Maciej Nowicki, Minister of the Environment, Poland

"This year Poland will host the world conference on the convention of climate change in Poznan in December of 2008. That will be an excellent opportunity for Poland to accelerate all types of reduction of CO2 emissions."

"Poland is an exception in the world scale because we produce energy almost only on hot coal and we must reduce the process step by step. We must develop renewable energy resources but we must also improve our efficiency."
