Cambridge University Press Cambridge Handbook of PPP, IP Governance, and Sustainable Dev

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are becoming central to solving global development challenges. As United Nations agencies and other international organizations rely on these partnerships to improve global health, facilitate access to scientific information, and encourage the diffusion of climate change technologies, understanding their framework is more important than ever. This handbook addresses the role of PPPs in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While these partnerships are expanding, the intellectual property dimensions and their specific implications remain under-examined in current literature. This book provides a deep look into how intellectual property governance affects these collaborative efforts. It is an essential resource for researchers, legal professionals, and policymakers interested in the intersection of law, business, and global development. By examining these connections, the text helps clarify the complex relationship between private sector involvement and the achievement of global sustainability targets.
