<strong>and</strong> adds to the difficulty <strong>of</strong> driving eco-innovation in the contemporary global<br />

marketplace.<br />

Clearly national policies on eco-innovation need to be underpinned by <strong>international</strong><br />

agreements that all countries will take action to reduce their environmental impacts.<br />

While such agreements now exist (perhaps most importantly the UN Framework<br />

Convention on Climate Change), there is a long way to go before they assert a sufficient<br />

influence on global market developments for eco-innovation to proceed at the pace<br />

identified at the beginning <strong>of</strong> this paper as scientifically necessary to avoid major<br />

disruption to natural systems <strong>and</strong> human societies.<br />
