At a press conference in London on Tuesday, 10 November, the IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka and Chief Economist Fatih Birol presented the results of the World Energy Outlook 2009 (WEO). The WEO 2009 looks at the impact of the economic downturn on energy use, CO2 emissions and energy investment and what will be required at the UN climate conference in Copenhagen to put together an agreement that stops global temperatures rising at a price that is affordable. The WEO also focuses on the natural gas resource base, current trends and the role gas will play in the future energy mix. The book includes a review of energy in Southeast Asia, looking at this fast-growing region and its implications for global energy markets.

È una corsa contro il tempo, nel tentativo di riallineare due orologi. Il primo, velocissimo, scandisce il ritmo del dissesto atmosferico; il secondo, assai più lento, segna il passo della politica.

Negli ultimi anni, i cambiamenti climatici si stanno imponendo sempre di più all’attenzione mondiale, non solo per la loro capacità di influenzare, a volte drammaticamente, la vita delle singole persone, ma anche per le implicazioni strategiche che riguardano gli Stati.
New York: UN Summit on Climate Change
Nearly 100 world leaders have accepted UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s invitation to participate in an historic Summit on Climate Change in New York on 22 September to mobilize political will and strengthen momentum for a fair, effective, and ambitious climate deal in Copenhagen this December.
“Failure to reach broad agreement in Copenhagen would be morally inexcusable, economically short-sighted and politically unwise,” the Secretary-General said in his opening address. “Now is the moment to act in common cause.”
The Summit marks the first UN visit for the Presidents of China and the United States as well as the newly elected Prime Minister of Japan. .
