More than 20 countries of the Middle East and North Africa Region preparing for renewables 2004

The Government of Yemen invites all decision-makers from the region to the Middle East and North Africa Renewable Energy Conference taking place from 21-22 April 2004 in Sana'a, Yemen. This meeting will act as one of the regional preparatory meetings for renewables 2004.
Participants are expected to discuss all relevant renewable energy issues, amongst them regional cooperation in policy making, technology transfer, research, development, commercialisation capacity, market awareness, and appropriate capital investments to foster the capacity to master the full range of RE applications. They are expected to agree upon common efforts to promote RE in the Region (joint declaration) in order to raise the concerns of the MENA region at renewables 2004 in Bonn. A joint side event for the Bonn conference will be prepared. Federal Environment Minister Juergen Trittin will head the German delegation that includes representatives from German industry and NGOs.
