Description
Julio Lambing:
"It is standing to reason to consider applying these innovative models of technology development and dissemination to global climate protection. Climate change demands the swift dissemination of sustainable technologies in newly industrialised and developing countries if this challenge is to be tackled successfully. The obvious shortcomings in this vital sphere of action demand innovative solutions, instruments and models. It seems natural to employ a Commons approach as exemplified by the Open Hardware movement, the Open Source model and other novel collaborative approaches. Also, European eco-innovation, the European road towards a sustainable continent and a knowledge society, appears likewise to be an appropriate theatre of operations for collaborative models of creativity."
