Dear Partners and Observers,
We are happy to share with you a few updates on GBEP and the 2021 programme of work.
GBEP Bioenergy Week 2021
The 8th Bioenergy Week, held online 16-18 March 2021, was extremely successful, with over 50 invited speakers and almost 300 registered participants. You can find all of the meeting documents – PPT presentations, recordings,
Outcome Document and Detailed Summary – on the dedicated
GBEP webpage.
Updated Report – Financing Options for Bioenergy
The 2010 report on Financing Options for Bioenergy Projects and Programmes has been updated, as a kind contribution from FAO to the GBEP Programme of Work. The updated Report is now
available online and the accompanying search tool will be updated accordingly in the coming weeks.
GBEP Side event at the EUBCE 2021
GBEP will be holding a side event at the EUBCE 2021 on 29 April 2021 at 1615 CEST. The event is entitled “Biomass for landscape restoration: how can the bioeconomy contribute to the UN Decade on ecosystem restoration?” and represents
an activity of Activity Group 4 under the work stream on the relationships between sustainable wood energy and landscape restoration. More information, including the concept note and agenda for the side event, are available on the
GBEP website.
Expanding the GBEP Family – new GBEP Observers
We are very pleased to welcome three new Observers to the GBEP family:
·
Ukraine;
·
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE); and
·
World Bioenergy Association (WBA).
We look forward to them joining us for our next annual meetings so that they may be officially welcomed and recognised by the Steering Committee.
Kind regards,
