Technology identification of South-South cooperation on Climate change of developing countries: A case of the countries along OBOR

The issue of Climate change has become a corn concern of the humanity. Appropriate technology and partner identification for mitigation and adaptation to climate change is the key to South-South cooperation. There has an urgently needs for technologies in developing countries while lack of information. This paper presents a scientometric analysis of research work to establish evaluation index system of science and technology strength on climate change from two sides of scientific research and technology development through output data in the Science Citation Index Expanded database (DB SCIE) and European Patent Office Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (DB EPO) from 2003 to 2014. Then we evaluate the scientific strength of key requirements fields of developing countries and get a comprehensive grasp of the status quo distribution of world-class technology, world-class organization and world-class professional. We hope the answers can be used to comprehend the scientific research and technology development level on climate change of the world's major countries and China, so as to provide reference for the partner selection of the technology transfer, the technology service and the technology information exchange of developing countries and to provide the theory foundation for the technology cooperation between China and the countries along the OBOR.
