Global Warming Conference Invitation

This is to announce the call for papers for the Working Group On Global Warming Conference & Expo 10(WGGW Conference & Expo 10), 23rd - 27th July 2010 at Mayfair Hotel UK, 26 Park Lane London, W1K 1BE United Kingdom.

Background

The financial, food, fuel and climate crises are individually serious issues, but in combination their impact could be catastrophic for the global economy. Perhaps we stand at a crossroads. Even as we move into a global economic downturn there are growing calls for an accelerated transformation towards low carbon and resource productive economies. To move forward will require new and more efficient solutions, technologies and products alongside behavioral change. Climate change is now universally recognized as a significant global environmental challenge and as a consequence, debate over the measures needed to tackle climate change has moved up to the top of the agenda amongst civil society, business and government. The United Nations Global Warming Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009 highlighted the major challenges and opportunities associated with climate change as we move towards post 2012 carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction targets. In July 2008, the UK raised the bar by announcing a target of cutting

renewable energy project


From the standpoint of a renewable energy project developer, the key components of the law itself are:

the establishment of a renewable energy target system which starts at the national level and eventually works its way down to individual energy-production entities;
a mandate that China’s state power grid companies purchase, favorably dispatch, and build transmission lines to renewable power sources and gasoline wholesale companies purchase liquid bio-fuels;
general guidance on establishing purchase prices for renewable energy that are based on the principles of benefiting renewable energy development and being economically reasonable; and
a description of the types of fiscal and tax incentives that will be developed to support the renewable power industry and specific projects.
As to the first point, the Plan provides specific 2010 and 2020 targets for a host of renewable energy types. It sets forth as a “Guiding Principles” (section 2) the “speed[ing] up [of] the development and deployment of hydropower, wind power, solar energy, and biomass energy.”
