Inside Green Innovation:
Progress Report -Third Edition
Introduction
Delegates from around the world are gathering in Dubai for COP28, to review and debate progress made on green pledges agreed in 2022 at COP27. Despite the impact of recent geopolitical events, starting with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the latest global patent data shows that companies worldwide have continued to accelerate investment into the green technologies that could mitigate the impact of global climate-related, and environmental, challenges.
This report uses this global patent data to assess green innovation activity.
