Page of Philip Mann[top] [end]Who am IResearcher at the University of Oxford, ECI, specialising in energy policy for developing countries, in particular poverty-focused carbon offset projects.[top] [end]Household energy experienceI have been working in the fields of energy and development for 20 years, and am currently a researcher at the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute (www.eci.ox.ac.uk). I work on energy policy and planning issues for developing countries, and poverty-focused carbon offset activities. I have undertaken a number of contracts involving cooking and carbon and organised an expert cooking/carbon workshop in Oxford, sponsored by Climate Care and EcoSecurities in 2005 http://www.eci.ox.ac.uk/research/energy/cookingcarbon.phpPreviously I worked for 4 years, as a seconded expert on behalf of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), on energy policy for Africa at the European Commission’s DG Development. One of my roles included the development of the 'EU Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development' launched at WSSD. Prior to this I worked for many years on national and international energy efficiency and renewable energy programmes, including for the IEA. For the last 7 years I have been a Trustee of a UK-registered child-focused social welfare charity, CWS, operating in Nepal (www.childwelfarescheme.org). In 1999 I helped to establish an improved cook-stove programme for the charity. I started working life as a teacher of science in a remote secondary school in Sierra Leone, where I introduced a photovoltaic lighting system and cooked on a three-stone fire for a year ! philip.mann@... www.eci.ox.ac.uk www.childwelfarescheme.org Philip Mann | |
