Solar Water heating
The project will promote the commercialization of solar water heating technology in the residential and tertiary sectors by conditioning the market for sustained penetration of the technology as a least-cost alternative under competitive market conditions.
Biodiversity Conservation and Management
Participatory biodiversity conservation plans are being developed and implemented for seven sites in the species-rich lowland forests of south-east Cameroon and parts of the northern savannah ecosystem. The capacity of natural resource management institutions is being strengthened through financing zoological and biological inventories, by providing equipment, training and technical assistance, and through 'twinning' between the National Herbarium and Kew Botanical Gardens and the National Herbarium of France.
India Ecodevelopment
Project integrates conservation and development objectives in 7 threatened, priority sites representative of India's varied ecosystems. It supports improved protected area management, emphasizing joint management with local communities; the design and financing of village development plans and agreements that address the negative interactions of local communities on biodiversity and vice-versa; and research (biological and policy), education, and institution-building to improve knowledge of, and support and capacity for, ecodevelopment and conservation activities.
Nature Reserves Management
In accordance with China's NEAP and BAP priorities, this project will prepare and implement management plans in five priority protected areas, train staff, fund physical investments, and work with communities adjacent to and within PA boundaries to create incentives for sustainable resource use. A second component will restructure a major timber industry in Changqing to promote sustainable forestry, and create a core protected area of giant panda habitat, surrounded by a limited-use production/buffer zone.
Waste-to-Energy: Lahore Landfill Gas Recovery and Use
Design and construction of a privately-managed power station fueled by methane gas that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere, collected from an urban landfill. This project will transfer a technology developed and proven in wealthy countries to a developing country and test the feasibility of its application in that setting.
Promotion of Electricity Energy Efficiency
Project comprises a five year demand side management plan, which seeks to build institutional capability in the Thai electric power sector and throughout the economy. Will pursue policies and actions leading to the development, manufacturing, and adoption of energy efficient equipment and processes. Project will demonstrate potential savings, both financial and environmental, from reducing the use of fossil fuels for electricity production and will demonstrate the potential of the electric power sector to achieve these savings.
Leyte-Luzon Geothermal
Project seeks to assist in meeting the rapidly increasing demand for electrical power using technology that substantially reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The National Power Corporation (NPC) components of the project include the interconnection of electrical power systems of Leyte and Luzon Islands and the strengthening of the environmental and social engineering departments of NPC.
Conservation of Priority Protected Areas
Support for government efforts to establish a core National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) for ten sites over a seven year period, through financing site development and resource management. The project promotes participation of local communities in site management, and strengthens national capacity for coordination and monitoring.
Wildlife and Protected Areas Conservation
The project will protect biological diversity through the designation, establishment and management of priority protected areas, the protection of associated wildlife, and the planning and implementation of community participatory programs in and around protected areas.
Biodiversity Collections
Project strengthens the capacity of the Research and Development Center for Biology (PPPB) to manage systematic collections, including the establishment of a computerized database which will serve as a basic reference tool for biodiversity inventory and monitoring. Potential information users in other sectors will provide advice on database development. Specific components include human resource development, collections maintenance and development, improvement of research facilities, and publications and user products.
