Most analysts predict that oil, natural gas, and coal prices will continue to rise over time. The global community also understands that finite and non-renewable sources of fuel are harming the planet and threatening the environmental and economic stability of all nations. It is imperative that decision-makers understand the policy, strategy, economic, and financial options for the development of alternative energy resources. There are exciting opportunities to use public-private partnerships as a tool to develop wind, solar, hydro, and bio-fuel projects. The economic and technological rationale is clear. The key is to understand how to develop viable projects using a combination of incentives to encourage demand and to learn how to plan and structure projects that will attract investment and that meets the need of current and future consumers. To address these issues, IP3's course on Structuring Legal Agreements for Public-Private Partnership Concessions and Contracts will teach participants the requisite skills to be able to identify, structure, procure, finance, negotiate, and monitor public-private partnership and private sector investments in a range of alternative energy sectors. Through presentations and case studies led by expert instructors, site visits, and simulation exercises, participants are expected to apply the knowledge learned and create a special PPP Alternative Energy Action Plan for their own agency.

The question of how to efficiently utilize residual waste has become imperative for numerous reasons – increasing landfill taxes, the drive for a low carbon economy, the requirements of resource efficiency and the search for increased energy security. The value of residual waste is now widely recognized, and the market potential in this sector is considerable. Its use as a fuel source through a variety of technologies is acknowledged in numerous strands of government policy, from the Renewable Energy Strategy, government heat strategy, energy efficiency, low carbon buildings to transport fuels. Energy from Waste 2010 considers all the interconnecting policies and legislation, assesses the hurdles that beset the industry in terms of finance, planning and acceptance, and analyses the latest developments in technologies, feedstocks and markets.

As the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is preparing to ride the post recession wave of direct investment in the country’s economy, particularly in the mining industry, the DRC government is calling for international explorations and operations in its rich mineral territory. Pivotal government officials, international mining houses, mining operators, industry stakeholders, business leaders, multilateral financiers, and suppliers will once again converge to share experiences, explore opportunities and gain practical insight on the lucrative potential of the DRC’s mineral and energy resources. DRC is home to vast reserves of a wide variety of natural resources including base metals such as cobalt, and copper, gold, and precious stones including diamonds. DRC is believed to contain around 4% of the world's copper reserves and one-third of its cobalt reserves. As the global economy begins to resuscitate, the mining sector follows in stride. The DRC witnessed more than $9-billion of investment on behalf of China during the first half of 2009, with capital scheduled to be injected into both mining operations and infrastructure. Although production in the mining sector did suffer directly as a result of the global economic downturn and consequent decline in demand for minerals, the forecast for the mining industry in the DRC is looking wholly positive for a full revival of this sector with renewed opportunity to form public–private partnerships for exploration, extraction and production.
