Roundtable | Online
-
Organized by:
Energy Evaluation Asia Pacific
About the Event
Purpose of the event: To share examples of projects that are raising ambition in our understanding of the wider impacts of clean energy projects. These projects have gone beyond measuring energy and carbon emissions savings, to explore the wider social, economic and environmental benefits and challenges these projects present for local households and communities.
• Who is your target audience for this event? Policy-makers, project-designers; evaluators and community leaders working in the energy, environmental and climate change fields. While stories will be primarily drawn from the Asia-Pacific region they will include both developing and developed country contexts, and the knowledge shared will be widely applicable globally.
• What will participants learn from attending this event? They will see concrete examples of recent projects and evaluation methodologies that are using new approaches in this cutting edge topic. They will hear real stories of the practical challenges and what has worked in the field in applying innovative social impact indicators and methodologies within different country contexts.
• What new learning/methodology/tool specifically are you presenting at this event, if any? Use of new indicators in new areas of energy impact, such as health, wellbeing, livelihoods, gender equality, time saving, income and income streams, job creation, energy security, energy sovereignty
