International conference, organised by the CEE Bankwatch Network, the Polish Green Network, the Heinrich Boell Foundation and the Polish Climate Coalition, took place on the 24th May 2011, in Warsaw, and gathered many interesting guests.     

Two important climate and energy papers were released today by the European Commission in Brussels. The ‘2050 Low Carbon Roadmap’ advocates that Europe should step up to its domestic emission cuts to 25% by 2020. The ‘Energy Efficiency Plan’ recognises that the EU is not on track to meeting its 2020 energy savings target of a 20% reduction in energy use compared to business as usual, and presents chosen solutions, but puts off stronger action measures until 2013.     

We are happy to announce that Climate Coalition has a new member.
