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
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. 
The intermittent nature of solar energy makes its
use problematic without storage or a backup source
of energy. Southern France is blessed with solar
radiation, and solar energy can offer a partial
solution to the problem of energy supply. The question
we asked: can photovoltaics contribute in a significant
way to power production? 
The
objective of this paper is to show that increasing
electricity consumption per capita can achieve improved
social development and faster economic growth. 
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. 
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.
