COP15: REN Alliance calls for Global Investment Fund for Renewable Energy (30.12.2009 15:08:25)
The International Renewable Energy Alliance (REN Alliance) calls for renewables to be at the forefront of the post-2012 climate action regime. The REN Alliance COP 15 Policy Statement insists that the Kyoto mechanisms become more straightforward for project development and the programmatic approaches are centred on progressing renewable energy systems. The policy statement demands that significant reform is required to make the Kyoto Mechanisms, especially the Clean Development Mechanism, more effective by removing unnecessary complexity and improving the consistency of the process, especially for projects in the developing countries. The policy paper “Scaling-Up for a Renewable Future: Reforming Existing Mechanisms and Shaping New Approaches Post-2012”, marks an important step in the REN Alliance contributing to a climate action regime that can deliver results to both mitigate and help adapt to the changing climate and the needs of mankind.
