Internet Presentation Contact lists (800 organisations) Newsletter Educational information Distance Education (DIERET)

Sustainable Energy News INFORSE activities, positions International processes (UN meetings, NGO part.) Regional News Publications Coming events Technical development Contact lists Subscription fee 25 US$

Economy From the publication of Sustainable Energy News, and some other activities was supported by the Danish state. Now it is financed through subscriptions, but still free for members and available online. Other activities have been reduced and are temporary working with support from EU, project support and remaining funds.

Challenges To maximise activities with available funds. To increase contacts worldwide to active NGOs sustainable energy. To define new projects and find funds. It is important to be hosted by a ”mother” organisation, so the costs are marginal.

Future Network with variable budget, hosted by a “mother” organisation like OVE. Newsletter for subscribers. Increase internet based resources. Increase regional activities, based on the Regional Coordinators and Members.
