WCRE Update August, 4, 2004

The most recent print issue of the ^ÓSolarzeitalter^Ô (Solar Age) has
published a comparison of several political declarations postulated on
occasion of the resolution of the International Conferences for Renewable
Energy in Bonn this year:
- the World Renewable Energy Agenda of WCRE/EUROSOLAR, May 31, 2004
- the Political Declaration of Renewables 2004, June 6, 2004
- the Resolution of the International Parliamentary Forum on Renewable
Energy, June 2, 2004
- the International Youth Summit on Renewable Energy, May 31, 2004, and
- the Declaration of the Citizens United for Renewable Energy and
Sustainability (CURES).

Please find the synopsis attached (word document: SynopsisEnglish.doc).

Among other aspects the synopsis of the German Magazine of EUROSOLAR and
WCRE shows that the Political Declaration of the Governmental conference
and the Declaration of the Citizens United for Renewable Energy and
Sustainability are lacking of any calls for new international treaty
arrangements for the promotion of renewable energy. Both of these
declarations are also weak in demanding effective international
institutional measurements that could facilitate a faster dissemination
of renewable energy technologies. However, in particular, international
institutions and treaty arrangements are essential to create at least an
equal institutional counterpart to international fossil and nuclear
energy institutions like the International Atomic Energy Association or
the International Energy Agency.

The World Renewable Energy Agenda of WCRE and the resolution of the
International Youth Summit on Energy are more expressive concerning new
institutional measurements. Even around 300 elected Parliamentarians from
80 countries show that a lack of activities for renewable energy cannot
be compensated solely by international conferences, informal networks or
consensual approaches, but only by effective institutionalized
measurements.
