Meeting right after the Third Gleneagles Dialogue Ministerial Meeting
in Berlin, and with the Bali COP 13 Climate Conference and several other
climate events on the horizon, participants underlined the need to fully
take into account the major contribution that renewables can make to
climate change mitigation.
Since the Bonn Conference in 2004,
renewables have come a long way. Looking to the WIREC 2008 Conference,
the Steering Committee conveyed the message that renewables' huge
deployment potentials are ready to be realised on the fast track,
starting today.
Other issues on the agenda were the Renewables Global
Status Report and the review of renewable energy policy measures.
