Declaration of like-minded countries on increasing the share of renewable energies

(September 2002)

In the final phase of the Johannesburg Summit, the European Union submitted a declaration of like-minded countries on increasing the share of renewable energies. In this declaration, the signatory states commit themselves to ambitious objectives at global, regional and national level, with clear schedules, for the increased use of renewable energies. Besides the European Union, supporters include a large number of other countries such as Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Czech Republic and the group of island states particularly affected by climate change. The international conference on renewable energies, which was announced by federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder in Johannesburg, can play an important part in the implementation of this initiative.
