Abstract

Environmental protection requires the participation and cooperation of most countries because the non-cooperation of some countries causes the efforts of others to fail; so the content of environmental agreements should persuade such countries to accept and implement the obligations. Commitment to transfer green technologies in most environmental agreements has long been envisaged in different terms, and it aims to help states parties, especially developing ones, to protect and reach a level of environmental protection that no longer uses polluting and unstable industrial methods. Undoubtedly, the technology transfer system envisaged in a collective environmental agreement and, more importantly, the mechanisms for its implementation are effective to achieve these goals. The present article examines the evolution of green technology transfer and the role of the conference of parties in creating and improving transfer mechanisms. The finding of the paper is that the Conference of the Parties to the Environmental Treaties has led to the evolution, sustainability, and dynamism of the technology transfer regime through the establishment of financial, executive, and regulatory mechanisms and institutions as implementing the provisions of the treaty on the transfer of green technology.
