A proposal to encourage growth.
This debate article proposes revision of the current
patent system to provide increased green incentives for inventors
and businesses. The aim of this initiative is to drive and
accelerate climate-friendly innovation and
growth.
More and more people have come to regard climate change as the
great challange of our time - which is a positive. Is is, however,
easy to become pessimistic at the lack of progress being made. Many
nations are having significant difficulty reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and meeting climate targets. There is often a sense of
doom, exacerbated by the appearance of ominous headlines in the
media following reports of various UN agencies and comments of
António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, when he said
that 2021 would be a "make or break year" in
relation to tackling the climate crisis, and urged policymakers
around the world to "stop talking and start
acting."
