The europens and its Kyoto Protocol, have a challenge ahead. The EU15 can fulfill its objective of Kyoto Protocol for 2012, consisting of one reducing to the gas discharges of effect conservatory to 8 per 100 below the 1990 levels, well, just if the Member States now apply all the anticipated additional policies, according to indicates to the last report (november.2007) of the European Environment Agency.

The report has special importance given the just a short time remaining one before the “first period of commitment” of the Kyoto Protocol, which extends from 2008 to 2012.

The report displays an evaluation of the data corresponding to period 1990-2005, and evaluates the projections of the Member Stateson the future emissions, offering good indicators about the advances obtained in the accomplishment of the objectives of Kyoto Protocol.

According to the reports:

- The emissions of the EU15 were reduced between 2004 and 2005 in 0.8 per 100.
- The emissions of the EU15 reached an inferior level in 2 per 100 to the year of reference of Kyoto Protocol.

Being based on projections of the Member States, the report indicates that the existing policies and national measures going to reduce to the gas discharges of effect conservatory of the EU15 in 4,0 per 100 with respect to the year of reference. If the additional policies and national measures are considered (that is to say, those that are still predicted but not they apply), the diminution will be of another 3,9 per 100. The anticipated use of the mechanisms of Kyoto Protocol on the part of ten of the countries of the EU15 will reduce the Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2,5 per 100 additional. The europeans Governments have reserved 2 900 million €uros to such aim.

According to the report, the market for trading carbon dioxide emissions within the Kyoto Protocol will be the main instrument, since it will allow important reductions of the emissions between 2008 and 2012. Esteem that going to obtain a reduction of at least 3,4 per 100, partly already reflected in the projections of some States members. It could represent at least 1,3 per 100 additional the reduction of 11,4 per 100 of the emissions of the year of reference in the EU15.

The climate change is one of the most famous Topic around the World, in the past just groups like Greenpeace, Scientifics, academics and others similar was debating about the climate change challenge.

In my opinion one the best answers for this challenge is to develop a new energy culture, a new customs, but I know is a little complicate, because we need invest an important time to convince about thins kind of importance between climate change, energy and economic development for the World.

In another hand, is interesting to find several technologies in the markets but some of them are so expensive (yet) for the governments and society. One of the favorites renewable energy for the people is produced from the sun power. By 2010, solar cell manufacturing is expected to be a $25 billion-plus industry and the cost to the consumer could be as low as $2 per watt, about half the current cost of solar panels. For this reason I want write about The Solar Power 2007 conference in Long Beach, California. Where number of companies, from installers to panel producers are taking different routes to try to improve the economics of purchasing rooftop solar panels. Bringing down the high costs of solar compared to other forms of energy is one of the most interesting areas of discussion planned for the conference in California. This kind of conference should be multiplicated around the world to convince about the opportunity business with the solar power and how this help to the climate change. But our first step is talk with people, with the citizens, with governments, with everybody. So the energy should be important for all (because is important) and not only for Greenpeace, Scientifics, academics, companies, and whatever..

If you have a piece of time, explore the website of California´s Solar Power Conference and take note about its future events.
