| Description : |
The objective of the assignment is to provide focussed assistance to ADEME in the developments and workprogramme of the Renewable Energy G8 Task Force. In July 2000 the Leaders of the eight major industrialised democracies and the President of the European Commission (G8) met in Okinawa for the 26th Summit. At the Summit the Leaders agreed to set up a Task Force with a remit to identify actions that can be taken to promote a step change in the supply, distribution and use of renewable energy in developing countries. The Task Force was established to identify the main barriers to the use of renewable sources of energy, particularly in developing countries where 2 billion people do not have access to reliable sources of energy. The Task Force is charged with recommending practical actions which G8 governments can take to help remove these barriers. Mr Démarcq, Managing Director of ADEME is member to this task force and Jean-Louis Bal, Assistant Director of Buildings and Renewable Energy of ADEME is member to the G8 Task Force Advisory Group. |
