Germany, for example, is planning the world s most ambitious low carbon energy transition, based on energy conservation and renewables. South Korea has made green growth a central economic goal.

Germany has taken the first step, but the transition to a fully renewable energy based economy must be a common European effort.

Trade unions support the transition to clean energy for environmental reasons as well as for the promise it holds for revitalized national economies and employment.

Libya s Transition to Transition

Gradual, predictable, and reliable increases in energy prices would provide strong incentives for consumers to reduce their energy bills. At the same time, the right carbon price would enable a smooth transition away from fossil fuels by encouraging investments in technological innovation.

Many developing countries and countries with economies in transition relied on the Technical Cooperation Programme of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the transfer of nuclear knowledge.

Finally, technological advances in low carbon energy systems, including photovoltaics, electric vehicles, CCS, and fourth generation nuclear power with greatly enhanced safety features, all help make the transition to low cost, low carbon energy technologically realistic, with huge benefits for human health and planetary safety.

Germany is undertaking the Energiewende, or transition to sustainable energy a remarkable effort (indeed, unprecedented for a large advanced economy) to meet the country s entire energy demand with renewable energy, especially solar and wind power. Meanwhile, France relies heavily on low carbon nuclear power, and is switching rapidly to electric vehicles, such as the pioneering Renault Nissan Leaf.

Yet we must complete most of the transformation to low carbon energy by mid century. This is extraordinarily difficult given the long transition period needed to overhaul the world s energy infrastructure, including not only power plants, transmission lines, and transport systems, but also homes and commercial buildings.

Everything is affected. And we have to organize our response appropriately. We need a worldwide, global mobilization for renewable energy, conservation, efficiency and a global transition to a low carbon economy.

When it comes to preparing for the future, one exceptionally large project lies ahead the energy transition. We all know that we are headed toward a new growth model one that is more sober and sustainable, that depends less on fossil fuels and more on renewable energy sources.

Yet at both the global and national levels, energy is poorly governed. The fiasco of the Copenhagen climate summit is just one illustration of how far the world is from being able to bring about the desperately needed transition to a system of sustainable and secure provision of energy services.

Many developing countries in particular LDCs and countries with economies in transition face the urgent need to provide adequate, reliable and affordable energy services, especially electricity, to two billion people mainly in rural areas.

Political transition

Transition groups in Chile, transition groups in the U.S., transition groups here, what they're doing looks very different in every place that you go to.

What you're doing is, when you stand up, potential energy to kinetic energy, potential energy to kinetic energy.

Energy Markets or Energy Governance?

a In the context of Renewables 2004, renewable energy sources and technologies include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy including biofuels, and geothermal energy.

Emphasizing the need to take further action to mobilize the provision of adequate financial resources, of sufficient quality and arriving in a timely manner, as well as the transfer of advanced technology to developing countries and countries with economies in transition for providing efficient and wider use of energy sources, in particular new and renewable sources of energy,

The electric car mantra diverts attention from what really matters a cost effective transition from fossil fuels to cheaper green energy, which requires research and innovation. Electric cars might be a great advance for that purpose in a couple of decades.

In the energy area particular attention is given to the priority services rural energy for productive use with emphasis on renewable energy and energy efficiency .

The rural energy programme aims at providing modern energy services to the rural poor using renewable energy technologies.

Research on mitigation included research on new energy sources and renewable energy, energy efficiency, and GHG abatement technologies.
