Day by day we hear more disturbing news about the "Climate Change" that is happening all over the world. More and more people are getting seriously impacted by increasingly strong and more frequent hurricanes. We hear about unprecedented droughts in one area while there is severe flooding in another. People are forced to leave entire regions due to desertification of the land.

Many scientists today accept that we are in the midst of a dramatic and accelerating climatic shift. There seems to be no viable solution and there is no clear vision of where we are heading. It is becoming increasing clear that this climatic shift will pose enormous costs for most countries and there is a distinct possibility that the world economic structure and balance will be irrevocably destroyed. Every person living on this planet will ultimately have to face the consequences of dramatic environmental changes which are induced by human intervention in the delicate ecological balance of nature.

As per the latest UN report, Scientists have determined that the main causes of these changes are toxic emissions from industries and motor vehicles throughout the world. Increasing global pollution levels and urbanization together with rapid deforestation add to these problems.

Achieving a secure, efficient and clean energy supply is one of the major issues facing the world community. The growing scarcity and lack of availability of fuels remains a serious problem for many and the consequential depletion of precious financial, environmental and time resources affects all humanity. It seems clear, that humanity has reached a crossroads and an immediate shift in the used technology has to take place.

Since long alternatives have been shown and tested. One of the most promising technologies is the area of renewable energies. Our sun sends daily more than 100 times enough energy to our planet to easily cater for all our energy requirements.

Renewable energy technologies offer a sustainable and clean solution for bringing power to the people, whether in an urban or rural setting. What is urgently needed is a shift in Values, Policies, Education and Awareness. Here is where Non -Government organizations can play a major role.
