Friday, Jun 26, 2020
The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), in association with the Korea Wind Energy Association (KWEA), acknowledges and welcomes the presence of those 600 participants attending this Conference from wind and associated renewable energy technologies. The interests include all aspects of sustainable wind technology development, design, manufacturing, operation and implementation, with a special focus on offshore wind power and integrated renewable energy solutions such as hybrid systems.
The Conference recognises the support of the governments, especially of the province of Jeju Island, Korea, Germany, the province of Ontario as well as UNESCO and all organisations supporting the Conference, and applauds their continued support and vision for the accelerated deployment of renewable energy, in particular wind energy, to provide clean energy, to tackle climate change, increase energy security and create new jobs.
The Conference thanks all those who have contributed to its success, especially the Organising Committee, the speakers, the exhibitors and sponsors as well as all the involved volunteers.
The Conference calls on governments and the private sector to recognise renewable energy as an effective and speedy instrument to overcome the current global financial crisis. Such approach has been supported by several reports published by international organisations.
The Conference welcomes the creation of the International Renewable Energy Agency and strongly supports the early establishment of an operational organisation to which WWEA and the International Renewable Energy Alliance have offered their full assistance.
The Conference welcomes the adoption of the Green Energy and Economy Act in Ontario, introducing the first feed-in law in North America less than one year after it was proposed during the WWEC2008 in Kingston. The Conference encourages the Korean Government to implement similar ambitious legislation.
The Conference welcomes that the World Bioenergy Association has joined the International Renewable Energy Alliance so that all the major world technology associations are working closely together.
In addition, and in the pursuit of renewable energy resources, the Conference resolves to pursue the following objectives, policies and actions:
1. remove all subsidies and enforce the internalisation of all externalities to achieve a level playing field;
