International Science and Technology Co-operation: Towards Sustainable DevelopmentOECD Publishing, 2001 M03 7 - 369 pages Achieving sustainable development goals at a global level will strongly depend on the rapid technological development and innovation, and the widespread diffusion and application, of cleaner technologies in non-OECD as well as OECD countries.
