Patents on environment technologies is the ratio of environment-related inventions of all domestic inventions in all technologies.
Indicators of technology development are constructed by measuring inventive activity using patent data across a wide range of environment-related technological domains, including environmental management, water-related adaptation, and climate change mitigation technologies. The counts used here include only higher-value inventions.
Changes in environmental technological patents can be interpreted in relation to innovation in general.
This indicator is measured as a percentage of all domestic inventions in all technologies.
