Independent Report on Future Global Climate Deal

The economist Nicholas Stern has released a report that seeks to form the basis for future discussions of climate change. The stated purpose of the report is "to to put forward a coherent set of proposals on global policy that satisfy three basic principles: Effectiveness – it must lead to cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the scale required to keep the risks from climate change at acceptable levels; Efficiency – it must be implemented in the most cost-effective way, with mitigation being undertaken where it is cheapest; and Equity – it must take account of the fact that it is poor countries that are often hit earliest and hardest, while rich countries have a particular responsibility for past emissions."

Lord Stern previously served at HM Treasury, the World Bank, and the European Bank for Research and Development. This report was written in preparation for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 15th Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen in December 2009.

United Kingdom Moves Forward on Hydrogen Standards

The British Standards Institution, supported by the United Kingdom Hydrogen Association, will take on an increased role in the development of international standards for hydrogen technology. The BSI will engage with the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committee 197 for Hydrogen Technologies. This committee's scope is "standardization in the field of systems and devices for the production, storage, transport, measurement and use of hydrogen."

Deputy Mayor kicks off the London Schools Hydrogen Challenge

A new competition to encourage London schoolchildren to think about cleaner energy and how it will help reduce the capital’s impact on climate change will be launched by Deputy Mayor Nicky Gavron on Wednesday 19th September at City Hall.

The London Schools Hydrogen Challenge, www.lshc.co.uk, is an interactive educational science programme developed by the London Hydrogen Partnership. The Challenge, which has been created in partnership with BMW (UK) Ltd, is aimed at schoolchildren aged 11 to 14 years old across all 33 London boroughs. To encourage schools to sign-up to the Challenge a first prize of £1,000 is being offered. Schools that have completed the Challenge successfully will be invited to compete in the Grand Final at City Hall in June 2008.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
