Governments should seriously consider the removal of subsidies in the energy sector. Transparency in energy pricing is an important principle that should also be seriously considered by Government :s. New economic instruments should be devised for all sources of energy in order to, make prices fully reflect the environmental costs of production, generation and s,upply, and the economic, social and regional impacts of those instruments should be evaluated before implementation. I ••• A/CONF.151/PC/10 English Page 38 (j) Recognizing the problens associated with nuclear power and the absence, at present, of sufficient, environmentally-safe renewable sources to substitute for it and fossil fuels;• and taking into account the environmental advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power; for as long as it is used, the highest safety standards covering both reactors and waste management must be developed and maintained in countries using nuclear power. International co-operation in the safe operation of nuclear generation facilities and nuclear waste management should be strengthened. (k) To ensure an appropriate level of support for renewable energy technology, institutional arrangements in the United Nations system should be revised, or a new institution established. (1) Actions should be continued and intensified in order to halt and reverse the deforestation process. Reforestation should be rapidly fostered both for climate and energy reasons, (m) Efficient energy saving and the rapid reduction of the most serious environmental pollution should be given high priority in the transfer of capital, technologies and development aid. Funding of all energy projects and programmes, including funding from such institutions as the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the new Bank for European Reconstruction and Development (BERD) should be based on the princip le of sustainable development. (n) The transition to a sustainable energy future will require major contributions from science and technology and, correspondingly, major commitments 
**Analysis**
The text primarily focuses on energy-related issues, discussing the importance of transparency in energy pricing, the need for sustainable development in energy projects, and the role of science and technology in achieving a sustainable energy future. It also touches on environmental concerns, such as deforestation and pollution, and the need for international cooperation in nuclear energy and waste management. This suggests that the text is more closely related to the categories of Natural resources and environment, and Economic development.
