    Polish Report - Consultations for Carpathian Heritage „(…) The welfare and development of the Carpathian region should take place within a framework of coherent elements which reflect the distinctive character and uniqueness of the Carpathian mountains, in Europe and in the world. Countries sharing a common historical, cultural, natural and economic heritage should treat each particular region of Carpathians as a whole, and thus, stimulate the co- operation of regions divided by artificial country borders, using this very co-operation as an asset and a chance to build the foundations of sustainable development and, at the same time, preserve for future generations the Carpathian natural and cultural ‘capital’ (…)” Carpathian Memorial Project 2000 (A co- operation project for Regional and Local Government and NGOs in Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine). The Polish project “Identification, Protection and Promotion of Carpathian Heritage” is co-ordinated by the Ecopsychology Association (Stowarzyszenie Ekopsychologia) and carried out in co-operation of the League of Nature Conservation – the Bieszczady Branch and the Nowy Sącz Branch, and the People of Podhale Association (Związek Podhalan), and the Silesian section of the Highlanders Association (Oddział Górali Śląskich). Consultations have been organised in order to address the following issues: • What is Carpathian Heritage? • Is the ‘Carpathian Heritage List’ the right tool for the protection of this heritage? • What actions should be taken to protect Carpathian heritage? The first consultations within this project took place during a meeting of the Polish government’s Carpathian Convention Steering Committee, which was held in Warsaw on 21 st February 2008. There were 15 participants at this meeting, including representatives of the government Ministries, the Marshal Offices and Voivodeship Offices from the Carpathian region, as well as non-governmental organisations.

THE PRESENT CONDITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES FOR DEVELOPMENT Andrzej ŁĄCZAK2, Anna BAZAN-KRZYWOSZAŃSKA3, Maria MRÓWCZYŃSKA3, Marta SKIBA1 University of Zielona Góra, Poland A b s t r a c t The article presents the present situation in terms of energy production from renewable energy sources and perspectives for development, based on research on the existing resources and possibilities of using them. The Lubusz Voivodship is not an important energy producer in Poland. In terms of the amount of energy produced it comes twelfth out of sixteen voivodships. The annual energy production from renewable energy sources is 290,9 GWh, which is 11.6% of the total energy produced. At the end of 2014 there were 73 licensed installations producing electrical energy from renewable energy sources in the Lubusz Voivodship with a total capacity of 189 MW. The largest amount of energy is produced by a pumped storage power plant (91,3 MW). The total capacity of the licensed installations using RES in the Lubusz Voivodship rose from 103 MW in 2007 to about 189 MW in 2014. Research on the existing resources indicates that it is possible to develop RES. Preparations are under way to build 66 new wind farms with a total capacity of 1834 MW [35], 89 photovoltaic power plants with a total capacity of 468 MW, 21 water power 1 Corresponding author: University of Zielona Góra, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Z.
