UN report advocates renewable energy
DUBAI — Renewable energy must play a major role in the global energy supply to meet the increasingly serious environmental and economic threats of climate change, according to a new report from the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the Twenty-First Century (REN21).
The report, ‘Changing Climates’ was launched during the ninth Special Session of the UNEP’s Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum which is taking place in Dubai today. Environment ministers from across the world are meeting at the event to discuss energy and other issues topping the environmental policy agenda. The launch of the report coincides with the opening of a new REN21 secretariat office, headed by Paul Suding and supported by UNEP and GTZ, the German Technical Co-operation. The new office is housed in the UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics in Paris.
The report, which revolves around the role of renewable energy in a carbon-constrained world, cites an emerging consensus in both the scientific and political communities that a global warming limit of 2 degrees Centigrade above pre-industrial levels can avoid the most serious climate change threats.
