    30 November 2012Trade war in the Pacific: ASEAN andthe Trans-Pacific Partnership

    In November 2001, Doha hosted trade talks over intellectual

    property and public health. The discussions resulted in the

    landmark Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and

    Public Health. The Doha Declaration recognised “that the

    TRIPS Agreement does not and should not prevent members

    from taking measures to protect public health” – particularly in

    relation to HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other

    epidemics.

    More than a decade on, in December 2012, Doha hosted the

    international climate talks for parties to the United Nations

    Framework Convention on Climate Change 1992 and the

    Kyoto Protocol 1997. There was, once again, a contentious

    debate over intellectual property – this time in relation to clean

    technologies to address mitigation and adaptation”.

    Will Doha deliver?

    Disappointingly, the 2012 Doha Climate talks resulted in no

    declaration or agreement on intellectual property and clean

    technologies. Indeed, the discussions on intellectual property

    were deadlocked. There was instead a cluster of decisions

    known as the Doha Climate Gateway.

    While such decisions did not address intellectual property or

    open innovation, the Doha Climate Gateway selected the

    United Nations Environment Programme to host the UNFCCC

    Climate Technology Centre.

    Intellectual property and cleantechnologies

    In the debate over the Doha climate talks, there was division

    over whether there should be text in respect of intellectual

    property and clean technologies.

    China said, “We’re not going to request technology transfer

    free of charge. We certainly respect intellectual property

    rights.”

    South Africa argued the talks should address “questions of

    equitable access to sustainable development, intellectual

    property rights and unilateral trade measures.”

    The Philippines requested that the Technology Executive

    Committee consider issues “related to intellectual property

    rights as they arise in the development and transfer of

    technologies.” The country was particularly concerned about

    the need to address climate emergencies.

    The Philippines delegate, Naderev Saño, made an emotional plea to the Doha climateconference for there to be no further delays in taking international action on climate change.

    The Progressive Latin Americans – such as Venezuela –

    mooted text on a wide range of co-operative measures on

    intellectual property and climate change.

    A green intellectual property exchange?

    There was also significant discussion of co-operative models

    for facilitating open access to clean technologies.

    In their book MacroWikinomics, Don Tapscott and Anthony

    Williams have called for the establishment of a green

    technology commons, sharing humanity’s knowledge of

    sustainable technologies.

    The Creative Commons – celebrating its 10th birthday –

    has established the GreenXChange.

    https://theconversation.edu.au/the-doha-deadlock-intellectual-property-and-climate-change-11244[11/12/2012 4:48:06 PM]

    The GreenXchange has been promoted as a model for intellectual property exchange.

    The Climate Action Network has proposed building on such a

    model, and establishing an intellectual property exchange to

    “enable secure, efficient and transparent arms-length

    transactions for intellectual property licensing”.

    India put forward compromise text on intellectual property and

    climate change. India’s lead negotiator, Mira Mehrishi, called

    for a fund to enable access to clean technologies with

    intellectual property rights. Mehrishi commented: “If we don’t

    get cheap technology we will never be able to adapt to

    climate change."

    However, developed countries rebuffed such

    compromises.

    Intellectual property, piracy and climatechange

    As noted by attendee Michael Mazengarb, developed

    countries said there should be strong enforcement of

    intellectual property to encourage investment in clean

    technologies.

    The United States and the European Union insisted that the

    Doha Climate Gateway should be silent on intellectual

    property. Other developed countries argued that other forums

    – such as the World Trade Organization and the World

    Intellectual Property Organization – would be better placed

    to address intellectual property and climate change.

    It is striking that, while intellectual property was a taboo

    subject in the Doha climate talks, the United States

    simultaneously pressed for an expansionist chapter on

    intellectual property in the Auckland talks on the Trans-

    Pacific Partnership.

    Indeed, the Edison Electric Institute – which represented

    United States energy companies in climate discussions –

    promoted the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership as a

    preferable model where “global innovation is maximized” and

    “intellectual property rights are adequately protected”.

    The Climate Technology Centre

    The Copenhagen Accord 2009, the Cancun Decisions

    2010, and the Durban Platform 2011 established the

    foundations of a technology mechanism – a UNFCCC

    Climate Technology Centre and Network.

    In the lead up to the Doha negotiations, the Technology

    Executive Committee asked for greater clarity about the

    Climate Technology Centre’s role in matters of intellectual

    property.

    Christiana Figueres closing briefing at Doha.

    The topic was discussed during the climate talks in Durban.

    Draft text on December 7, 2012 alluded to intellectual

    property, suggesting the Technology Executive Committee

    should be “examining effective mechanisms that promote

    access to affordable environmentally sound technologies,

    reward innovators and increase the dynamic of global

    innovation”. However, even such euphemistic language was

    erased in the end.

    One of the key positive decisions of the Doha climate talks

    was the selection of the United Nations Environment

    Programme (UNEP) to host the UNFCCC Climate

    Technology Centre for an initial term of five years.

    UNEP had put together a collaborative bid. The United

    Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) will be

    a co-manager. The partners of the consortium included

    research and scientific organisations in Thailand, India,

    Argentina, Costa Rica, Kenya, Germany, the Netherlands,

    Denmark, and the United States.

    India will play a key role. The United States partner is the

    National Renewable Energy Laboratory – an innovator on a

    wide range of clean technologies.

    The UNEP emphasized in its bid: “We will be driven by

    country needs, recognizing as well that weak institutions are

    often a barrier to the transfer of technologies and that

    developing the capabilities of developing countries is critical.”

    The Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on

    Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, was optimistic:

    The world has the money and technology to stay below

    two degrees. After Doha, it is a matter of scale, speed,

    determination and sticking to the timetable.
