(g) Raising the profile of energy statistics and energy statisticians at all levels.

Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.

The economic restructuring, as well as removal of subsidies and an increase in prices for imported energy to world market levels, have reduced primary energy consumption, and provided incentives for the introduction of new technology, energy efficiency and energy conservation measures.

Estonia s per capita energy consumption is now at levels similar to those of neighbouring OECD member countries but pollution levels, and the energy and carbon intensity of the Estonian economy, remain higher than in European OECD countries by a factor of two for energy intensity, and a factor of four for carbon dioxide.

(a) Monitor and share information on energy efficiency levels of current and future standards for electrical appliances

The gradual increase of domestic energy prices towards world levels and privatization of industry led to a decline in the energy intensive industrial sector of 40 per cent between 1990 and 1994.

(e) Promoting efforts in research on and development and use of renewable energy technologies at the international and national levels

In the section on energy of this Programme, the need for promoting efforts in research on and development and use of renewable energy technologies at the international and national levels is expressly recognized.

The quot Energy 2000 quot plan issued in 1990 foresees a reduction in CO2 emissions of 28 per cent in 2005 compared to 1988 levels, for the whole of the energy sector excluding transport.

Improving lighting efficiency with energy saving light bulbs and relating controls of light levels to occupancy and natural light conditions and

The national communication projected energy related CO2 emission levels for 1995, 2000 and 2010 which were, respectively, 18, 13 and 4 per cent lower than the 1990 levels.

They can cover levels of tourism (e.g., visitor volumes and dispersal), impacts (e.g., energy and water use), management effort (e.g., funding levels for specific initiatives) and results (e.g., percentage of tourists using public transport).

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

22. Several factors contribute to the disparity in the consumption of energy such as different levels of urbanization, economic activity and living standards.

International organizations and agencies engaged in the collection of energy statistics from countries at the global, regional and sectoral levels and major users of international energy statistics should be invited to join the intersecretariat working group.

It is already clear that achieving sustainable development is not possible without sustainable energy. Indeed, access to energy spurs development on many levels not least in terms of women and their health, safety, and autonomy.

Equipped with sophisticated payloads, sounding rockets flew directly through the auroras, allowing scientists to take direct measurements of the ions apos energy levels.

At the local and household levels, energy services provide the basis for cooking, lighting, water pumping, refrigeration, transport and communication.

Bridging the gap between the public and private sectors is vital to finance the construction of an efficient global energy system. The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2040, the annual investment required in energy supply infrastructure alone will total 2 trillion, up 20 from current levels.

Most long term projections estimate that renewable energy will play a major role in the global energy supply in the second half of this century, but this process can be accelerated through dedicated policy action by Governments at all levels.

Share of renewable energy in energy supply.

To achieve the goal of improving the quality of energy statistics at the national and international levels to better meet the requirements of the users, there is a need to

a In the context of Renewables 2004, renewable energy sources and technologies include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy including biofuels, and geothermal energy.

Noting that the primary responsibility for meeting the energy needs of their populations lay with Governments, the Subcommittee recognized the need for the involvement of other relevant stakeholders at the local, national, regional and international levels to formulate and implement appropriate energy policies and programmes.

Higher food and energy prices put upward pressure on price levels in the subregion, which was partially offset by fuel subsidies in some countries.

Although CO2 mitigation is not the primary policy objective, these regulations affect the amount and share of fossil fuel consumption in primary energy transformation, which influences CO2 levels.

Yet, as the discussion showed, there are important technological and economic issues which call for coherent energy policies both at the national and international levels.

By shifting to alternative energy sources, economizing on energy use, and capturing and safely storing the carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels, global society can limit its emissions of carbon dioxide to prudent levels at an estimated cost of under 1 of global income. The changeover to a sustainable energy system will not come quickly, and will require new kinds of electrical power plants, new kinds of automobiles, and green buildings, which economize on energy use.

AND RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY AND ON ENERGY FOR DEVELOPMENT

Yet at both the global and national levels, energy is poorly governed. 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.

Energy related projects focus on promotion of renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements (supply, distribution and end use), and energy sector management and market reform.

(b) There is a need to strengthen official energy statistics and their link to economic, social and environment statistics at both the national and international levels

First, high commodity prices yield windfall profits for the region s leading producers of raw materials. Growing demand for energy, metals, and minerals particularly in China has driven unprecedented levels of foreign investment.

The World Energy Outlook is considered by most energy experts to be one of the most authoritative projections of energy use.

With prices of finite fossil fuels rising and cereal prices falling to record world market levels, it is becoming economically interesting to use cereals, in addition to straw, for energy production.

Estonia expects to record a 40 50 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions by the year 2000 compared to 1990 levels, primarily through the ongoing process of economic restructuring and removal of energy subsidies.
