... and things keep happening at a breathtaking pace.

Together with the Press & Communications section, we have been involved in consultations with opinion polling centres interested in carrying out research on climate change perception among Polish people. It is one of the most interesting social projects we have the pleasure to support. I'm very glad to be able to be a part of it.
 
Over the last few weeks, a number of new ideas for cooperation with Polish partners have reached our Climate and Energy Team. Most of them involve presentation of UK experience in fighting climate change, including the use of new technology, improving energy efficiency or increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy generation and distribution systems. Some of those projects would be worth implementing before the end of the financial year (that is before the end of March). Others will have to wait until April. Some examples of projects implemented with our support in 2008 can be found on our website.

Dzien dobry Agnieszka! I think it is very encouraging that there seems to have been such a high level of interest in low carbon technologies among Polish organisations. I wonder if I could ask a few questions in relation to these initiatives: 1 Regarding CCS, how would the captured carbon be physically stored and where? 2 Given the significant, and increasing, carbon emissions associated with the mining and enrichment of nuclear fuels, are nuclear technologies still considered to be a low carbon solution in comparison to traditional, fossil fuel based energy sources? 3 Finally, what specific renewable energies are being proposed for development within Poland? I look forward to your future postings. Stuart
