*Healthy villages are smart villages - places where people can live
healthy lives with longer lifespans, fewer childhood illnesses and
deaths, and greater well-being.
In this webinar, we will think about the intersections of health and
energy. Indoor air pollution remains one of the most deadly elements
for many people in the developing world. We will hear about a new
clinical trial that offers data and ideas about solutions. We'll
also learn about innovative refrigeration technologies for remote
areas that need to keep vaccines and other vital life-saving tools
cool. We also plan to discuss other crucial issues, such as
nutrition and clean water. Join us for this exciting webinar! *

*About LCEDN <http://lcedn.com/>*
The Low Carbon Energy for Development Network (LCEDN) brings together
researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from across the United
Kingdom to expand research capacity around low-carbon development in the
countries of the Global South.
It links existing expertise in international development, renewable
energy transitions and science and technology studies in order to
enhance and support interdisciplinary research, learning and
policy-formation for this increasingly important and rapidly changing field.
The LCEDN comprises internationally-renowned universities and thriving
energy research institutes, alongside partnerships with the UK’s
Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and expanding worldwide
associations. This enables a unique environment for dialogue, discussion
and the generation of ideas for funding.
*About Smart Villages <http://www.e4sv.org/>*
The Smart Villages Initiative is a global initiative that aims to
provide policymakers, donors, and development agencies concerned with
rural energy access across the Global South with new insights on the
real barriers to energy access in villages in developing countries –
technological, financial and political – and how they can be overcome.
We are have chosen to focus on remote off-grid villages, where local
solutions (home- or institution-based systems, and mini-grids) are both
more realistic and cheaper than national grid extension. Our concern is
to ensure that energy access results in development and the creation of
‘smart villages’ in which rural communities have access to healthcare,
education, clean water, ICT, and livelihoods. See our recent
publications and workshop reports here:
