renewables 2004 has completely fulfilled all expectations:
On Friday, 4 June, government delegates from 154 countries
adopted the
Political Declaration of renewables 2004. The
declaration contains definitions of common political
objectives for promoting the role of renewable energies.
In the
International Action Programme, governments,
international organisations and stakeholders have committed
to a plethora of activities that are geared towards the
increased use of renewable energies.
About 200
proposed voluntary actions and commitments from all over the
globe have been accepted for incorporation into the IAP. All
submitting parties express a strong willingness to promote
renewable energies. In January 2005 an analysis of the
content has been provided by the conveners. See also the press
releases dated
2 June 2004
and
28 January 2005.
The
Policy Recommendations give practical advice on how to
promote the development of the market for renewable energies
in the North and South.
