The workshop links a discussion of results from the 2008 project “International Support for Domestic Climate Policy” (ISDCP) with presentations and comparisons of recent concepts for technology cooperation. The workshop will result in a report on technology linkages, and refine the research agenda for the 6 month project International Support for Domestic Action (ISDA) for 2009.
