Webinar: Energy, Energy Access and Transport

[:en]

 

Transport is an often overlooked aspect of rural development and linkage to energy access and productive use of energy in the developing world, but it is of critical importance. Not only does transportation rely on a source of energy (and hence transport can itself become a productive use of energy), but an effective transport infrastructure is a critical part of allowing mobility, access to markets, establishment of distribution chains (both to access energy generating equipment as well as marketing services, goods and products).

In this webinar, we were joined by experts presenting on diverse aspects of this complex challenge, including Prof Gina Porter and Dr Arash Azizi of the University of Durham, Dipak Gyawali, former Minister of Water Resources in Nepal and Chair of the Nepal Water Conservation Foundation, and Dr Ben Campbell from the UK Low Carbon Energy Development Network. As usual, we provided an opportunity for the participants joining the webinar to put questions to the speakers, for them to be answered during the session.

The webinar heard presentations from:

Prof Gina Porter, Department of Anthropology, University of Durham

Dipak Gyawali, Chair, Nepal Water Conservation Foundation

Dr Arash Azizi, Department of Engineering, University of Durham

Dr Ben Campbell, LCEDN and University of Durham[:]
