		<description><![CDATA[What exactly is the cost to society when one million hectares (8,861 sq. miles, an area roughly the size of Costa Rica) of Brazilian rainforest disappears? The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) just released Mainstreaming the Economics of Nature, a report that aims to precisely answer that question. The report highlights government and business development policies that consistently fails to value the true cost of natural resources depletion.  The report makes an excellent case for biodiversity loss valuation in all governmental decision-making processes. The report also highlights the strong link that exists between ecological conservation and a society&#8217;s ability to &#8230; <a href="http://www.charcoalproject.org/2010/10/putting-a-price-on-biodiversity-loss/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Folks, We&#8217;re back from Labor Day, the long weekend that marks the unofficial end of summer and the start of the rest of the business year here in America. Before we launch into a new, fresh round of stories about energy poverty alleviation and energy efficient biomass combustion solutions, we want to share with you a roundup of stories that caught our attention on the Twitterverse over the week-end. UN researchers say its 15-year anti-poverty plan fails to address jobs, income equality. &#8211; &#8220;The United Nations is ignoring the critical role of jobs and income equality in its 15-year strategy &#8230; <a href="http://www.charcoalproject.org/2010/09/of-energy-poverty-mdgs/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2><strong>What will it take?</strong></h2>
What will it take to tip the scale in favor of <strong>a global crash  program to swap out three-stones-and-a-pot for energy-efficient stoves,  kilns, and sustainable alternative biofuels?</strong>

Will <strong>Haiti </strong>be to <strong>bioenergy</strong> what <strong>Katrina</strong> was to <strong>climate   change</strong>?
<div></div>
<div></div>
How long before <strong>Al Gore</strong>, <strong>Angelina</strong>, <strong>or Bono</strong> take  on bionergy as <strong>the next big inconvenient truth</strong>? The Charcoal  Project's intelligence services tell us <a href="http://www.jeffbarbee.com/"><strong>there  is already a film in the works</strong></a>.  Will <strong><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/bono_s_call_to_action_for_africa.html">Bono</a> </strong>embrace the <a href="http://www.rocketstove.org/"><strong>rocket stove</strong></a> onstage  to his fan's delight?

Perhaps it will be the lure of a <a href="http://www.hedon.info/docs/Geres4_DNVCambodiaCookstovePresentation.pdf"><strong>multi-billion  dollar global market in carbon offsets</strong></a> from stoves, kilns, and  briquettes programs that will do the trick. Or maybe it will be the <a href="http://www.hedon.info/CEC:PolicyChallenges">on-the-ground  realities of  implementing REDD</a> that will undo the Gordian knot.

<strong>And the point is...?</strong>

Actually, there are four points and they boil down to this: <a href="http://www.charcoalproject.org/2010/02/can-haiti-be-the-new-katrina/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From IPS news came this item in the context of Copenhagen. The thesis is that REDD &#8212; Reduced Emissions through avoided Deforestation and Degradation, the proposed mechanism by which developing nations will be compensated for protecting and restoring their forests under a global greenhouse gas reduction agreement &#8212; would encourage countries to cordon off their forests, and therefore restrict access to the indigenous and rural inhabitants that depend on the forests for their survival and their identity. How real is this scenario? We thought it worthwhile to examine the piece in detail and see how much water this theory holds. &#8230; <a href="http://www.charcoalproject.org/2009/12/redd-as-a-human-rights-disaster-fact-or-fiction/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s little doubt that Copenhagen will allow for some form of compensation to countries that substantially protect their forests. This is the essence of REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation).   Already a handful of developing countries have joined the World Bank in establishing the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, a framework for the day when the fat pipe from industrialized countries starts flowing dollars in exchange for the protection of forests. I&#8217;m wondering if that&#8217;s what&#8217;s behind Rwanda&#8217;s motivation to plant 20 million trees by 2012, thus raising its forest cover by 3.5%. The plan is to raise this figure &#8230; <a href="http://www.charcoalproject.org/2009/11/to-succeed-redd-needs-smart-stoves-and-briquettes/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
