(83) Technical information concerning efficient energy use and use of renewable energies

Developed country Parties generally give preference to wood energy projects rather than renewable energies.

The Renewable energies programme, which provides for major development of these energies, as regards both final uses for heat and electricity generation.

Ministers and Government Representatives support the strengthening of human and institutional capacities for renewable energies.

The organizations have stressed the importance of mastering the technologies connected with new and renewable energies.

At the local level, it is difficult to create successful agricultural cooperatives designed to supply renewable energies.

Which means that they have more proven the limits of renewable energies than the potential of it.

The renewable energy network has also been included in the International Action Programme adopted at the International Conference for Renewable Energies held in Bonn (Germany) in June 2004.

Solar, wind and other renewable energies are now affordable consumer realities, and considering the never ending rising costs of traditional energies, it will likely be a cheaper investment over time.

Concerns about global warming and production of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are stimulating increasing interest in renewable energies.

In addition, the Bank cooperated closely with the RCU to prepare the launch meeting for the renewable energies network.

The network launch meeting was closely linked with preparations for the International Conference on Renewable Energies held in June 2004.

Within the framework of bilateral cooperation, there is one country which reports significant support in the area of renewable energies.

Such solutions needed to link global agreements with local initiatives including sustainable transportation, the use of renewable energies, and recycling.

Efforts to preserve Africa s natural resources and to exploit the vast potential of the sub continent s renewable energies are not free.

The spread of renewable energies can also help to reduce pressure on the biomass, thus enhancing the effectiveness of desertification control.

(c) The Policy Recommendations for Renewable Energies offer an exemplary menu of strategies for decision makers in public and private institutions.

Activities cover such areas as information, awareness creation, reforestation, water and soil conservation, regeneration of rangelands, ecotourism and the promotion of renewable energies.

However, many of the country reports indicate considerable potential for renewable energies, though they have yet to be exploited in an optimum way.

The activities cover such areas as information, awareness creation, reforestation, water and soil conservation, regeneration of rangeland, ecotourism and promotion of renewable energies.

Of this funding, some 2.5 billion DM were spent on hydroelectric power generation some 500 million DM were spend on other renewable energies.

The fight against climate change will be waged in large part over whether Africa s energy needs are met with fossil fuels or renewable energies.

11. Welcomes the initiative by the Government of Germany to host the International Conference for Renewable Energies, in Bonn, from 1 to 4 June 2004

Renewable energies like solar and wind are already competitive with fossil fuels in many parts of the world, and they can be scaled up rapidly.

The launching meeting of the network was closely linked with the preparations of the International Conference on Renewable Energies that took place in June 2004.

The question of energy is little dealt with in the organizations' reports, although it is mentioned in a few, especially with regard to renewable energies.

The International Action Programme from the 2004 International Conference for Renewable Energies (Bonn, Germany) contains ambitious national targets for the expansion of renewable energy in more than 20 countries, including many initiatives for increased cooperation with developing countries.

Such frameworks are essential to realizing the potentials for renewable energy technologies in an effective and efficient manner, to creating favourable conditions for public and private investments in renewable energies, and to extending modern energy services to populations currently without access.

The substantive focus of the UNCCD input to the Conference on Renewable Energies derived largely from the deliberations in the network launch meeting and the ministerial meeting.

Renewable energies can help to multiply and diversify income generating activities thanks to providing decentralized energy supplies which current rural electrification programmes are unable to develop significantly.

(b) The International Action Programme consists of almost 200 voluntary commitments and actions which reflect new and unprecedented evidence of the international community's dedication to renewable energies.

Units of Energies

Renewable energies include biomass for fuel (wood and straw), biogas, biofuel (bioethanol and biodiesel), electricity cogenerated from sugar cane, solar energy, wind energy, thermal hydroelectricity, and fuel cells.

Welcomes the holding of the Beijing International Renewable Energy Conference 2005, organized by China and supported by Germany, on 7 and 8 November 2005 in follow up to the International Conference for Renewable Energies held in Bonn from 1 to 4 June 2004

In fact, renewable energies can provide an economic impetus for agricultural and rural development and help rejuvenate rural economies with a significant financial impact on farmers and agricultural businesses

The initiatives aimed at restoring degraded land are principally structured around regeneration of the natural environment, management of water resources, promotion of renewable energies, strengthening of food security and awareness creation.
