Investing just two per cent of global gross domestic product into ten sustainable sectors would be sufficient to jump-start a low carbon economy and accelerate global gross domestic product, a new United Nations report finds. 
More than two-thirds of companies are planning to increase their commitment to sustainability this year, despite the tough economy, according to a new report. 
Many thought leaders have extolled the enormous potential of the smart grid and its value in delivering a worldwide low-carbon economy. But despite this there is an uncertainty about how the business will progress in this decade, according to an executive brief from business intelligence provider Memoori.
The value of private equity and venture capital investment in cleantech companies declined month-on-month in November, erasing two previous months of growth and putting deal volume and value back among the lowest levels recorded this year, according to data compiled by Zephyr and Bureau van Dijk exclusively for NewNet.

Climate change financing will be central to the success of the upcoming United Nations (UN) summit in Cancun, Mexico, and offers the possibility of an agreement on an adequate mechanism to combat global warming, a report by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) said.
The increased level of complexity in the smart grid industry requires an enhanced level of control, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Despite the global recession driving energy consumption lower in 2009 than the previous year, power usage is on the rise in developing nations according to BP's 2010 Statistical Review of World Energy.
