Abstract
Climate change is a phenomenon that affects humanity as a whole. One step in its solution is the development of technologies that allow us to adapt and mitigate its effects. However, most of these environmentally friendly technologies are protected by intellectual property rights, which, far from allowing their access, sometimes constitute an obstacle, fundamentally, for developing countries. In this sense, it is up to the States to dictate public policies that promote the research, development, dissemination, and transfer of these technologies through the use of the tools of the intellectual property system.
