Climate Coalition, Warsaw School of Economics, Institute for Structural Reaserch and CEE Bankwatch Network would like to invite for a conference "LOW CARBON ECONOMY - IDEAS FOR CRISIS".     

Yesterday, at COP17 in Durban, Republic of South Africa, Poland was awarded for undermining EU's credibility during negotiations.     

On the eve of start of the Polish EU Presidency more than 140 European civil society organisations – members of Climate Action Network Europe – have backed the call of Polish Climate Coalition to the upcoming EU Presidency.      

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. Foundation GAP Poland (Fundacja GAP Polska) is affiliated with the Global Action Plan International, a network of several national organizations GAP, whose purpose is to motivate and strengthen citizens in making choices in everyday life of consumer-friendly environment.
