This PricewaterhouseCoopers analytical report reviews G20 carbon intensity levels between 2000-2008 and the distance to go to 2050, underlining case for an ambitious deal in Copenhagen and emphasises the key role of China, US, EU and India.
This paper points out the challenges in identifying goods used solely for renewable energy generation purposes for computing trade statistics. It also highlights goods for which identification is relatively easier and those sectors which appear to be more trade-intensive than others.
At his inaugural remarks in January 2009, US President, Mr. Barack Obama proclaimed: "Our time of standing pat, of protecting national interest and putting off unpleasant decisions-that time has surely passed."

This fifth IEA report under the clean energy technology roadmap series on wind energy discusses the rationale for investing in wind energy, actions and milestones envisioned for its development and the policy frameworks.
A speedy transition to low or zero carbon energy systems is necessary to reach the ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions set for 2050. Governing such a transition without recession or upheaval presents a challenge to
Judged by the sheer number of clean development mechanism (CDM) projects registered and in the pipeline, India undoubtedly can be seen as a success story as far as the functioning of the local carbon market is concerned.

This Worldwatch report focuses on transformation of the global energy system and advocates "unleashing the full potential of energy efficiency in concert with renewable energy resources" for tackling the climate change challenge.
This paper lays out a strategy - a Global Green New Deal - for reducing greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing development. The crux of the strategy relies on a big investment push that quickly lowers the cost of renewable energy.
