ABSTRACT
This chapter updates the analysis and proposals contained in the Thematic Background Paper (TBP) for the 2004 International Conference for Renewable Energies (hereafter Renewables 2004) ‘International Institutional Arrangements. Bundling the Forces – but How?’. The TBP's point of departure was that renewable energy (RE) is an essential component of sustainable development, and should provide a bigger proportion of the world's energy supply.
