Australia urged to take greater role in renewable energy ABC Rural News  27/01/2009 Australia is being urged to take a more active role in a new international renewable energy agency, IRENA, that’s meeting for the first time today.Chairman of the International Renewable Energy Alliance, Peter Rae, says the Australian Government only has observer status at this week’s IRENA founding conference in Bonn.He says Australia is missing an opportunity to develop renewable energy policies, and set an example on sustainable living.”The Federal Government certainly could take a much more active role,” he says.”I just think we need to upgrade what we’re doing and look at it as being part of a world scene and take a leadership role in relationship to the development of renewable energy.”
