Synopsis (short abstract) This is the first of two special issues of Unasylva devoted exclusively to wood energy. As the magazine goes to press, this subject is also being prepared for examination at Nairobi, in August, by the United Nations Conference on New and Renewable Sources of Energy. Four of the six articles in this issue are adapted from papers written for this meeting. The Conference was requested by the UN General Assembly. It will bring together scientists, economists and policy advisers from governments and international agencies, and will focus attention on energy problems of the developing countries. The title of the Conference strongly suggests that it is looking for long-term practical solutions.
