Wind & Climate Change
Wind energy is a key solution in the fight against climate change, and the technology is on track to saving 10 bn tons of CO2 by 2020. This means that more than 65% of all emissions reductions pledges tabled by industrialised at the climate negotiations in Copenhagen could be met by global wind energy alone. This document shows that the current pledges can and must be revised.

Wind Power and WaterWind power uses less water than almost any other power generation technology, the Global Wind Energy Council emphasised today, on UN World Water Day. The wind industry calls on policy makers to take this into account in the critical and urgent decisions which will determine the character of the world’s power generation infrastructure for decades to come.

Sectoral Mechanism for Electricity Sector
The sectoral approach analyzed in this paper employs what is known as a “sectoral no-lose target”, coupled with a “sectoral crediting mechanism”. The basic idea is quite simple. Conceptually, it is quite similar to treating an entire sector in a developing country as a CDM project. The paper, which was presented by GWEC and Greenpeace China at the COP14 in Poznan, looks at the mitigation and financing potentials of this approach, with a focus on the electricity sector.

Öko-Institut: Sectoral Crediting Mechanism
This report explores a sectoral crediting mechanism (SCM) for developing countries in a post-2012 UNFCCC climate regime. The report explores how a SCM could be implemented in practice. Different options for designing a SCM are identified and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Based on this analysis of options, a consistent policy framework for the introduction of a SCM under UNFCCC is proposed.
