region have been achieving economic growth through innovation. Along with economic expansion, human mobility has become a worldwide phenomenon. At the same time, common global problems persist, such as environmental and energy challenges and natural disasters. Moreover, as globalization and regional economic development have advanced, these problems have increased. Against this backdrop, accelerating innovation in environmental technologies can be a promising means of achieving sustainable development. While climate change effects are increasingly challenging the planet, the overall world’s creation of new technologies is highly concentrated among the top inventor countries.
