Dear Partners and Observers,
In the framework of the GBEP Activity Group 6 “Bioenergy and Water” (AG6), GBEP launched the Call for Examples of Positive Bioenergy and Water Relationships. This initiative aims to showcase innovative examples of how bioenergy systems (in both the feedstock production and conversion phases) can produce positive impacts on the status of water and to serve as a way to inspire and build on this knowledge and experience with other bioenergy producers.
The submissions received in response to the Call for Examples were reviewed and the most relevant among them were selected to be presented at a workshop organized by GBEP and IEA Bioenergy, in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (KSLA), in Stockholm (Sweden).
We are pleased to invite you to the Workshop on “Examples of Positive Bioenergy and Water Relationships”, to be held on 25-26 August 2015 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Science (KSLA), Stockholm (Sweden). Please find attached a tentative agenda of the event.
You are kindly requested to confirm your participation by 3 July 2015.
Please note that this workshop will be followed (on the afternoon of 26 June) by an AG6 discussion.
We are also pleased to circulate the Final Report of the Activity Group 5 “The Global Renewable Energy Atlas – Bioenergy Component” (AG5). The Activity Group is now closed and we would like to to thank IRENA, leader of the AG5, for its contribution and support to this activity.
Kind regards,
GBEP Secretariat

Subject: GBEP - AG6 "Bioenergy and Water" - Call for Examples of Positive Bioenergy & Water Relationships
Dear GBEP Partners and Observers,
As you know, at the GBEP meetings that took place in Rome in November 2014 it was decided to establish, within the GBEP Working Group on Capacity Building (WGCB), the Activity Group 6 “Bioenergy and Water”. The goal of this Activity Group, which is led by IEA / IEA Bioenergy, is to identify and disseminate ways of integrating bioenergy systems into agriculture and forestry landscapes to improve sustainable management of water resources.
AG6 is launching a Call for Examples of Positive Bioenergy & Water Relationships, with the aim to showcase innovative examples of how bioenergy systems (in both the feedstock production and conversion phases) can produce positive impacts on the status of water.
Submissions will be reviewed by the Activity Group and the examples submitted will form the basis of the AG6 Workshop on Bioenergy and Water planned for the second half of 2015 (date and location to be confirmed).
Kindly use the attached template to make electronic submissions to [log in to unmask] at the GBEP Secretariat by Friday 8 May 2015.
In addition, we would like to kindly ask you to send us, by Monday 6 April, the list of organizations (including contact persons) and individuals that you think we should reach out to for this call.
Thank you in advance for your kind feedback.
Best regards,
GBEP Secretariat
