Who can Participate in an IA? Governmental offices or organizations designated by a government of any country may participate as Contracting Party. (Participation in the CERT or Working Parties is reserved to OECDmembers. Other countries may be invited as Observers.)
Any public or private organization, international organizations, or non-governmental organizations may participate as Sponsor. Each IA signatory designates a representative to sit on the Executive Committee (ExCo) that governs the work of the IA as well as the joint projects. IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

Steps for participation in an IA If your organization is interested in participating in an IA, the first step is to contact the Chair, the Operating Agent or the Executive Secretary and to discuss together the win-win of working together. Thereafter follows an exchange of formal letters of invitation and acceptance between the Executive Committee of the IA and the interested party. Then approval by the CERT is required.
The final step is the signature of the Implementing Agreement. IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

Considerations for the CERT Strategy 2012-16 • The world in which we act • Changes that occurred in the last 5 years • Changes (if any) in spirit and style (GB, Standing Committees and Secretariat) • CERT acts on behalf of the GB, but likewise it acts as ambassador for the autonomous Implementing Agreements and Expert Groups • The roles and strategies of the Working Parties and Expert Groups And surely there is more to consider IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

A strongly changed environment • Non-OECD countries account for 87% of the increase in global demand between 2006 & 2030, driven largely by China & India. • The shuttered world economy makes new investments difficult. Immediate needs for the BLUE Map Scenario (minus 50% CO2-emissions by 2050) are over 10 Trill $. • Instead of rigorous funding decisions, the G8, G20 and IEA Ministerial Meeting launch new initiatives with unclear budget commitments. • New initiatives such as IPEEC and IRENA compete with the IEA for funds and human resources. new: LCETP IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

WEO, ETP and Roadmaps: strong publications We know that each scenario is wrong. But the comparison of scenarios offers some insight.” (GianCarlos Tosato, ETSAP) World Energy Outlook (WEO) • The classical best-seller of the IEA
Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) • First issue 2006 with • Joins now the WEO as best-seller Roadmaps • Initiated by G8 in 2008 (Hokkaido, Toyako) IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

ETP 2010: The context •
Need a global energy technology revolution to meet climate change and energy security challenges.
•
Some early signs of progress, but much more needs to be done. Which technologies can play a role? What are the costs and benefits?
What policies are needed?

ETP 2010: Technology policies
• Public RD&D spending must increase 2 to 5 times current level
• Governments need to implement best practices in energy RD&D • A number of enabling actions are also needed: Private sector leadership
Greater government outreach and planning on infrastructure
• •
needs Expanded human capacity with more effective international collaboration Carbon pricing is important, but should be complemented by other policies Policies must be tailored to the technology’s stage of development

ETP 2010: Policies for supporting low-carbon technologies
Supporting policies need to be appropriately tailored to the stage(s) of technological development. IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT

WEO, ETP and Roadmaps: basis for decisions Scenarios and roadmaps show us problems and needs.
But: how to stay on track? The CERT continuously discusses • The use of Roadmaps for policy making • Are we doing enough for the implementation of Roadmaps? Decisions are easier if popular • Money is tight • Politicians want to be re-elected How to create popularity for our issues? IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT
18
The importance of science Wealth decreases if you keep on spending it. Knowledge increases the more you distribute it. • Policy is strongly limited by country-borders, not so science • Innovative policy is dependent on technological progress and input from science We have to foster and strengthen the scientific community by • Stronger international RD&D collaboration • Stronger visibility and outreach of scientific results • More funds for demonstration and pilot plants Meetings of Scientists and Engineers foster the sense of solidarity in an inevitably increasing inter-dependency. To make this possible is the main task of the CERT. IEA / CERT, Istanbul 13-14 January 2011 Peter Cunz, Chair CERT
