Option 1 A technology action plan² shall serve as a starting point for the Executive Body on Technology³. It shall aim to accelerate action across all stages of the technology development cycle, including research, development, demonstration, diffusion, transfer and use of environmentally sound technologies, in order to support short-, medium-, and long term action on mitigation and adaptation and to promote a shift to sustainable development paths. The technology action plan shall:
(a) Define specific institutional arrangements, policies, actions and funding requirements for all relevant technologies under the following classifications: public domain technologies, [IPR protected] [patented] technologies and knowhow, future technologies;
(b) Include specific actions and timelines for the first three years, and be reviewed and updated for successive three-year periods in the light of lessons learned;
(c) Support the establishment of and/or strengthen existing national and regional technology innovation centres⁴;
(d) Assess the steps required to accelerate research, development, demonstration, diffusion and transfer of environmentally sound technologies for mitigation and adaptation;
(e) Develop an effective strategy that identifies and proposes specific measures to overcome the barriers to technology development and transfer.

Option 2
Parties should promote the development of innovative technologies and strengthen international technology cooperation and technology outcomes through a series of prioritized technology action plans that shall be developed to, inter alia, identify the potential for the technology to contribute to global, regional or national mitigation and adaptation responses, identify the gaps and barriers to commercial maturity and recommend further actions to realize its potential;

(a) Technology action plans shall be informed and supported by comprehensive global technology road maps that provide an overview of what needs to be done to promote wider and more rapid development and deployment of key technologies, and which shall identify:
(i) The current state of development of the technology, including technologies for adaptation;
(ii) Key stakeholders and relevant existing and emerging efforts contributing to the development of the technology;
(iii) Gaps and barriers to commercial maturity;
(iv) Opportunities for cooperation between developed and developing country Parties, including their respective private-sectors.

(b) Technology action plans and technology road maps should build on and work collaboratively with other relevant international and national efforts and institutions to maximize efficiency of effort and avoid duplication.

Option 3⁵
A plan for technology action shall be developed and serve as a starting point for the [Executive Body on Technology][Executive Technology Board][Executive Body on Finance and Technology]. It shall aim to accelerate short-, medium-, and long term action across all stages of the technology development cycle, including research, development, demonstration, diffusion, transfer and use of existing and new environmentally sound technologies, in order to support action on mitigation and adaptation and to promote a shift to sustainable development paths. The plan for technology action shall:

(a) assess the steps required to accelerate research, development, demonstration, diffusion and transfer of environmentally sound technologies for mitigation and adaptation, through developing a comprehensive overview of what needs to be done
to promote wider and more rapid development and deployment of key technologies, and which shall identify:
(i) The current state of development of technologies for mitigation and adaptation;
(ii) Key stakeholders and relevant existing and emerging efforts contributing to the development of these technology;
(iii) Gaps and barriers that prevent technologies from reaching commercial maturity;
(iv) Opportunities for cooperation between developed and developing country Parties, including their respective private sectors;
(v) Prioritized technologies that should be the focus for specific programmes of action to accelerate the development and transfer of technology.

(b) Based on this analysis, specific, time-bound actions and associated funding requirements shall be defined and specific programmes of action developed for each prioritized technology, encompassing:
(i) Measures to overcome the barriers to technology development and transfer;
(ii) Policies and measures to enhance enabling environments as referred in paragraph 19;
(iii) Capacity-building activities as referred in paragraphs 20-22;
(iv) Actions to promote cooperative research and development as referred in paragraphs 23-24;
(v) Measures to address intellectual property rights as referred to in paragraph 25;
(vi) Incentive mechanisms as referred to in paragraphs 26-28;
(vii) Actions to enhance the development and transfer of technologies for adaptation as referred in paragraph 31;
(viii) The establishment and/or strengthen of existing national and regional technology innovation centres as referred to in paragraphs 33-34.
