Table 2.
How to adopt humanity-based international R&D diffusion
| Analytical units | Specific alternatives |
|---|---|
| International organizations |
- The Sendai Framework needs to further discuss intellectual property rights on international R&D and prioritize the list of potential disaster victims toward the goal of international disaster management. - The European Innovation Council should focus on societal benefits rather than organizational monetary benefits in dealing with the regional impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. |
|
Developed Nations |
- Developed nations must make further efforts to diffuse R&D to developing nations and other developed nations. - Developed nations must not consider disaster management R&D diffusion as an issue of national security but of humanity, given that the occurrence of disasters may impact all nations. |
|
Developing Nations |
- Developing nations must realize the significance of international R&D diffusion in disaster management, particularly by referring to the cases of China and Bangladesh, among others. - Developing nations should prioritize the issue of disaster management, to mitigate both economic damages and human losses, and then increase patent applications for international R&D diffusion. |
