International Renewable Energy Agency (EDM909)

International Renewable Energy Agency

EDM number 909 in 2008-09, proposed by Colin Challen on 26/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Renewable energy.

That this House regrets that the UK is not giving the establishment of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) its wholehearted support; notes that global subsidies to renewable energy have amounted to one-eighth of those given to fossil fuels and that a global approach to the promotion of renewable energy is urgently called for; and therefore urges the Government to recognise that it cannot claim to be a global leader on tackling climate change if it is not prepared to will the means to mitigate it and join with 76 other signatory countries seeking to make IRENA work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
