This draft paper presented at the Conference of the Parties meetings on
climate change (UNFCCC) in 2001 in Morocco explores the linkages between
renewable energy, poverty alleviation, sustainable development, and
climate change in developing countries. While the discussion includes
all types of renewable energy technology, special emphasis is placed on
biomass-based energy systems. Biomass energy has a number of unique
attributes that make it particularly suitable to climate change
mitigation and community development applications.
