to raise awareness with political and economic decision makers of the necessity, opportunities and advantages of renewable energies for peaceful co-operation for climate, energy and water supply security in the joint regions of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EUMENA)
to unlock the enormous unused potentials of RE in the EUMENA Region through co-operation as if there were no borders, for pursuing the common goals of: global climate stability, long term energy and water supply security, economic development in the MENA countries and sustainability as vision uniting the regions of EUMENA

A MENA-wide register of water and power demands by urban centers.
Jointly with the Club of Rome: Initiative for a community of sustainable water and energy security (SWESI) around the Mediterranean, based on continuing cost reduction for RE as way out from rising costs and coming shortages of fossil fuels.
In co-operation with the Global Market Initiative GMI: Plans for market introduction of concentrating solarthermal power (CSP) by cost reduction of this technology thru economies of scale. The successful market introduction of wind technology, which has been supported by several billion € in the past 20 years, lends encouragement to similar efforts with CSP, a further key technology for climate and energy security.
Compiling a comprehensive demand register, in co-operation with the Mediterranean CSP study conducted by DLR for the German ministry for the environment (BMU)
a EUMENA-wide strategy and finance conference of stakeholders in MENA and EU as follow-up to the MENAREC Sana’a conference, in spring 2005

solar thermal power is the main point of action
