The need to tackle global climate change and energy security makes developing alternatives to fossil fuels crucial.
Environmentally friendly construction is not just a fad perpetrated by eco activists; it saves money, creates jobs and improves the quality of life for residents who live in green buildings, as well as slashing greenhouse gas emissions. Green building offers a viable solution to help combat climate change because projects do not only focus on using renewable energy, but
The report, entitled "Sea Change: US Climate Policy Prospects Under the Obama Administration", provides an analysis of climate policy prospects under the Obama administration and was produced for the Swedish Government's Sustainability Commission in preparation for the upcoming Swedish EU Presidency and the Swedish leadership of the COP15 EU delegation in December 2009.
This report contains separate assessments of climate policy in twelve of the major GHG emitting countries, covering government policy on mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer, and land use policies. The assessments cover the policy developments between 1st November 2008 and 20thFebruary 2009.
The final agreement on the EU climate package retains the goal to reduce emissions by 20 per cent. Together with a 20-per-cent share of renewables and 20-per-cent energy savings, this creates the triple goal of 20-20-20 by 2020.

In spite of the intention of governments to increase the use of renewable energy in electricity supply, particularly the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) for energy poverty reduction in rural and peri-urban areas of Africa, there is relatively little information on how solar PV electrification impacts on energy poverty reduction.
The base document prepared by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy aimed at developing a framework for undertaking programmatic CDM projects in the renewable energy sector. Comments and feedbacks on the report are accepted till March 24, 2009.
India should retool its economy to run on renewable energy, creating millions of jobs and raising the standard of living. The global economic downturn provides an excellent opportunity to improve India's energy supplies, which are critical to supporting better infrastructure and driving growth. India predicts it will need an extra 75,000 megawatts of electricity-generating capacity by 2012.
