Government of India hosted Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC) 2010, the fourth in the series of global Ministerial-level Conference on Renewable Energy from 27 to 29 October 2010. The conference followed from the initiative taken at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg and also builds up on the initiatives taken in various IRECs held in Bonn (Renewables 2004), Beijing (BIREC 2005) and Washington (WIREC 2008) to highlight the significance of renewable energy. DIREC 2010 was an effort to provide an important forum for international discourse on renewable energy. Accordingly, the conference was carefully divided into four major themes - Technology & Infrastructure, Policy, Finance and Renewable, Access & MDGs.
