Regional workshops on "Renewable Energy and Poverty Alleviation"
GNESD held three theme workshops in India, Senegal and Argentina in
March and April 2007. The workshops were cosponsored by UNEP, UNDP and
REEEP. The three workshops identified the barriers and niches for
promoting renewable energy in the regions. A summary of the workshop
proceedings is available in the
newly published workshop flyer.
A "Summary for Policy
Makers (SPM)" based on the findings of the Renewable Energy
Technology studies will be launched at CSD 15. The summary outlines
some of the policies that are required to be put in place for using
the full potential of RE for poverty alleviation in the developing
countries.
A paper on "Reaching the MDGs
and beyond: Access to modern forms of energy as a pre requisite"
will be launched at the CSD 15. The study analyzes five case studies
from Bangladesh, Brazil, South Africa, Senegal and Kenya and shows the
linkages between energy access with achieve the MDGs and sustaining
them.
