International Conventions and Treaties

National and international agencies produce energy reports and recommendations on the general problem of energy. Similarly, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development makes contributions on the plans and objectives to be met to try to mitigate environmental degradation and change and the use of conventional energy sources that cause it. The guidelines that govern the design coming years energy strategy are conditioned by tacit agreements reached, where the future of energy production is based on the nuclear fusion remains unknown, and the development model advocated by the energy-linked welfare growth.

This description largely drowned every possible option to provide a comprehensive solution to the problem of energy, and real nullifies any agreement and declaration of intent by the government.

However, the 1994 Madrid Declaration makes a commitment to execution and performance of an action plan for renewable energy sources in Europe, supported by DG XII, XIII and XVII of the European Commission. The fruits of it are actions included in the continuity and development of energy programs (Thermie, Altener Securities) and support for initiatives such as the World Solar Summit sponsored by Unesco, which show that there is a statement of intent accompanied effective action, aimed at making viable between 2010 and 2015, 15% of primary energy consumption in Europe is conventional renewable sources and that this serves as ideas for the promotion of new initiatives to achieve sustainable sustainably.

Positive action

• Limit pollution, exerting greater control over emissions of pollutants from energy production facilities and reducing the use of fossil fuels. • Promote energy conservation through awareness, changing consumption patterns, research and manufacture of equipment requiring higher energy efficiency and low consumption.
• Diversify energy sources with the gradual replacement of conventional energy sources sources of energy from renewable sources and your own combination.
• Investigate new ways of harvesting and energy storage through the promotion of R & D plans, and support for pilot experiences subsequent application.
• Bringing production centers to consumption sites by harnessing the energy potential of renewable energies, raising the production sites and tending to stop trading with centers of high capacity.
• Establish energy legislation by adopting national legislation, regional and supra giving effect to the recommendations and agreements on environment conservation and equality among peoples.
• Make plans by energy awareness campaigns on the problems generated by certain uses and forms of energy production, and development of educational plans showing the feasibility of using renewable energies, and the need for rational use of energy for sustainable development.
