FOREWORD In 1973, 40 years ago, was held in Paris under the auspices of UNESCO the international congress « The Sun in the Service of Mankind ». This conference marked the entrance of sustainable development as a major objective to develop at the international level. Since this time numerous initiatives and projects have brought this universal challenge into reality through the recent endeavour of large scale use of renewable energies for the energy supply of mankind. Several scenarios are stating that renewable energies will become the main energy source in 2050. 40 years later, we can measure all the progress accomplished, but also all the work that still needs to be done to achieve this objective. The year 2013 marks a turning point. Indeed, 2013 is almost at mid-way between the 1973 founding congress and 2050, which represents the targeted year where GHG emissions have to be divided by a factor of four as compared to 1990s level, for a number of nations, including France. Other key milestones have been defined: on the one hand the Conference of Parties on climate changes (COP 21) to be held in December 2015, which aims to launch a “Post Kyoto” international binding agreement, and on the other hand the United Nations Sustainable Energies for All Initiative (SE4All) which aims at achieving universal access to modern energy services by 2030. This is a critical period, marked by an unprecedented development of renewable energy at the industrial and economic levels which embodies the hopes of 1973, but also by an uncertain and less optimistic future, in a difficult economic context where short term non-renewable energy solutions may be privileged. This enhances the needs to strongly remind the importance of renewable energy and to stress the need to reinforce their development. For all these reasons, ADEME, CNRS and UNESCO, have decided to organise an international meeting, on the 3rd of October 2013: "Renewable Energies in the service of humanity: the current challenges and prospects by 2030 and 2050 ". This event will review and address the current renewable energies development and the future opportunities. It will also be the occasion to focus on the role of renewable energy to meet major global challenges and on energy in the Post-2015 Agenda.
