SDG #17 is to “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”

Within SDG #17 are 19 targets, of which we here focus on Target 17.7:

Promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favourable terms, including on concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed

Target 17.7 has one indicator:

• Indicator 17.7.1: Total amount of funding for developing countries to promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies

The world’s biggest exporter of environmentally sound technologies is China. In 2020, China exported $258 billion of such technology. Worldwide, there were $1.17 trillion of such exports, a similar amount to 2015, at the adoption of the SDGs.
