ProjectCapacity building on the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) sustainability indicators for bioenergy in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Countries
A project funded by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany Grant Agreement Number: 81227987 - Final Report
2019Also available in:
No results found.This report was developed in the framework of the project “Capacity Building on GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy in the ECOWAS countries” (GCP/RAF/515/GER-GIZ), funded by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany. The main aim of the project was to build or enhance existing capacities of local experts to understand, assess and implement the GBEP sustainability indicators for bioenergy in Togo and Ghana, and use them to inform bioenergy policy decision making. Activities were primarily based on the sharing of experience and lessons learnt from the full implementation of the GBEP sustainability indicators within the countries of other GBEP Partners, with a focus on wood energy. Furthermore, the project aimed to sensitize policy makers and relevant stakeholders in both of the ECOWAS target countries on the potential of bioenergy production and use to better contribute to GHG emission reductions by replacing fossil fuel and traditional biomass use, while harnessing socio-economic co-benefits. This report presents the main outcomes and lessons learned of the project in Togo and Ghana, where national workshops on bioenergy and trainings on the full implementation of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy were organized, with a focus on the wood energy pathway both at household scale and at productive level. -
Book (stand-alone)FAO/GBEP, December 2011. The Global Bioenergy Partnership Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) has a clearly defined mission: to promote the wider production and use of modern bioenergy, particularly in the developing world where traditional use of biomass is prevalent. Exactly how modern bioenergy is developed, deployed, and used is a decision that individual countries will make according to their domestic needs and circumstances. The Partnership established the Task Force on Sustainability to promote the sustainable production and use of bioenergy . The Task Force has developed a science-based, technically sound, and highly relevant set of measurements and indicators that can inform policy-makers and other stakeholders in countries seeking to develop their bioenergy sector to help meet national goals of sustainable development. This report presents 24 indicators of sustainability regarding the production and use of modern bioenergy, broadly defined. These indicators were developed to provide policy-makers and other stakeholders a set of analytical tools that can inform the development of national bioenergy policies and programmes and monitor the impact of these policies and programmes. The indicators were developed by the Partners and Observers of GBEP and provide a framework for assessing the relationship between production and use of modern bioenergy and sustainable development. The indicators were intentionally crafted to report on the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development. -
Document11th Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) Bioenergy Week Agenda 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Since 2013, the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) has been organizing a Bioenergy Week every year in a different region of the world. In 2024, for its 11th edition, the Bioenergy Week will be held in Rome, Italy, from 17 to 21 June. The event is organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the context of the GBEP Programme of Work, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, and with the kind financial support of US Grains Council (USGC). This event, unlike previous Bioenergy Weeks focusing on regional priorities, will take a global perspective.The GBEP Bioenergy Week brings together a large network of bioenergy stakeholders, including international experts, decision makers and private sector representatives to discuss current trends, future opportunities and challenges in bioenergy. Previous editions have successfully contributed to exchanging views, best practices and lessons learned among stakeholders on ways to improve the sustainability of bioenergy in agrifood systems through both practical and policy interventions on agricultural productivity and yield, feedstock logistics, and the use of modern conversion technologies.The 2024 Bioenergy Week will enhance learning from positive experiences on sustainable production and use of bioenergy integrated within food production value chains, to support the design and implementation of bioenergy policies. Furthermore, it will provide the opportunity to continue a dialogue with the private sector and other stakeholders on ways to improve cooperation towards a clean energy transition.
