Energy Justice in Native America: A Policy Paper for consideration by the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress
Honor the Earth, Intertribal Council on Utility Policy, Indigenous Environmental Network, International Indian Treaty Council | 2009-01-03
Summary: When considering energy production, resource extraction, housing and energy efficiency, it is essential that the administration take into account the disproportionate impacts of climate change and energy development on American Indian reservations and Alaska Native villages, and the potential for catalyzing green reservation economies. We ask that the administration consult with Honor the Earth, Intertribal Council On Utility Policy and the Indigenous Environmental Network, representing a network of 250 grassroots tribal organizations and tribes, to ensure input from impacted communities is fully taken into account and to ensure Native American participation in the green economy of the future.

International Climate Change Agenda: Opportunities for the G8
Chatham House (Antony Froggatt) | 2008-05-01
Summary: The countries of the G8 have a key role in establishing a global deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not only because they produce 40% of global emissions, but because they can help facilitate the diffusion of the technologies necessary to stabilize the climate. Reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly increased through greater technological innovation and diffusion. This can be enhanced through greater research cooperation, increased targeted finance and deployment agreements.
