  6. http://www.electricityindia.org
    IIM Ahmedabad-Stanford Joint Study on "Electricity Sector Reforms: Impact on Development and Environment" is a project sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The study focuses on the effects of the electricity sector reforms in India on the technologies, institutions and the environment. The study takes the Indian macroeconomic environment as its point of departure, while viewing the Indian states as the focal points of electricity reform policies, decisions and actions.
  7. Program on Energy and Sustainable Development
    Resources include publications and working papers on Political Economy of Power Market Reform, Natural Gas , Energy & Development, General Energy Issues, and General Environmental Issues.

    Includes links to climate change issues.
  18. START
    Mission of START is to develop a system of regional networks of collaborating scientists and institutions to conduct research on regional aspects of global change and to assess the causes and impacts of regional global change. START works towards providing relevant information to policy makers and governments. It aims to enhance scientific capacity in developing countries by strengthening and connecting existing institutions, by training global change scientists and by providing them with improved access to data, and research results.
  19. International Geosphere
    This is a scientific research programme built around a family of core projects. Each core project carries out integrative research in a focused area of Earth System Science. IGBP's mission is to deliver scientific knowledge to help human societies develop in harmony with Earth's environment.
  20. Environment Congress for Asia and the Pacific
    This consists of high-level government officials (including ministers), experts from international organizations and private organizations and environment researchers in the region, where they can freely exchange viewpoints in their personal capacities. The purpose of ECO ASIA is to promote long-term activities for environmental protection by governments and relevant organizations in Asia and the Pacific Region toward the realization of sustainable development of the Region.
  21. International Human Dimensions Programme(IHDP)
    IHDP on global environment change is an international, interdisciplinary and non-governmental research programme, aiming at "the development and integration of research on the human dimensions of global environmental change".
  22. Asia-Pacific Environmental Innovation Strategy Project (APEIS)
    APEIS was launched at the Environment Congress for Asia and the Pacific (ECO ASIA) 2001 held in Tokyo, Japan to further the outcomes of the ECO ASIA Long-term Perspective Project (LTPP) for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region. The project aims to assist developing countries to enhance their capacity for environmental management and protection through development of scientific knowledge-based tools and innovative strategy options to promote informed decision-making for sustainable development for policy makers in the Asia-Pacific region.
