WISDOM (woodfuel integrated supply/demand overview mapping) is a spatially explicit method, based on geographic information system (GIS) technology, which ranks a set of spatial units according to a group of indicators, in order to identify woodfuel priority areas or woodfuel hot spots. A comprehensive analysis was conducted, integrating full coverage national data on land cover classes, land cover change maps (1993–2000), geo-referenced population censuses (1990 and 2000), and a meticulous review of the international literature and Mexican case studies. Following a spatial multi-criteria analysis, 2395 counties (out of a country total of 2424 in year 2000) were ranked based on the number, density and annual growth rate of FW users; the percentage of households that use FW; the resilience of FW consumption, and the magnitude and likely trends of FW forest resources. The WISDOM analysis allowed the identification of 304 high priority counties (HPC), which showed a spatially aggregated pattern into 16 clusters. HPC cover 4% of Mexican territory and represent 27% of total FW consumption. We estimated that 1:3TgCO2 y1 are released to the atmosphere by non-renewable FW burning, a value that represents less than 1% of Mexican total annual CO2 emissions in 2002. The results of the analysis show that WISDOM is a useful tool for both focusing resources to critical areas where action is more needed and to obtain more accurate estimates of the impacts associated to FW use.<_created>2008-01-16 17:03:03<_owner>2296<_group>1<_origin>1view2720Adrian Ghilardi, Gabriela Guerrero, Omar MaseraGhilardi2007.pdfA WISDOM analysis was conducted in Mexico in order to: (1) identify fuelwood (FW) hot spots in terms of residential FW use and availability of FW resources for the year 2000, and (2) estimate net CO2 emissions from the non-renewable use of FW.

The studies were undertaken by the Environment and Social Development Department of the South Asia Region Of the World Bank, with support from the joint World Bank/UNDP Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) and the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development of the Government of Norway. <_created>2004-11-11 15:55:14<_owner>2<_group>9<_origin>8view1932000pdfhttp://www.shellfoundation.org/utilities/images_utilities/getacro.gifShell Foundation March 2005.http://www.shellfoundation.org/utilities/images_utilities/getacro.gifOpportunities and Challenges for the International Development Community and Big Business 2005 is shaping up to be a big year for poverty but increased aid, fairer trade and cancelled debt will not be enough to lift the poor out of poverty - permanently. Enterprise Solutions to Poverty argues that enterprise and business thinking must be placed at the heart of the war on poverty if we are really going to "Make Poverty History" in 2005. The report contains the latest information about Shell Foundation pilots across the developing world and shows how the value-creating financial assets of companies such as Shell can be harnessed to provide greater social returns on investment. Enterprise Solutions to Poverty ends by calling for partnership between government, civil society and big business to be recast in 2005 so that business thinking can be applied to the poverty challenge by ensuring the enabling environment can deliver the jobs and economic growth that the poor desperately want. <_created>2005-05-17 05:12:05<_owner>2<_group>9<_origin>8view547000htmlhttp://www.who.int/environmental_information/Women/wompretoc.htmhttp://www.who.int/environmental_information/Women/wompretoc.htmWHO is therefore encouraging activities in the sphere of women and health, with a view to filling this information gap and promoting gender-specific research aimed at producing the hard data necessary to demonstrate the poor health status of millions of women, particularly those in developing countries. These training materials on Women, Health and Environment constitute one such attempt. The package comprises three parts - an Anthology of brief examples of issues related to women, health and environment, a Teacher's Guide, and a bibliography of literature relevant to these topics. A series of case-studies and problem-based exercises evolved around key areas identified during the preparation of the Anthology is envisaged in the future. We hope that materials of this kind will be useful to teachers of environmental health, public health, family health, sociology, social medicine, medical anthropology, women's studies or development studies. The aim of the Anthology is to bridge a number of gaps in existing concepts and understanding of the environmental factors affecting women's health, and to create clearer linkages in the area of women, health and environment, which are often still addressed as disparate issues. It appears that although there are acknowledged linkages between women and health, and more recently between women and environment, there is less understanding of how all three areas interrelate. <_created>2003-09-17 21:06:40<_owner>2<_group>9<_origin>8view848500pdfhttp://www.unesco.or.id/apgest/pdf/india/india-bp-re.pdfAgency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology(ANERT). http://www.unesco.or.id/apgest/pdf/india/india-bp-re.pdfThis project was identified as the best practice in the field of Renewable Energy. It was operationalised by the Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT). ANERT is an autonomous body established by the government of Kerala with the objective to gather and disseminate useful knowledge in various fields of Non-conventional energy, energy conservation and rural technology; research studies, demonstration and implementation of schemes and projects, update the technologies and introduction of appropriate new technologies with an aim to reduce drudgery, increase production and improve the quality of life. The agency is better known by its acronym “ANERT” and has become a synonym for renewable sources of energy and energy conservation in the state. The project was selected as a best practice due to its gender sensitiveness and the strategies applied i.e. Participatory Approach. Since 1986 ANERT has taken the responsibility of implementing this programme at the state level through the science and technology department, which operates at national level. The project was also able to fulfill the practical and strategic needs of the women, reduction of drudgery by spending more time and energy in fuel collection and improves the health status of women. ANERT has taken the effort to involve the local Panchayats in promoting and propagating the non-convention renewable energy resources and peoples participations.<_created>2003-12-04 03:52:45<_owner>2<_group>9<_origin>8view9614683pdfBioStoveSuperBluPromo.pdfMultiplex Distribution Ltd (Mauritius) and Marko Limited (Malawi)/docs/BioStoveSuperBluPromo.pdfThe SuperBlu Stove (SBS) and Lamp are a breakthrough in energy technology and promise to revolutionise household heating and lighting in developing countries.
