Two International Conferences in China Highlight the Importance of Wind Energy

While the UN climate talks at Tianjin went slowly, a trip to China offered the opportunity for the world to see the successes in wind technology development and deployment experienced there and throughout the region. This progress was highlighted in both a wind-focused side event at the Tianjin conference that Joanna Lewis organized for Georgetown University, and at the annual China Windpower 2010 conference held in Beijing the week after the climate talks.

The Georgetown side event examined models of building renewable energy industries, with specific examples from China and other Asian countries that have become technology leaders in key renewable energy technology industries. Existing renewable energy technologies play an important role in climate change mitigation, and are being developed right now, even as negotiations continue.
