In the broader markets, telecom and | | natural resources stocks were the best performers, with consumer | | staples and healthcare stocks underperforming. | | | | During the month, the former Chief Economist to the World Bank, | | Sir Nicholas Stern, published a ground-breaking report on climate | | change for the UK Government. The Stern Report suggests that the | | cost of mitigating climate change could be as low as 1% of global | | GDP, versus a cost of 5-20% if action is delayed, and recommends | | a doubling of worldwide public spending on research and | | development into low-carbon technologies and a sharp increase in | | incentives to encourage people to use them. This coincided with | | an announcement by EU energy commissioner, Andris Piebalg, of | | plans to cut the EU's energy consumption by 20 percent by 2020. | | The plan, which will be implemented over the next six years, | | proposes stringent new energy efficiency standards and financing | | mechanisms to support more energy efficient products. Outside | | the EU, the Norwegian government announced the formation of a | | US$3.2 billion fund to provide subsidies for renewable energy and | | power savings projects, in order to meet a looming electricity | | shortage. In the US, the Texas Governor, Rick Perry, unveiled a | | partnership with the private sector that will invest more | | than US$10 billion in new wind power, consolidating its position | | as the top wind-power producing state. | | | | In the water sector, the Spanish government published details of | | 2,100 wastewater disposal and treatment projects over the next | | ten years at a cost of ¤20 billion, which are designed to achieve | | compliance with the Urban Waste Water and Water Framework | | Directives. In the waste sector, a leaked letter from the UK | | environment minister to Chancellor Gordon Brown suggested that | | the annual increase to landfill tax of £3 per tonne should be | | increased, and that the ceiling of £35 should be doubled to £70. | | If implemented, this will significantly accelerate the transition | | to high tech non-landfill waste solutions. | | | | Stocks that contributed to the increase in the company's NAV | | during October included Carmanah (solar-LED lighting, Canada), | | which rose 31% following approval of its roadside beacons by the | | Florida Department of Transportation, and Pentair (water | | treatment, US), which rose 26% after strong Q3 results. Ballard | | (fuel cells, Canada) and CDS (storm water & waste water | | management, Australia) gained 23% on involvement in a US Federal | | fuel cell bus R&D programme and the sale of Copa UK to GL&V | | respectively. On the downside, Esco (filtration & meters, US) | | retreated 6% on the back of project delays. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Latest information available at: www.impax.co.uk/asset/iemdown.htm 21 November 2006 ---END OF MESSAGE---
