Dear Partners and Observers,

 

We hope that 2021 has started well for you all.

 

We have a few new year updates to share with you:

 

  1. Task Force on Sustainability: Addendum to Scope of Work – Rapid Implementation Tool

Please find attached the addendum to the Scope of Work of the TFS that outlines the new work to be carried out for the development of a tool for the rapid implementation of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators. Given the nature of the development of the tool, it will require external financial resources. Therefore, the primary deliverable will be to develop a project proposal for the production of such a tool, which can be shared with funding agencies or adapted for relevant calls for funding. Olivier Dubois (FAO) and Maria Murmis (Argentina) are co-leading this workstream.

We ask Partners and Observers to please send any comments or edits to the attached SoW by Friday 5 February, after which point it will be considered approved and the sub-group will begin work.

 

  1. YUNGA Bioenergy Supplement for the Energy Challenge Badge

The English version of the Bioenergy Supplement developed by GBEP for the Energy Challenge Badge has now been finalized and is in the process of being piloted through the YUNGA channels. GBEP Partners and Observers and encouraged to share the attached Supplement within their networks for piloting, this could include any interested youth groups (aged 5-16 years) or through the school curriculum. If you require any support or further information on piloting, please contact the GBEP Secretariat ([log in to unmask]). Piloting will be concluded at the end of February 2021.

 

  1. GBEP Bioenergy Week 16-18 March 2021 ONLINE
