Committee of Non-governmental Organizations — and Its Role Promoting Renewable Energy

I don’t claim to be an expert at unravelling the lingo surrounding the many NGOs that are a part of the renewable energy movement.  I do, however, want to do my part in promoting the good works of as many of these fine folks as possible.  To that end, I urge readers to check out CoNGO, the Committee of Non-governmental Organizations.

CoNGO represents civil society in issues such as human rights, sustainable development, migration, etc. at the United Nations.  The group has issued a declaration, “Climate Change: Summary and Recommendations to Governments” that will be signed by hundreds of NGOs, then delivered to the PermanentMissions to the United Nations and presented to various actors during the United Nations Framework on Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC) in Cancun this December 2010.
