This ECN's report provides a new perspective on the links between climate, energy and development, and how they should be addressed in the international discussions
A new analysis from the United Nations Development Programme, based on case studies from across Asia and the Pacific, calls for a set of “energy plus” services – one that combines access to modern energy for heating, cooking and electricity, with measures that generate cash, supplement incomes and improve health and education.
This book contributes to the body of knowledge and understanding regarding water, energy, and the links between the two in the American West and beyond
This UNEP publication helps to tell the story of where the world was 20 years ago and where we collectively stand today, and to show the direction in which we need to move in a post-Rio+20 world. It also highlights the missing pieces in our knowledge about the state of environment— such as those...
