Clean energy, int'l financial system hot topics of G20 meeting
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-09-15 18:10 Clean energy and the reform of the international financial system will top the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the Group of 20 (G20) in the US city of Pittsburgh, which is scheduled for September 24-25, a Mexican expert told Xinhua in an interview on Monday. Tomas Milton, an expert on international relations at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said that the use of clean energy, as a way to address climate change, has been a leading topic for the G20 nations at several international fora this year, alongside other burning topics including the economic crisis and how to prevent a repeat of 2008's world-battering recession.
The fund, proposed during the Mexico round of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate in June, would share out $10 billion by the World Bank to nations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, allowing emerging nation governments to invest more in such industries and projects. "The fund could be a great opportunity for nations to get resources to invest in clean energy technologies. Pittsburgh could be a great opportunity to carry out the plan," Milton said. Emerging market nations and businesses can and do go to international markets to borrow money for clean energy projects, but the fund, if approved, could dramatically accelerate the progress that is being made, Milton said.
