International Conference for Renewable Energies, Bonn 2004
11 June 2004
The conference charted the way towards an expansion of renewable energies worldwide, responding to the call of the Johannesburg summit in 2002 for the global
development of renewable energy. It also kept up the momentum generated by the coalition of like-minded countries for promotion of renewable energies (known as the Johannesburg Renewable Energy
Coalition, JREC). More than 1000 participants met in Bonn, among them official governmental delegations from some 90 countries including energy, environmental and development ministers,
representatives of the United Nations and other international and non-governmental organisations, civil society and the private sector.
