Parties split on where to discuss technology issues


Parties were split on how to enhance action on technology development and transfer to support mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. 

Some parties, mainly Annex I, want the issue of intellectual property in particular pushed to fora other than bodies under the UNFCCC – institutions such as the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the World Trade Organsiation (WTO).
Developing countries however want technology and its related issues addressed under the AWG-LCA and other UNFCCC bodies.

AWG-LCA contact group, chair Aysar Tayeb of Saudi Arabia also underscored this sharp divide in his final report to the group on May 24, 2012.
