In the broader markets, Energy Equipment & Services and Materials were the best performing sectors, with Consumer Staples and Healthcare underperforming. During the month President Bush unveiled a U-turn towards climate change, calling on the world's leading economies to join the US in agreeing a long-term global goal for reducing greenhouse gases by the end of 2008. Bush's proposals included boosting investment in research and development for energy-efficient technologies, but again rejected firm caps on carbon dioxide emissions. However, global leaders and commentators, including UN climate change chief Yvo de Boer, were optimistic that this could be the start of a policy shift. Earlier in the month, President Bush signed an Executive Order directing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Departments of Transportation, Energy, and Agriculture to develop regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles. As a starting point, measures will be taken from the "20-in-10 plan" announced in the State of the Union address, which aims to cut America's gasoline usage by 20 percent over the next 10 years. In the water sector, the US Senate passed the Water Resources Development Act, a $13.9 billion bill to be implemented by the Army Corps of Engineers, which contains provisions to repair and maintain existing infrastructure, while authorising projects that address environmental infrastructure, including municipal water and wastewater. In the meantime the Water Quality Financing Act of 2007, which was passed by the House of Representatives in March, awaits a sponsor from Senate. The bill will provide $14 billion through 2011 for the State Revolving Loan Fund, focused on waste water projects. If successful both bills are positive news for water technology and equipment suppliers. In the waste sector, UK Environment Secretary David Miliband unveiled a controversial strategy, in which councils would be able to introduce charges for non-recycled household rubbish, in order to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. The UK currently lags the rest of Europe in recycling, where the EU Landfill Directive requires a 25% reduction on 1995 levels by 2010, and a 65% cut by 2020. Measures from the UK Energy White Paper will also provide "banded" support for biomass, to allow more waste-to-energy technologies to qualify for Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCS), which will favour alternative solutions to landfill such as advanced gasification technologies and mechanical biological treatment. Stocks that contributed to the increase in the Company's NAV during May included Tanfield (electric vehicles and powered access, UK), which climbed 26% following key contract wins during April, Nibe (ground source heating, Sweden) and Kurita (water treatment, Japan), which gained 15% each on strong market outlook and strength in Asia respectively. On the downside Energy Developments (landfill gas development, Australia) retreated 11% on project delays and cost overruns.
