Major Group: Science & Technology
Statement by Scientific & Technological Communities
CSD-14 High-level Segment
12 May 2006
During the coming decades, poverty reduction and socio-economic development will bring about
rapidly growing world energy demands. Within a couple of decades, energy demand in today's
developing world will overtake the demand of the developed countries, as implementation of
MDGs is fulfilled. At the same time, we must achieve major reductions of greenhouse gas
emissions.
Science and Technology will be essential to address these problems and to find solutions to
ensure meeting the increase of energy demand in a sustainable manner.
The Scientific and Technological Community is committed to work with all other stakeholders to
this end on the basis of scientiific principles and engineering criteria.
