The Journal of International Affairs at Columbia University, produced by students at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), brought together six experts in the field of technology and the environment for a Thought Leadership Forum on December 6, 2010. The forum launched the fall 2010 issue of the Journal of International Affairs: Innovating for Development. • Panelists discussed how technology shapes public policies on energy, natural resources and climate change and how governments can foster innovation in these fields. • Paul Hudnut, co-director of the Colorado State University Global Innovation Center, spoke about his work to develop clean and efficient cook stoves for consumers in India and elsewhere. He argued that marketing is often the missing link in technological solutions to environmental problems. • There are huge numbers of what we call technology road kill out there, which is technologies that have been launched without thinking through, for instance, whether people want the technology, he said. • http://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/
