Causes: Energy Resources Conservation & Development, Environment
Mission: The purpose of the organization include, but are not limited to - promote, initiate, strengthen and advance -- the efficient production and use of energy for sustainable development. Strategy is focusing on developing countries. Disseminating an approach to energy, in which the level and quality of energy services is taken as the measure of development, rather than the magnitude of energy consumption and supply. Improving energy services through end-use efficiency measures and the increased use of environmentally cleaner new and renewable energy technologies. Ensuring that market restructuring and/or liberalization in the electricity and petroleum industries focuses on measures that expand the provision of public benefits. Addressing policies, regulation, institutions, financing and management issues to promote sustainable energy practices. Initiating and strengthening capability in energy analysis, information, advocacy, and implementation in developing countries.
Programs: Esd journal (energy for sustainable development) journal production highlighting issues related to energy efficiency and technologies, current projects, scientific finding, renewables, etc. The editorial board of energy for sustainable development views energy, not as an end in itself, but as an instrument of sustainable development. Submission of papers consistent with this view are encouraged. The editorial board wishes particularly to encourage papers (1) likely to be of interest to more than one professional group, (2) summarising, at a sufficiently technical level, work done on projects of special interest, or (3) offering extensive critical reviews. The board also wants to promote the publication of articles on, or that are relevant to, energy issues in developing countries and on north-south and south-south cooperation in energy technology development and application. The board considers the publication of highly specialized work more appropriate to other professional journals. The criteria for acceptance of the papers in esd are therefore quality of the work and its presentation and breadth of interest, irrespective of whether the paper reports research or development, theory or experiment, original work or review.
iei fellowships training of individuals in developing nations on the merits of energy efficiency, current technologies, alternatives, etc. Including costs of training sessions and workshops.
other program related expenses relative to activities promoting the implementation and marketing of efficient energy production and use with the corresponding conservation of natural resources on a global level with emphasis on latin america, china, india and africa.
