LCES-2012 will continue to provide an alternative platform to other global conferences in related to climate change and environment protection. The event will focus more on practical perspectives on green economy, promotion of sustainable or renewable energy, and exhibit technical resolutions to solve and predict the existing issues. Through the massive operations on comprehensive topics related low carbon economy and industries, organizers hope the summit can provide best information to exchange channels for all endeavors on low carbon fields who are working on controlling global climate changes from policy makers, NGO leaders, economists, investors, engineers, scientists, industrial leaders, carbon traders, brokers, clean emerge producers, energy consumers, toward daily low carbon life practitioners and advocators etc. Thus, LCES-2012 can provide help the society and humanity with unprecedented impacts on the world sustainable development, new economy growth and renewable energy innovation to commercialization.

Noting that Indigenous peoples and marginalized populations will be prominent in several of the chapters of the AR5, IPPC Working Group II and UNU in July 2010 agreed to co-organize a workshop to redress the shortfall of available information on Indigenous and marginalized peoples and their climate change adaptation. This first workshop focused on adaptation and vulnerabilities, and was held in collaboration with Working Group II co-chairs (Vicente Barros and Chris Field), lead authors and the technical support unit of WGII, in Mexico City from 19-21 July 2011.
This second workshop addresses issues relevant to Working Group III, and will bring together lead authors for the AR5, Indigenous peoples and representatives of local communities, and developing country scientists. The workshop will allow for more in-depth focus on the topics and regions for which WGIII is seeking input. An international panel of experts including climate scientists and Indigenousexperts will oversee the workshop.

As population level is projected to increase from 6.5 billion to 8.3 billion by 2030, the world’s demand for energy will also increase by 53 % and thereby elevating global carbon emissions by 55%. At present, the largest contributor in percentage term of global greenhouse gas emissions is China-19.5%. It is followed by USA-19.2%, India-5.3%, Russia-5.1%, Japan-3.6% and Germany- 2.6%.
There is a compliance need to 2020 in India and other Nations including EU. The CDM is Undergoing its own upheaval and National or Global targets to limit CO2 could still be upgraded if international negotiations are finally successful this year, or downgraded if not. Intergovernmental trading has grown, but at the same time attracted controversy. Now the Question is, Are these emissions trading mechanisms the right ones? How can they be scaled up? How can we enable lucrative policy for Green Initiatives? Where is the clever money headed? What are the Risks & Returns on Green Investments?

DIREC 2010 |
Upscaling and Mainstreaming Renewables for Energy Security, Climate Change and Economic DevelopmentThe Government of India, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, is proud to be the Host of the 4th International Renewable Energy Conference in 2010. The Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC) 2010 will be held from 27th to 29th October, 2010in New Delhi/ NCR. DIREC 2010 is the fourth in the series of the Internationa Renewable Energy Conferences, which followed from the initiative taken at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, acknowledging the significance of renewable energies for sustainable development – especially for combating poverty and for environmental and climate protection. DIREC 2010 is an international platform for government, private sector, and civil society leaders to jointly address the goal of advancing renewable energy. It will build upon the success of the previous events in Washington in 2008 (WIREC), Beijing in 2005 and Bonn in 2004. Government ministers, high-level decision makers and policy-level thinkers from countries all over the world will convene to address the key drivers of renewable energy production and use, which continue to drive the industry forward, despite the global economic recession. The Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC) 2010 will bring together the world’s leaders in the field of renewable energy from governments, civil society, and private sector and provide an interactive forum for them to discuss and exchange their visions, experience, and solutions for accelerating the global scale up of renewable energy. Through interactive, moderated discussions, DIREC 2010 will enable its participants to acquire a deeper understanding of:
The Conference will consist of the following elements:
DIREC 2010 aims to build upon the outcomes of the conferences in Bonn, Beijing, and Washington by promoting pledges for concrete and innovative actions to advance renewables. The Delhi International Action Programme, which is managed by REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century), a key international partner for DIREC 2010, will provide governments and other major stakeholders with an inspiring roadmap of global renewable energy progress and an invaluable source of information on specific steps they can take to advance the uptake of renewable energy. The International Action Programme, was initiated at the Bonn conference in 2004, and was further advanced by WIREC in Washington D.C. in 2008. REN21 has managed and documented the pledges, which today number 340. DIREC 2010 is a new opportunity for governments and other major stakeholders to make even bolder pledges to develop and enact renewable energy policies that will tackle energy security, environment and economic challenges and mainstream renewables into a low-carbon development pathway. DIREC 2010 will be hosted by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in association with partner organizations and managed by M/S Exhibitions India Group, New Delhi. REN21 – the Renewable Energy Network Policy Network for the 21st Century – is the international DIREC partner. With more than 7,000-9,000 delegates / participants, over 250 speakers and 600 exhibitors from 40 countries, the Event is expected to be the premier renewables gathering ever held in India. |
