It is to design plan Fund and encourage

According to the agenda decided in December 2007, it remains six months to reach a global agreement on climate change in Copenhagen. Aspect worrying States negotiate but do not. Each country wondered about the best way to do the minimum to leave the maximum to others, instead of asking how get the maximum for a minimal cost.

Because combat climate change involves emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, which means to choose and thus development of new technologies. To develop next generation nuclear energy, it is necessary to win the confidence of the population. Similarly, it must develop new technologies to use on a large scale solar, wind and geothermal energy. Biofuel is a possible remedy, but only if its development is not agricultural production and the environment.

But the transition to new technologies is not only a question of negotiations. It is to design, plan, Fund and encourage. What would be, for the planet, the best solution to develop, implement and disseminate new technologies Is this a solution for private investors whose billions of dollars would be used to pay prototypes without be sure to receive the benefits How to maintain the incentives for research and development while ensuring technology transfers to developing countries

These are urgent questions. International negotiations focus yet on any other registry, as the pace of the reductions in emissions of each country, what base year level. Each country must reduce here 2020 emissions but without seriously discuss how to get there.

In the United States, for example, a rapid reduction, be in ten years, proceed to the renewal of the fleet by electric cars, renovate and expand nuclear power plants and, especially, to allocate public land to build power plants for energy, especially solar, renewable. America will also need a new network to transport renewable energy low density areas such as the deserts of the Southwest for solar and wind energy Northern Plains at more densely populated coastal areas. All this requires to develop a national plan, not simply to assign an encrypted on emission reduction objective.

China, like the United States, can reduce CO2 emissions through greater energy efficiency and the creation of an electric vehicle fleet. But China must consider the issue from the point of view of an economy based on coal. The choice of China are conditioned on the viability of the "clean coal" solution on a large scale.

Need to open a huge reflection in the world to engage in discussions on the best technologies and possible economic options and the best incentives for research and development. Discussions should focus also on the range of options that opens for each country and region: techniques of capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CCS) to solar, wind and nuclear power.

Should agree to deadlines for a new generation of low emission vehicles, taking into account both of the parameters of the market and public funding.

From these bases, the world could agree on the amount to allocate to the acceleration of the development and dissemination of new technologies low-emissions. This global framework would serve as a base national and global goals for emissions control, and monitoring the progress of technological restructuring. A measure of technological progress, the objectives would become more stringent. Of course, this strategy implies incentives commercial for new low-emission technologies, so that their inventors could develop ideas with the prospect of large profits rewarding the successful experiences.

These discussions on plans and strategies on the margins of the specific objectives assigned to the emissions could appear to interfere with the negotiations. But without strategy to support our objectives, it may be that of at the outset the Governments of the world do not accept these objectives, or that they accept cynically, without the intention of filling them. Need us to really look, and all together real technological options in the world and engage us on a joint plan that allows us to enter into a new era, based on technologies, accessible and sustainable, energy, transport, industry and construction.
