      title = {Intellectual property rights and climate change :  interpreting the TRIPS Agreement for environmentally sound  technologies.},
      abstract = {As the world confronts global warming, there is a growing  consensus that the TRIPS Agreement could be a more  effective instrument for mitigating climate change. In this  innovative work, Wei Zhuang systematically examines the  contextual elements that can be used in the interpretation  of the TRIPS Agreement with a view to enhancing innovation  and transfer of environmentally sound technologies. Zhuang  proposes a balanced and pro-competitive interpretation that  could be pursued by policymakers and negotiators. This  comprehensive, multidisciplinary study will help academics  and policymakers improve their understanding of the  contemporary international legal regimes governing  intellectual property rights, as well as innovation and  transfer of environmentally sound technologies. It also  offers practical guidance for further developing a legal  system capable of responding to the challenges posed by  climate change.},
