Abu Dhabi - Energy ministers from across the globe have concluded a meeting here and outlined a roadmap for their next meet in London in 2012, it was announced Thursday.
The clean energy ministerial (CEM2) meeting was organised at the Emirates Palace. Ministers, business leaders and NGOs from about 20 countries participated.
UAE Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, said: "The participating ministers have pledged to focus on giving adequate attention to the recommendations on private-public partnerships, to reduce expensive regulatory infrastructure and to take the initiatives forward, demonstrating that CEM2 is a forum for result-oriented discussions."
Steven Chu, US Energy Secretary, said: "Countries that have gathered here together contribute to 80 percent of the greenhouse emissions. But they are coming together to work constructively to reduce the impact of this through various initiatives.
"That will be the way to lead the economies of the world toward prosperity. Energy efficiency and clean energy are imperative as the world is looking to build 500 new power plants in the coming years.
"This conference gives even more optimism to work together and achieve the goals before we meet again for the next conference in London."
