Multilateral OrganizationsThese are organizations formed between three or more nations to work on issues that relate to all of the countries in the organization. Global Model IndexIndex contains mainly global socio-economic models, and doesn't address a wide range of other models created to address specific fields such as climate/GCM (general circulation models), manufacturing, traffic/transportation, plant energy exchange, etc. This is clearly a subjective classification.

China's 30 years of Energy Development: Effect on quality of life index
Clean Development Mechanism

China
has experienced remarkable rates of industrial and
economic growth over the past several years. After
the establishment of the Chinese state, the communist
goverments of Mao Zedong and Deng Ziaoping took significant
steps focused on the industrial development of the
country.
The
CDM is only one of the Kyoto Protocol tools. CDM projects
might act as catalysts to spread new technologies
and make them profitable without assistance. It is
not the complete answer to climate change but combined
together with other solutions, it will lead to an
effective decrease of world GHG emissions. This report
shows registered CDM projects around the world to
March 2006.

An Econonic Argument for Adopting a Zero Emission Energy Policy in Australia
The
objective of this paper is to show that increasing
electricity consumption per capita can achieve improved
social development and faster economic growth. 
California is in the midst of a water crisis. By
consensus estimates, climate change is poised to
intensify this crisis in the coming years. Our water
delivery and conservation strategies are outdated
and structurally failing. California’s population
is projected to rise at an alarming rate. More people
mean less available water.
California is in the midst of a water crisis. By
The Republic of Chile has energy shortages and needs energy.
Key factors have contributed to this shortage throughout the past decade, including limited indigenous fossil fuels,
droughts and a natural gas shortage from Argentina in 2004. In addition to energy shortages,
Chile is experiencing economic and population growth. The investment in a renewable energy mix is a high priority to provide a more secure energy supply,
to reduce greenhouse emissions and to supply sustainable and healthier energy.
This report focuses on the analysis of various groups reviewing the renewable energy
potential within France. While those plans have focused on bringing the country to 23%
renewable energy by 2020, this report takes a more agressive view. It raises the
possibility of having France’s electricity powered by 100% renewable energy at the
earliest possible date.
This report focuses on how and whether it is
possible for Germany to have all of its electricity generated by renewable power plants within the next ten years.
It is fairly obvious that if possible, the chances of fruition are extremely low. Nevertheless is it extremely important to show decision makers and leaders the high potential,
technology and possibility of green energy in Germany.
This paper posits that Spain
is theoretically capable of obtaining 100% renewable energy by 2020 -- theoretically only
because of the logistical issues involved. Also, Spain’s slow recovery from the 2008 global
recession has caused some reticence about additional spending. Even with the previously
mentioned factors though, Spain does have other features that enable them to reach 100%
renewable energy. Spain has a well-established foundation. Again, 35% of demand was met
with renewable energy. The installed capacity of renewable energy is constantly increasing.
Spain’s renewable resources provide great potential for the generation of energy.
Some policies have been created to promote and facilitate the usage of renewables.
Access
to affordable clean electricity is fundamental to
daily life and any level of socio-economic development.
Because it is central to all aspects of our lives
- lighting, heating, pumping and purification of water,
agricultural productivity, refrigeration of food and
medicines, sterilization of equipment and many others
- there is an essential correlation between access
to electricity and quality of life.
The
world's oceans may eventually provide us with energy
to power our homes and businesses. Right now, there
are very few ocean energy power plants and most are
fairly small. But how can we get energy from the ocean
that will also be cost competitive?
Native
American tribal lands contain enormous potential for
renewable energy. Developing tribal renewable energy
could provide them with steady revenue and drive the
development of the tribal infrastructure necessary
for the tribes to complete large projects.
Argentina
has great potential for renewables, mainly due to
its varied geography and climate throughout the country.
An example would be that wind power farms could be
installed in more than half of Argentina's Natural
Territory. 
Brazil is one of the fastest growing countries in
the world, and their energy
consumption is following this same trajectory. The
South American country has a choice between developing from mostly
conventional energy, as developed
China
possesses enormous potential for the development of
renewable energy. The government has recently set
targets to be reached by 2010 and 2020 for installed
generating capacity. The two main sources of renewable
energy for China will be from hydropower and wind
power. 
This
report gives an overview of the renewable energies
market in India. We look at the current status of
renewable markets in India, the energy needs of the
country, forecasts of consumption and production,
and we assess whether India can power its growth and
its society with renewable resources. 
The
focus of this paper is to give an overview of the
potential of renewable energy of every country in
Latin America. Five different types of renewable energy
resources exist: solar power, wind power, hydro power,
geothermal and biomass. The purpose of this work is
to contribute to the development of the widespread
use of these renewable energy sources to counter the
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, carbon
dioxide and several other gases in smaller amounts
such as methane and nitrous oxide, whose effects cause
global warming. 
Solar
energy has the potential to equip the Middle East
with centuries of sustainable, clean electricity.
A solar power plant the size of Lake Masser has the
capacity of supplying the electiricty needs of the
entire region.
In
this document, you will find information on the energy
potential on Small Islands States. On each page of
this PDF format, you will find a consistent listing
of renewable resource features presented for each
Island. 
Rural
Electrification contains case studies, personal stories
and more on the 2.8 billion people that live on less
than $2 a day.
This
project focuses on micro-level village sustainable
energy, specifically on electricity. The main question
is, "how do we electrify villages in Afghanistan using
renewable energy?" The paper shows that most problems
that exist in rural areas of Afghanistan, such as
poverty, healthcare, drug trade, and deforestation,
are linked to the lack of access to electricity. The
challenge is to find and describe different ways of
solving these problems. 
This
report focuses on the analysis of various groups researching
the renewable energy potential within the San Diego
Region. While those plans in San Diego's Regional
Energy Strategy (RES) focused on bringing San Diego
County to 40% renewable energy by 20301 , this report
looks further. In a clear and concise manner, it attempts
to raise the possibility of having our electricity
powered by 100% renewable energy. 
This paper investigates ways to retrofit high raise commercial buildings into outstanding sustainable buildings. Looking up in the middle of the busiest cities in the world, we can barely see the sky for the skyscrapers. High rise buildings are cool and modern, but they generate 16 percent of the energy consumption worldwide and 40 percent of the total energy consumptions in the U.S. Carbon dioxide emissions from buildings account for 40% of the total generation of carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. and cost $100 billion annually. Due to global population growth, more energy will be consumed annually; hence, the tremendous release of greenhouse gases will further increase exponentially with the population. Therefore, reducing green house gas emissions is an emergency. 
A

Requirements and Benefits to those Nations Having
High Solar Irradiation Potenial
The
new waste-to-energy plants are cleaner and more efficient
than older models and can generate a fair amount of
energy. This energy, in the form of heat and/or electricity,
can be used not only to power the plants themselves,
but can return a portion to the electrical grid as
well
