His Majesty Juan Carlos I
King of Spain

  

  In my capacity as member of the World Solar
Commission, I welcome the issuance of this
publication that will contribute to making
the Commission’s work better known to a larger
public.
The moment could not be better chosen. The
industrialized countries, Spain being one of
them, have committed themselves at the Climate
Summit of Kyoto, to protect the atmosphere of
the Earth. In this context, the role to be played
by solar and other renewable sources of energ y ,
will be paramount.
This is a great opportunity. The World Solar
Commission must take advantage of this political
impulsion and lead the international cooperation
mechanisms that will be established or
s t rengthened, within our common project for
p reventing global warming.
