[Stoves] Announcement - Webinar on energy access in Humanitarian Settings, 24 May 2017

FYI. Hosted by the other energy program of the UN Foundation - SE4All EAPN.

It is supposed to be for lighting and power, but then SAFE (co-chaired by
GACC)  is about both fuel and energy, and GACC is unlikely to have "best
practices" in decentralized lighting and power by cookstoves in, um,
"humanitarian settings".

GACC should act with a sense of urgency about the remaining three billion
people supposedly condemned to the unSAFE dirty cooking solutions.

If Jordanian refugees can get a 2 MW solar plant to run their clothes
washers and refrigerators, why not cooking with solar thermal and PV
induction? (Apologies, Ron: there may not be much biomass in the desert. I
wonder what they cook with, though. LPG?)

This no-cost webinar, jointly hosted by the UN Foundation's Energy Access
Practitioner Network <http://www.energyaccess.org/> and the Clean Energy
Solutions Center <http://www.cleanenergysolutions.org/>, in collaboration
with the Safe Access to Fuel and Energy Humanitarian Working Group (SAFE WG
<http://www.safefuelandenergy.org/>), will highlight best practices for the
nexus of energy access and humanitarian relief, particularly focusing on
the timely and appropriate distribution of decentralized energy solutions
for lighting and power. The webinar will be the second in the UN
Foundation's best practices webinar series to share recommended methods for
energy access efforts in different geographic and thematic contexts.

This webinar will explore the role of distributed energy solutions in
humanitarian, conflict and displacement settings. The panelists will
provide brief remarks on their respective work streams on this nexus issue,
followed by a moderated discussion to delve deeper into remaining barriers
and opportunities around scaling the procurement and inclusion of
distributed energy solutions in humanitarian relief efforts.
