Governing the Innovation of Emerging Technologies - Policy Coordination in Innovation Systems

大多数减轻人类对环境影响的努力都遇到了一个根本问题：中期收益和长期利益之间的权衡。这一点在能源问题上尤其明显--能源是现代经济的命脉。普遍的全球经济和社会愿望增加了对可靠能源的需求，但也加剧了气候、资源和景观发生不可逆转变化的风险。因此，在不损害当前经济、社会和政治目标的情况下实现可持续性的挑战是这一领域有效决策的核心。然而，单靠环境和能源政策无法平衡这种权衡，因为这些政策难以提供即时收益的好处，因此无法激励人们重新思考（经济）进程。相反，关键在于扶持和促进可持续能源技术的创新，既有利于眼前的经济目标，也有利于环境-减少（或消除）负面的外部性。为此，该项目旨在寻找、分析、解释、评估和提出可持续能源技术创新政策的成功战略，重点关注新兴市场经济体在这一领域面临的特殊挑战。可持续创新政策/能源政策

Most efforts to mitigate the human impact on the environment stumble across one fundamental problem: the trade-off between intermediate gains and long-term benefits. This comes to light particularly concerning energy - the lifeblood of modern economies. The prevalent global economic and social aspirations increase the demand for reliable energy, yet also intensify the risk of irreversible changes to climate, resources, and landscapes. Hence, the challenge to achieve sustainability without vitiating immediate economic, social, and political goals is central to effective policy making in this field. However, environmental and energy policies alone cannot balance this trade-off, because such policies struggle to provide the benefit of immediate gains and therefore cannot incentivise a re-thinking of (economic) processes. Instead, the key lies in enabling and promoting the innovation of sustainable energy technologies that benefit both the immediate economic goals and the environment - lessening (or eliminating) negative externalities. For this purpose this project aims to find, analyse, interpret, evaluate, and propose successful strategies of innovation policies of sustainable energy technologies, focusing on the particular challenges that emerging market economies face in this field.
