| Summary: | A Regional Workshop on Household Energy,
Air Pollution and Health was held on 9-10 May 2002 in New
Delhi, India. The two-day event provided a forum to exchange
information on the latest research, share experiences in
mitigation strategies and strengthen commitments to future
action programs amongst various stakeholders from fifteen
countries. The workshop was linked to the completion of a
multisectoral study, India: Household Energy, Air Pollution
and Health, undertaken by the World Bank with the support of
the joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management
Assistance Programme (ESMAP) and the Government of Norway.
The World Bank and the Tata Energy Research Institute
organized the workshop in collaboration with several
agencies of the Government of India, including the Planning
Commission, Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources,
Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Indian Council
of Medical Research. The workshop was co-sponsored by the
World Health Organization (WHO), United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), United Kingdom Department
for International Development (DFID), Clean Air
Initiative-Asia and the Shell Foundation. This issue-the
last in this newsletter series-reports the highlights and
recommendations of the workshop. |
