The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is a Vienna-based non-profit, non-governmental organisation that aims to accelerate the marketplace for renewable energy and energy efficiency with a particular emphasis on the emerging markets and developing countries. Its primary focus is the scaling up of clean energy business models. REEEP was originally launched by the government of the United Kingdom along with other partners at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in August 2002. It pursues its market catalyst role in three ways: * Funding small-to-medium scale project interventions that address the barriers to market development and assist business models in scaling up * Providing internet-based information resources such as www.reegle.info, an information portal for clean energy that is funded jointly with REN21 * Connecting and supporting champions of clean energy via several sub-networks of stakeholders. To date the organisation has been funded primarily by governments including: Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, The United States and the European Commission. ==Origins== In 2002, accelerating the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies was one of the priorities of a large group of countries at the WSSD. Margaret Beckett, then UK Minister for the Environment announced the initiative to form REEEP at the summit’s closing session. It grew from an agreement with other committed governments, businesses and NGOs to deliver WSSD commitments others, in particular to take forward the key recommendations of the G8 Renewable Energy Task Force. From January 2003 until May 2004, the REEEP was housed within the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) where it continued following the UN Type II Partnership〔(United Nations Division for Sustainable Development - Partnerships for Sustainable Development )〕 process of stakeholder consultation. In June 2004, REEEP obtained formal, legal non-profit status as an NGO and has since been located at the UN complex in Vienna, Austria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
