Considering the sizeof the challenges, however, the existing measures are notenough. Getting these two countries onto the track of <strong>low</strong><strong>carbon</strong>development will require more effective policies toensure technology transfer as well as rapid technology developmentand deployment.Risø Energy Report 745
