Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureIncentivizing sustainable wood energy in sub-Saharan Africa a way forward for policy-makers 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Woodfuel contributes to more than half of energy consumption in 22 countries of sub-Saharan Africa, and over two-thirds of the households in Africa use wood as their main fuel for cooking, heating and water boiling. While its use is expected to further increase due to population growth and urbanization, there is hardly any systematic approach to developing a sustainable wood energy sector in the region. Absence of effective policies governing wood fuel production, trade, conversion, and consumpt ion and the resultant indiscriminate and inefficient wood fuel collection and use contributes to continued deforestation and forest degradation. In addition, this is also causing indoor air pollution with obvious adverse health impacts besides imposing disproportionate fuelwood collection burden on women and children. While there have been instances where some of these challenges were addressed through suitable regulatory and incentive mechanisms, currently, however, information on such mechanis ms is scattered. The proposed work directly contributes to SO 4 - Enable Inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems and also SO 3 - Alleviating rural poverty. -
No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentOther documentWood energy 1981This 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.

Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital. -

Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.
