CCRM and IREO Announce Partnership to Promote the Implementation of Clean Energy Technology Transfer in Developing Countries to Improve Global Energy Security and Mitigate the Risks of Climate

In the wake of the COP15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, the Columbia Consortium for Risk Management (CCRM) and the Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Organization (IREO) announce a partnership to help meet critical clean energy needs for developing countries. This goal addresses the main risks to global stability in the 21st century created by climate change and poverty.

The partnership will leverage the leading policy research and teaching capabilities of CCRM on the issues of climate risk management and clean energy technology, as well as IREO’s outstanding record of developing long-term partnerships between communities, governments, UN Agencies, and the private sector for sustainable energy programs.

IREO, CCRM, and Humanitad Foundation will co-organize a conference in the Middle East in October 2010, which will bring together various governmental and private sector stakeholders with the intention of taking concrete steps towards global and national policies that will lead to the development of enhanced energy supply critical for economic development while addressing the threat of climate change. This follows a November 12 forum that CCRM and IREO collaborated to hold at United Nations Headquarters in New York, which specifically addressed “Developing Financial and Technical Solutions for Small Island Developing States (SIDS)”.

According to Mr. Robson Mello, Secretary General of IREO, “The partnership between IREO and CCRM will develop a formula for the implementation of local sustainable energy programs that can be replicated globally and also enable developing countries to help address the risk of climate change.” Professor Graciela Chichilnisky, Director of CCRM and architect of the Kyoto Protocol’s carbon market, says “Following our introduction of negative carbon policies in the Copenhagen agreement, the carbon market can fund negative carbon energy sources that stimulate development and reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere in low emitting nations of Africa, Latin America and small island states, thereby achieving an important objective of this partnership with IREO.”

About IREO

IREO aims to meet the environmental challenges posed by the development of human civilization by implementing pilot projects to educate and promote the use of renewable energies around the world. IREO’s vision is to build long-term partnerships and support with communities, governments, the United Nations Agencies, the private sector, NGOs, IGOs, academia and think tanks in order to bring sustainability to communities while creating a better and cleaner world. IREO is an intergovernmental organization formed through a Constituting Treaty by the Official Member States that agreed to form a Collaborative Intergovernmental Cooperative Free Agreement.

About CCRM

The Columbia Consortium for Risk Management generates and disseminates cutting-edge scientific information about the prediction and management of climate and other natural hazards, in combination with advances in risk management and financial engineering. Drawing on Columbia University's data and research in climate prediction and natural hazards, CCRM specializes in the prediction and management of complex and chaotic systems, securitization of insurance risks, fractal statistics, decision theory under uncertainty, financial engineering and stochastic analysis. The Consortium brings together leading researchers from within Columbia University and from around the world, regardless of institutional boundaries, to manage existing and emerging risks. CCRM has received major funding from the six largest reinsurance companies in the world and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) in Arlington, VA.

O Brasil na ONU

O Brasil participa dos processos de tomada de decisão e do trabalho das Nações Unidas principalmente por meio de quatro representações permanentes — nas cidades de Nova York (Estados Unidos), Genebra (Suíça), Roma (Itália) e Paris (França).

A função das representações é acompanhar de perto a agenda da ONU, ter informações mais específicas sobre os trabalhos e ampliar a participação do país no sistema. As despesas são inteiramente custeadas pelo Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil.

Em Nova York
Na sede das ONU, em Nova York, o Brasil mantém a Missão Permanente junto às Nações Unidas , que é chefiada pela embaixadora Maria luisa Viotti. O quadro de serviço exterior — diplomatas, oficiais de chancelaria e assistentes de chancelaria brasileiros — é composto por 32 pessoas, sem contar os funcionários de outras nacionalidades.

Bissau – A Presidente da Configuração Especifica da Comissão das Nações Unidas para a consolidação da paz na Guiné-Bissau, Maria Luísa Viotti, visita a Guiné-Bissau,

A notícia foi avançada esta em Bissau, num comunicado de imprensa do Gabinete Integrado das Nações Unidas de Apoio à Consolidação da Paz na Guiné-Bissau (UNIOGBIS).

A deslocação da diplomata brasileira à Guiné-Bissau enquadra-se na sequência da aprovação, pelo Comité Nacional de Pilotagem do Fundo para a Consolidação da Paz, do exercício de revisão do quadro estratégico da solidificação da paz para a Guiné-Bissau.

De acordo com o UNIOGBIS, a visita da Comissão para a Consolidação da Paz das Nações Unidas tem como objectivo discutir com as autoridades nacionais e com os principais actores envolvidos no processo de reafirmação da paz na Guiné-Bissau, as prioridades das actividades da Comissão para a Consolidação da Paz das Nações Unidas para ano 2010.

Na sua deslocação ao país, Luísa Viotti é acompanhada por representantes diplomáticos, conselheiros e responsáveis do escritório de apoio à consolidação da paz, que irão manter encontros com autoridades nacionais e líderes religiosos, assim como com os representantes da comunidade internacional na Guiné-Bissau.

Segundo as Nações Unidas, a Comissão para a Consolidação da Paz é um órgão inter-governamental do Conselho da Assembleia Geral e do Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas, criado em 2005 com a finalidade de apoiar os esforços das pessoas envolvidas no processo de consolidação da paz nos países em situação de pós-conflito, através da formulação e coordenação das estratégias integradas e da mobilização de recursos técnicos e financeiros.

A Guiné-Bissau integrou a agenda desta comissão em finais de 2007 e, neste quadro, beneficiou em 2008, de 6 milhões de dólares, para a implementação de projectos de reabilitação das casernas militares, de emprego jovem, de reabilitações de prisões e de apoio nas etapas eleitorais, entre 2008 e 2010.
