There is an opportunity for developing countries to pursue a complementary approach, emphasizing building up the capabilities of local firms to participate in the business opportunities surrounding climate change. Climate change therefore represents an opportunity for developing countries to build local green industries that can drive sustainable economic growth and provide environmental benefits. This report offers insight to policy makers and other stakeholders seeking to develop competitive green industries in developing countries. It provides an overview and estimate of the market opportunity for climate and clean technology business in developing countries over the coming decade. It identifies which aspects of these markets are most accessible to local firms and to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in particular. Using a newly gathered set of firm data, it identifies which parts of the value chain are already being targeted by local industry. Finally, it provides a set of actions that can be considered for countries that intend to build up local green industries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACTION PLANADVANCED TECHNOLOGYAIRAIR POLLUTIONALTERNATIVE FUELSANNUAL GLOBAL EMISSIONSASHAUTOMOTIVEBALANCE SHEETSBARRIERS TO ENTRYBASICBIBIOGASBIOMASSBIOTECHNOLOGYBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS MODELSBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESBUSINESSESCALCULATIONCAPABILITIESCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FINANCECARBON TECHNOLOGIESCERTIFICATESCHEMICALSCLCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCLEAN TECHNOLOGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOCOALCOLLABORATIONCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITIESCOMPETITIVE RESEARCHCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPONENTSCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTDATA LIMITATIONSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDIESELECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMIC VALUEECONOMIES OF SCALEEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSELECTRICITYEMEMISSIONEMISSION ABATEMENTEMISSION REDUCTIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIESENERGY MIXENERGY SOURCESENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL GOODSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSEQUIPMENTETHANOLEXCHANGE RATEFILTRATIONFINANCIAL SERVICESFORESTRYFUELSGENERATION CAPACITYGHGGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT POLICYGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE-GASGREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONSGROWTH STRATEGYHARMONIZATIONHYDROGENICTIDIMPACT ASSESSMENTSINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONINDUSTRY INVOLVEMENTINFRAREDINNOVATIONSINSOLATIONINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSJAVAKNOWLEDGE PRODUCTSLAND RECLAMATIONLANDFILLLANDFILL GASLICENSELICENSESLOW-CARBONMANUFACTURINGMARKET DISTORTIONSMARKET FORECASTSMARKET OPPORTUNITIESMARKET OPPORTUNITYMARKET SHAREMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMEDIUM ENTERPRISESMETHANENATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKSOILOILSOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYORGANIC WASTEOSMOSISPATENTSPEPHOTOPHOTOVOLTAICSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY MAKERSPOLYMERSPOPULATION GROWTHPOWER PLANTSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPROPERTY RIGHTSQUERIESR&DRECYCLINGREDUCING EMISSIONSREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSRELIABILITYRENEWABLE ENERGYRESEARCH NETWORKSRESOURCE USERESULTRESULTSRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSANITARY LANDFILLSSITESSOLAR POWERSTREAMSSUSPENDED PARTICLESTARGETSTAX INCENTIVESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTSTECHNOLOGY SECTORTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETIME PERIODTINTRANSLATIONTRANSMISSIONUNEPUSESVALUE CHAINVALUE CHAINSWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER TREATMENTWEBSITEWINDWIND ENERGYWIND POWER10.1596/20684
