Dogodek je mogoče označiti za zgodovinsko prelomnico, saj je problematika spreminjanja podnebja končno obravnavana tako resno, kot si zasluži glede na svoje potencialne posledice.

Pravkar predstavljeno četrto poročilo medvladnega panela za podnebje (IPCC) neizpodbitno ugotavlja, da se podnebni sistem segreva, kar bo vodilo k zelo resnim posledicam za človeštvo, kot so povečana pogostost uničujočih vremenskih dogodkov, taljenje ledu, dvig morske gladine ali spremenjeni vzorci padavin. Poročilo potrjuje, da je za segrevanje v zadnjih 50 letih najbolj odgovoren človek, ki je s svojim delovanjem – predvsem neodgovornim ravnanjem s fosilnimi viri energije – povzročil izpust prekomerne količine toplogrednih plinov.

Fokus društvo za sonaraven razvoj in Inštitut za trajnostni razvoj sta ministru Vizjaku poslala pismo, v katerem ga pozivata, naj se v procesu sprejemanja prihodnje energetske politike EU zavzema za trajnostno energetsko politiko.

Ljubljana/Bruselj, 10. januar 2007 – Evropska komisija je danes objavila težko pričakovani sveženj energetskih predpisov, ki naj bi začrtal evropsko energetsko podobo v prihodnosti. Po mnenju Fokus društva za sonaraven razvoj vsebina svežnja Evropi ne bo zagotavila trajnostne energetske prihodnosti. Evropska komisija predlaga nadaljno podporo fosilni in jedrski energiji, namesto da bi začrtala prihodnost, ki bi temeljila na energetski učinkovitosti in obnovljivih virih energije.

Ljubljana, 8.1.2007 – Nekaj okoljskih organizacij se je ostro odzvalo na svarila ministra Vizjaka, da brez nove nuklearke ni dolgoročne oskrbe z elektriko v Sloveniji. Po njihovem mnenju je zavajati državljane z eno možnostjo – gradnjo nove nuklearke – neodgovorno dejanje, še posebej v luči marginaliziranih ukrepov za učinkovito rabo energije.
