UNEP Bioenergy Issue Paper Series Bringing emerging bioenergy topics into the spotlight As bioenergy policies are increasingly being adopted by governments,
it is important for decision makers to have the most up to date
information on the science and debate surrounding modern bioenergy.
UNEP is responding to this need by hosting a series of issue papers
designed to provide an overview of these critical emerging topics,
and outline options towards sustainable production and use of
bioenergy. No.2: The second issue paper reviews the critical nexus between bioenergy and water, flagging the key issues in regard to water use and efficiency in bioenergy systems, water quality and impacts, and research gaps. No.3: This paper focuses on the many potentially invasive plant species currently being developed or considered for biofuels for their possible efficiency gains, drawing attention to the serious harm they could cause to the environment, local livelihoods and economies. No.4: The fourth issue paper discusses the importance of stakeholder engagement in bioenergy planning and describes various approaches for inclusive communication and decision-making on both a policy level and on the project level. No.5: The fifth paper looks at
the opportunities that come with group certification for smallholders
in bioenergy markets. |
