339W
§ Mr. Moynihan"Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The Energy Dimension" was produced by the secretariats of the International Energy Agency—IEA—and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development—OECD—with the guidance of their relevant committees. An earlier version was provided as informal input to the deliberations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—IPCC. As its explanatory note makes clear, the report reflects the perspectives of the secretariats and not necessarily those of all the IEA and OECD member countries.
The Government regard this report as another useful contribution to the discussion on global climate change. It represents a view assembled by the IEA and OECD secretariats at a particular time, and a wide range of further work is continuing, both in international organisations and in countries. For that reason, the Department does not propose to offer a technical review of the report.
