Cuba to Present Energy Program at UN Meeting

HAVANA, Dec 12 (acn) Cuba will make a presentation on its 'Energy
Revolution' during the UN-organized conference on climate change taking 
place in Indonesia.

Cuban Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Environment Jose
Antonio Diaz Duque is heading the island's delegation to the meeting.

In statements published by Juventud Rebelde newspaper, Diaz Duque said 
the UN has recognized Cuba's energy-saving program. He explained the 
country expects to contribute with the reduction of gas emissions that 
cause the greenhouse effect, even though the island's limited releases 
have a very low impact on the world.

Cuban representatives will also talk about programs led in the country 
to increase forested areas, which cover early 25 percent of the island.

Likewise, other environmental programs will also be presented --
including land recovery and preservation plans, and the rational use of
water.

Cuba, which was invited to the UN's conference on climate change as a 
developing country, is expected to call for the commitments agreed to 
in the Kyoto Protocol be observed, while denouncing the US’ refusal to 
ratify the agreement.
