The World Energy Council's 2015 Executive Assembly and World Energy Leaders' Summit held from 26 to 30 Oct. in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa was wrapped up on Friday.
The message from the World Energy Council's meetings during its Executive Assembly in Addis Ababa is that key actions are required to enable the energy sector to deliver a sustainable energy system, said the statement from the Council.
"The energy leaders' community is increasingly concerned about the slow progress and level of ambition in the negotiations ahead of the COP21 meeting in Paris. We want to affirm to the parties that the energy sector across the world is ready to respond to a strong signal from Paris to accelerate the energy transition," said Christoph Frei, Secretary General of the World Energy Council.
In the message, which has been developed following extensive consultation with energy leaders from the private and public sector around the world Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Blue , the World Energy Council is calling for "a clear carbon pricing scheme in line with the global objectives that will allow all to make efficient economic decisions."
Recognizing the many measures already being undertaken on the ground and to be discussed in Paris, the Council's leadership has highlighted that this measure is the key priority to enable the historic energy transition taking place.
The message urges determined pragmatism from all sides to deliver such a global agreement that enables significant on-going action beyond dogmatism, according to the statement.
In an address to the World Energy Council's annual meeting in Addis Ababa, Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 White , responded to the message, highlighting the leadership of the organisation in the run-up to Paris, and said, "It is encouraging to see the messages from the World Energy Council to the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris."
"These messages are a strong signal that the energy transformation that is by now inevitable, irreversible and irresistible Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Black , needs predictable policy to speed up and scale up," said Figueres.
Marie-José Nadeau, Chair of the World Energy Council, said, "We recognise the difficulty of bringing so many different positions together Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Mens , but from all parts of the energy sector the message is clear - we need a clear signal."
"An energy transition is taking place in many countries, but in the boardrooms and in the energy ministries, leaders need the right framework to enable real world solutions that will unlock the finance and enable the technologies needed to be scaled," she added.
The World Energy Council's message goes on to support the inclusion of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions track in the negotiations.
NAIROBI, April 24 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday unveiled a new malaria vaccine called RTS Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Womens ,S that will be piloted in Kenya, Ghana and Malawi next year to gauge its efficacy and safety.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony in Nairobi, WHO Regional Director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti said the launch of a malaria vaccine developed after years of painstaking research marked a critical milestone in the fight against the tropical disease.
"The prospect of a malaria vaccine is great news. Information gathered in the pilot program will help us make decisions on the wider use of this vaccine," Moeti said.
Combined with existing malaria interventions, such a vaccine would have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives in Africa Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 2018 , she added.
Developed through a public-private partnership, RTS,S malaria vaccine has been recommended by a scientific panel appointed by the WHO to gauge its efficacy.
The selection of Kenya, Ghana and Malawi to participate in the malaria vaccine pilot program was based on their well-laid structures to fight the disease alongside high prevalence levels.
Moeti noted that RTS,S vaccine will complement existing interventions like drugs Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Cheap , indoor spraying and treated nets to vanquish the malaria-causing parasite that is transmitted by mosquitoes.
"We require new diagnostics, more effective anti-malarial drugs and new chemical formulations to prevent insecticide resistance in order to win the war against malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa," Moeti said.
She said the UN Health agency has mobilized funds to support implementation of the initial phase of the malaria vaccine pilot program that covers 2017-2020.
"The vaccine will be assessed as a complementary intervention in Africa that could be added to our existing toolbox of proven preventive, diagnostic and treatment measures," said Moeti.
She said the Sub-Saharan African region prevented an estimated 6.8 million malaria deaths between 2001 and 2015 thanks to political goodwill and robust financing toward prevention and treatment tools.
WHO statistics show that in 2015 Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 China , 13 out of 15 countries accounting for 80 percent of global malaria burden were in Africa.
The director of the WHO Global Malaria Program, Pedro Alonso, urged African governments to scale up investments in proven interventions like insecticide treated nets, indoor spraying and medicines to reduce malaria infections and deaths.
"We have highly efficacious prevention and treatment options that should be scaled up to eliminate malaria in high endemic African countries," said Alonso.
He said the initial pilot program of the RTS Wholesale Nike Air Max 90 Free Shipping ,S malaria vaccine will target 700,000 African children.
