The rich world should commit to financing a massive program of technology development – renewable energy, fuel-efficient cars, and green buildings – and to a program of technology transfer to developing countries. Such a commitment would also give crucial confidence to poor countries that climate-change control will not become a barrier to long-term economic development.
现在正在进行中的气候变化谈判可以是一个良好开端。富裕国家应承诺资助一个庞大的技术开发计划－可再生能源，燃料效率高的汽车以及绿色建筑物－以及承诺向发展中国家转让技术的计划。这一承诺也可以给贫穷国家至关重要的信心，使他们相信控制气候变化不会成为长期经济发展的障碍。
