Definition of energy efficiency improvement project activities The Executive Board agreed to draw up an indicative list of eligible project activities sectors, as proposed in the attachment to annex 2 of the annotated agenda of its third meeting.

Efficient buildings enable countries to produce and consume less energy, which supports economic development, because money is freed up for other projects, while promoting energy security and environmental sustainability.

Other Georgia proposed 10 renewable energy projects targeting hydropower and geothermal energy sources.

(g) Provision of advisory services on capacity building and on establishing pilot projects.

Seven Parties in the region proposed projects targeting hydropower development.

UNIDO's energy efficiency programme addresses the fact that industry is one of the biggest users of energy.

Forty six per cent of the beneficiaries of shelter projects are women.

Hydropower development is another area in which several Parties share common project priorities.

More money from the EU budget now goes to nuclear research than to non nuclear research and development, and more infrastructure funding goes to carbon capture and storage (CCS) and conventional energy than to renewable energies.

China is setting ambitious targets for reducing energy intensity and making massive investments in renewable energy.

Other projects based on renewable energy systems are being implemented in India and Mexico.

In the industrial sector, three Parties proposed projects aimed at identifying energy conservation measures and actions (energy efficiency gains).

These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks.

Five of these Parties also proposed projects that aim at removing energy conservation and efficiency barriers.

Energy can reduce poverty and prevent hunger by facilitating income generating applications, and the establishment of micro enterprises, as well as providing power for pumping water, processing or grinding food, and cooking.

The topic of how to finance renewable energy is the same topic as how to subsidize it. Governments should not concoct programs to lend directly, guarantee loans, or invest in renewable projects on the theory that the private sector somehow lacks this capability.

The ultimate prize is a clean energy technology that is within reach and that could provide the basis for a safe, secure, and sustainable energy future.

Close to 155 billion was invested in 2008 in renewable energy companies and projects worldwide, not including large scale hydroelectric projects, according to a recent UN Environment Program report.

There is a need for public support for renewable energy production via planned usage, for example, public procured renewable energy or planning demands for renewable energy options.

When well insulated, a building is energy efficient, thus saving the owner money.

At the local level, it is difficult to create successful agricultural cooperatives designed to supply renewable energies.

Governments are urged to provide sufficient funding for meaningful projects to address the substance abuse problem.

Funding would be made available for cooperation between municipalities and non governmental organizations (NGOs) and volunteer groups on specific projects.

The political stakes are high, and China s hydropower interests are strong.

Four Parties proposed projects targeting the use of landfill waste water biogas for energy generation.

Emphasizing the importance of efficient and transparent procedures for the award of privately financed infrastructure projects,

Second, we could establish a world economic youth fund to provide financial assistance to entrepreneurship programmes for young people.

UNHCR has taken steps to ensure the involvement of women in implementation of the shelter project and projects related to health, water and employment.

They will also save on investments in new roads, power plants, schools, and other public services.

The meeting stressed the need for adequate resources for energy statistics at both the national and international levels.

Across Europe, calls for affordable energy are fast becoming a euphemism for increased fossil fuel subsidies and a rollback of commitments on green energy.

Others argue that we should try to rebalance the economy not just from rich to poor, but also from energy wasting to energy saving.

Energy projects also could be strengthened, given that energy needs are expected to grow even faster south of the Mediterranean than in Europe.

These poorer outlying regions are hugely dependent on public works projects for employment.

Carbon pricing could be used to finance research and development, and to send a price signal to promote the deployment of effective, affordable technology alternatives.

On the basis of existing networks, African NGOs often constitute ideal partners for the implementation of energy projects.

The provision of rural energy services for productive use conforms to the MDGs and UNIDO's corporate strategy.

In 2008, the Copenhagen Consensus focused the attention of policymakers and philanthropists on investments in micronutrient provision.

A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves.

Tugu was the insurance company that issued the policy to cover one of Magma's geothermal projects in Indonesia.

The International Energy Agency estimates that, to achieve universal access to electricity by 2030, around 33 billion in additional annual investments in the power sector will be needed.

What governments ought to do is stimulate an innovative economy, not endless roads, wind energy and other building projects.

For example, Germany s ongoing nuclear phase out has been complemented by accelerated renewables implementation, with up to 3,000 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity connected to Germany s power grid in a single month.

China plans to double its hydropower capacity to over 120 GW by 2010 and to build more hydropower projects for at least another 20 years.

The compensatory restoration projects are aimed at providing equivalent ecological service gains either in the same area or at other locations.
