| Summary: | The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a
high-level global forum to promote policies and programs
that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons
learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition
to a global clean energy economy. At the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change conference of parties
in Copenhagen in December 2009, U.S. Secretary of Energy
Steven Chu announced that he would host the first Clean
Energy Ministerial to bring together ministers with
responsibility for clean energy technologies from the
world s major economies and ministers from a select number
of smaller countries that are leading in various areas of
clean energy. Currently, the 23 governments participating in
CEM initiatives are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China,
Denmark, the European Commission, Finland, France, Germany,
India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway,
Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab
Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and
collectively account for 80 percent of global greenhouse gas
emissions and 90 percent of global clean energy investment. |
