"Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs) are not just
individual technologies, but total systems which include know-how,
procedures, goods and services, and equipment as well as organizational
and managerial procedures.
Technology cooperation involves joint efforts by enterprises
and Governments, both suppliers of technologies and its recipients.
Therefore, such cooperation entails an iterative process involving
government, the private sector, and research and development facilities
to ensure the best possible results from the transfer of
technology." (Agenda
21)
