Completed WISDOM analysis in Honduras (Wednesday, November 25, 2015)
The analysis of woodfuel supply, demand and harvesting sustainability in Hondurasa is the third Tier 2 case study of project "Geospatial Analysis and Modeling of Non-Renewable Biomass: WISDOM and beyond", conducted by the University of Yale in partnership with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and supported by UN Foundation.
Completed WISDOM analysis in Kenya (Thursday, March 5, 2015)
The analysis of woodfuel supply, demand and harvesting sustainability in Kenya is the second Tier 2 case study of project "Geospatial Analysis and Modeling of Non-Renewable Biomass: WISDOM and beyond", conducted by the University of Yale in partnership with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and supported by UN Foundation. The Kenya study has stand-alone validity and also contributes to the multi-scale geospatial approach of the project and to the validation of the pan-tropical model.
Completed WISDOM analysis in Karnataka (Thursday, March 5, 2015)
The analysis of woodfuel supply, demand and harvesting sustainability in Karnataka is the first Tier 2 case study of project "Geospatial Analysis and Modeling of Non-Renewable Biomass: WISDOM and beyond", conducted by the University of Yale in partnership with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and supported by UN Foundation. The Karnataka study has stand-alone validity and contributes to the multi-scale geospatial approach of the project and to the validation of the pan-tropical model.
Nature CC presents pan-tropical analysis (Monday, January 26, 2015)
In the article "The carbon footprint of traditional woodfuels" Nature Climate Change presents the results of the pan-tropical WISDOM analysis.The University of Yale in partnership with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), are conducting the study "Geospatial Analysis and Modeling of Non-Renewable Biomass: WISDOM and beyond". The study was commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and supported by UN Foundation. The study has a multi-scale geospatial approach based on three tiers: Tier 1 covers tropical countries (plus China), now completed [results discussed in the NCC article], Tier 2 covering one selected country in each region and Tier 3 covering select areas within such countries for further in-depth project-level analyses (both in progress). Tier 1 and 2 are based on WISDOM model further expanded to assess NRB rates while Tier 3 includes field data collection for dynamic spatial and temporal aspects of woodfuel harvesting.
Completed WISDOM analysis in Nepal (Friday, May 30, 2014)
The study was carried out in the framework of the Project “Development of a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System for Emissions and Removals" of the REDD - Forestry and Climate Change Cell of Nepal. In this case WISDOM was applied with the purpose of identifying forest areas under risk of forest degradation due to excessive fuelwood harvesting.
