This week, the summary for policymakers of the ‘Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation’ (SRREN) has been approved by government representatives for IPCC member countries in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. “With consistent climate and energy policy support, renewable energy sources can contribute substantially to human well-being by sustainably supplying energy and stabilizing the climate”, Edenhofer said. “However, the substantial increase of renewables is technically and politically very challenging.”
The German federal environment minister Norbert Röttgen as well as the federal minister for research Annette Schavan will be attending the presentation of the SRREN at the Technical University of Berlin on May, 16th. About one thousand guests from business, science, and politics are expected to attend. Everyone interested can register for this event.
