Environmental, climate, and energy issues concern everyone.

New energy and environmental technologies will undoubtedly drive growth in the future.

Nuclear energy Nuclear energy began by being one of the classic enemies of the environmental movement.

The IAEA's energy assessment services build a State's capability for energy analysis and energy planning, taking into account the country's economic, environmental and social development needs.

(a) Limiting environmental pollution and desertification and rationalization of the management of water resources and energy.

Investment in alternative energy technologies like solar and wind is no longer peddled on environmental grounds.

(d) Improving the coordination of energy statistics with social, economic and environmental statistics at the international level

We believe that nuclear energy, when produced in accordance with safety and environmental procedures, can be a useful way of meeting the increasing energy demand worldwide.

Artificial photosynthesis combines these features in a viable technology that promises energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic stability.

We must see environmental problems and energy scarcity for what they are threats to mankind as a whole.

Noting that, in addition to increasing the efficiency of energy production and use, expanding the use of new and renewable sources of energy and advanced clean energy technology offers options that could improve global and local environmental conditions,

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.

For security and environmental reasons, their energy efficiency increased via a combination of taxes, higher consumer prices, and public education.

This crisis could help formulate a new approach increase access to reliable, affordable and renewable energy services for sustainable development, promote energy efficiency to make sure economic growth does not raise energy demand and environmental degradation, including climate change.

This will promote specific environmental and energy related technologies, and stimulate investment and technology flows from developed countries to developing countries, while also enabling the implementation of clean technology and energy efficiency projects.

Applications of industrial and environmental biotechnology promise to cut the cost of production, the number of processing steps and energy consumption.

Numerous coalitions emerge to take on the challenges of economic development, energy security, and environmental pollution through cross border cooperation.

For example, improving energy efficiency and material use efficiency has been undertaken in many sectors under cleaner production and environmental management initiatives.

International concern and debate over energy has grown increasingly over the past two decades, with the issues of poverty alleviation (energy for the poor), environmental risks and climate change now taking centre stage.

In April 2005, experts from Brazil, China and India discussed a proposal to establish an energy service company industry in order to lower substantially economic, social and environmental costs in the energy field.

In the Eastern Mediterranean subregion, Governments need to incorporate into their economic development efforts the necessary energy related and environmental concerns.

Progress also depends on sector strategies, including strategies for agriculture, infrastructure, forestry, fisheries, energy and transport, which all require environmental safeguards.

The region also suffers negative environmental impacts from prevalent practices in energy and water, in addition to those generated by instability.

Wind energy can make a significant contribution to Canada's electricity needs while providing a broad range of economic and environmental benefits.

Such unprecedented and unplanned urbanization wreaks environmental havoc by increasing carbon emissions, since higher population density results in greater automobile and energy use.

His Government encouraged the promotion of national and international awareness on energy efficiency, and the adoption of an integrated approach to environmental sustainability.

However, such biological nanomotors are designed to work in specific environmental conditions (pH, liquid medium, sources of energy, etc.).

(e) Supporting those arrangements for regional and subregional cooperation in energy and water resources and environmental protection that are entered into by member States.

Ecological engineering was introduced by Howard Odum and others as utilizing natural energy sources as the predominant input to manipulate and control environmental systems.

By maintaining high environmental standards, and promoting such standards among its trade partners, Europe can bolster the global market for clean energy technologies.

From environmental degradation through international lawlessness to energy crises, it is the small States that are often the first victims.

I think future engineered species could be the source of food, hopefully a source of energy, environmental remediation and perhaps replacing the petrochemical industry.

So it is clear that some countries now view environmental investments in infrastructure, energy systems, and ecosystems as among the best bets for recovery.

But make no mistake despite its less than constructive role in multilateral efforts, China is not just sitting still on energy and environmental issues.

By helping China in the areas of energy and environmental issues, perhaps the scars left from the war with Japan may begin to heal.

These will include considerations in the field of environmental requirements and market access for developing countries, trade liberalization in environmental goods and services, the promotion of production and use of renewable energy, and the protection, preservation and sustainable use of traditional knowledge.

While there is no goal on energy, it is central to meeting the other MDGs, especially those concerning poverty and hunger, universal education, and environmental sustainability.

According to him, it is imperative to address the country's infrastructure especially roads and the energy sector as well as to combat deforestation and environmental degradation.

(e) Supporting innovative and pragmatic approaches in capacity building of both human resources and institutions of ESCAP members and associate members in the area of sustainable development, focusing on energy, water and environmental resources as well as implementation of multilateral environmental agreements

Closed loop recycling, in which plastics waste is used to make another product, thus carries significant environmental benefits, such as reduced energy and oil consumption.

Last month, China announced a 586 billion economic stimulus package, some 25 of which is to help bolster conservation, environmental protection, and renewable energy efforts.

Trade unions support the transition to clean energy for environmental reasons as well as for the promise it holds for revitalized national economies and employment.

These include, among other things, national cleaner technologies strategies, environmental management accounting, integrated water resources management, energy for sustainable development and social impacts of mining

In that regard, we ask the Commission to establish that clean energy can no longer be viewed as simply an environmental issue .

(d) Promoting policy dialogues that integrate environmental considerations into overall economic and social development plans, as well as in specific sectors such as energy and water resources
