Germany is undertaking the Energiewende, or transition to sustainable energy a remarkable effort (indeed, unprecedented for a large advanced economy) to meet the country s entire energy demand with renewable energy, especially solar and wind power.

Sustainable energy development

But, in the long term, the challenge is how to make the transition to a new and sustainable energy path, and to evaluate the political, economic, social and climate costs associated with this transition.

Subprogramme 5 Sustainable energy

Seventh, the transition to sustainable agriculture must be completed.

It is already clear that achieving sustainable development is not possible without sustainable energy.

Voluntary repatriation and the need for sustainable reintegration and transition towards development

Germany, for example, is planning the world s most ambitious low carbon energy transition, based on energy conservation and renewables.

Encouraging sustainable local enterprises that can deliver reliable energy services based on renewable energy technologies

Achieving sustainable energy for all requires women s full participation.

The NGO representative outlined the importance of energy conservation and usage in sustainable development, explaining that all the MDGs rely on a sustainable supply of energy.

Ongoing activities include the development of standards and recommendations in sustainable transport, promotion of energy efficient technology and energy efficient investment projects and promotion of sustainable forest management.

Some key barriers to the achievement of sustainable energy goals include

(b) More sustainable energy production. In order to escape from this unsustainable situation, farmers in Kenya are making significant efforts to use available sources of energy in a more sustainable way.

The fiasco of the Copenhagen climate summit is just one illustration of how far the world is from being able to bring about the desperately needed transition to a system of sustainable and secure provision of energy services.

It impedes sustainable development through the destabilization of States, particularly emerging democracies and nations in transition.

Sustainable energy and maintenance of natural resources for poor and rural people.

(a) Sustainable energy use in the Canadian agriculture sector is currently limited.

Haiti s transition to effective and sustainable statehood is therefore also vital for establishing a prosperous border regime.

We believe that quantum leaps are needed to make the transition to sustainable forms of industrial development.

Enhancing energy conservation and efficiency are key for decoupling economic growth from increased energy use, and thus for driving sustainable development worldwide.

The FAO's report highlights the need to develop sustainable energy sources and to promote the use of fossil fuels and solar energy.

The creation of an appropriate enabling environment (including technical and institutional capacities) is key to such sustainable transition.

Providing sustainable energy for all will create new opportunities for women elsewhere as well.

General description Energy is an essential building block for sustainable development and fighting poverty.

Acknowledging that increased use of new and renewable sources of energy could offer important options for the provision of energy for sustainable development and increased access to modern energy services,

The focus has been on buying time, rather than on implementing a sensible transition to a sustainable policy stance.

Let us presume, finally, that by 2050, all electricity production has made the transition to low carbon energy sources.

They also work with the Institute for Energy Alternatives (IDEA) on energy saving ideas, and more sustainable forms of transportation to and from work.

The rich world somehow expects poor countries to restrict their use of fossil fuels without any significant help in financing new and sustainable sources of energy. In almost all of the rich country proposals about targets, limits, commitments, and permits for greenhouse gases, there is hardly a word about helping poor countries to finance the transition to sustainable technologies.

The Commission on Sustainable Development in particular ought to consider issues relating to the energy crisis.

Sustainable energy has been able to compete with non renewables only in very select niche markets

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.

UNIDO will focus on activities related to rural and renewable energy, industrial energy efficiency, cleaner and sustainable production, water management, and Montreal and other international protocols.

Seventh, we need to sustain political will and attention until a country has made the transition to development and sustainable peace.

Recalling the recommendations and conclusions contained in the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development ( Johannesburg Plan of Implementation') concerning energy for sustainable development,

Germany has taken the first step, but the transition to a fully renewable energy based economy must be a common European effort.

Although energy technologies are rapidly developing, it is widely acknowledged that existing solutions are not yet sufficient to meet the world's growing energy needs in a sustainable manner.

(d) Unfortunately, in Canada, a comprehensive strategy to address high energy costs in the agricultural sector or to encourage sustainable energy use on farms has not been developed.

Meeting the world's rapidly growing energy demands in a sustainable manner will require drastically increasing the efficiency with which energy is produced, delivered and used, and will require utilizing a diverse mix of energy sources and technologies.

9. Encourages the United Nations system to continue to raise awareness of the importance of energy for sustainable development, including the need for the increased use and promotion of new and renewable sources of energy, particularly in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication

This is not the only reason why looking more closely at energy and carbon taxes makes sense. The current framework for energy taxation, particularly in Europe, is not sustainable.
