UN Secretary-General’s High-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Fin
The Secretary-General established a High-Level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing on 12 February 2010 for the duration of 10 months. The Group will study potential sources of revenue that will enable achievement of the level of climate change financing that was promised during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. The Group is co-chaired by His Excellency Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, Prime Minister of Norway, and His Excellency Mr. Meles Zenawi, Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. As part of its work, the Group will develop practical proposals on how to significantly scale-up long-term financing for mitigation and adaptation strategies in developing countries from various public as well as private sources.

Capital Environmental News, Crown Eco Management
OFTEC Positions Itself For The Futurehttp://www.oilfiredup.com/site/news/item/1805capital environmental news, crown eco managementSome OFTEC members recently gathered together for their Annual General Meeting and mini-conference in the sumptuous and plush surroundings of a private members' club in London to debate the long term future for the oil heating industry industry. Coinciding with the Northern Ireland Boiler Scrappage Scheme, UK oil boiler sales have increased in the first quarter of this year. OFTEC asked what we can do now to ensure that liquid fuels are being used to heat homes in 2030 and beyond.Speakers at the event, held in the prestigious Landsdowne Club included Jon Slowe from the Delta Energy and Environment consultancy in Edinburgh, who considered the options for de-carbonising heat up to 2050. This was based on an authoritative study he had done for the Energy Networks Association in late 2012 which concluded that trying to completely de-carbonise heat by 2050 is expensive and wasteful and that an alternative option of encouraging hybrid heating systems could be a better way forward.From OFTEC, Technical Director Paul Rose outlined the possibilities offered for rural homes by what OFTEC describes hybrid home heating systems - such as combining an oil boiler and an air source heat pump.

Long Term Care Insurance Cost
http://longtermcareinsurancecosts.orgLong term care insurance premiums are on the rise, as insurance companies struggle to pay for the long term care costs of those living longer than expected. While long term care insurance premiums won’t increase by as much as insurance companies would like, most people with coverage can expect their long term care insurance cost to increase by as much as fifteen percent year-over-year. For those living on retirement, or a limited income, such increases in long term care insurance cost can be prohibiting. Fortunately, there are some very effective ways in which one can reduce their long term care insurance cost.
