Abstract: Considering the magnitude and urgency concerning climate change, and the important role of technology therein, it is imperative that transition towards a global green technoeconomic paradigm is proactively promoted. Such a transition is not possible unless there is a strong bias in favour of environment in policy making as well as at the level of technological choices made by firms. This paper attempts to touch upon some of the crucial issues that must be addressed in order to bring about a strong ‘environmental bias’ in making technological as well as policy choices necessary for establishing a green techno-economic paradigm.
