NORAMET: Planning Workshop on Renewable Energy and Climate Science for the Americas Metrology and Technology Challenges
The workshop was held on October 8-9,
2013, in Queretaro, Mexico. More than seventy people from the Americas participated in the workshop
held in conjunction with the 2013 SIM General Assembly. The discussion focused
on various technology areas that contribute to the development of renewable
energy sources, measurements and standards needed to implement such
technologies and to monitor climate change and its impact on human health.
Participants had the opportunity to present the ongoing activities in their sub
region, the policy and regulatory framework under which they are operating and
the capabilities they will need to implement such policies.
Workshop Objectives
Identify technology and metrology areas where training and
sharing of best practices would be most beneficial for countries
of the Americas;
Convene workshops
that would improve local and regional measurement and standards
infrastructure for renewable energy and climate science;
Explore ways to promote regional and international partnerships
to share approaches and best practices for expanded utilization
of renewable energy, measurement of air quality, GHGs and other
pollutants, and efficient energy use and distribution systems;
Develop an initial Action Plan for the Americas.
Participated Countries:
ANDIMET (Countries of the Andean region: Bolivia, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela)
CAMET (Countries of Central America: Belize, Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama)
