A sustainable biofuels consensus

Mar 2008

In the Rockefeller Foundation Study and Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy, a group of women and men, based in 12 different countries and heavily involved, from different perspectives, with biofuels met during 24-28 March 2008. Inspired by the original proposal of Prof. John Mathews, of Macquarie University, Australia, to focus on “Prospects for Global Biopact between North and South on Biofuels”, a pact to sustainable free global trade in biofuels, they came to a consensus on an approach for the sustainable trade, use and production of transport biofuels.
They stressed the urge for all the biofuels’ stakeholders in the world to adopt this consensus and to take action, and to help achieve this goal they will utilize every opportunity to disseminate the SBC by stimulating initiatives that implement the Consensus on a global scale.
