International conference on Energy, environment, and development - analysing opportunities for reducing poverty

TERI will jointly organise an international conference on "Energy, environment, and development - analysing opportunities for reducing poverty" with the Veolia Environment Institute in December 2006. The conference will focus on challenges for sustainable development that arise from the nexus between energy, environment, and poverty. It will provide an opportunity for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the donor community to engage in constructive dialogue on possible solutions. It will attempt to identify an agenda for action and policy relevant research, particularly focusing on developing countries in Asia.
