Description
Unsustainable woodfuel use can drive deforestation, leaving forest landscapes degraded. However, woodfuel is an important source of energy for many people in developing countries, with 2.3 billion people globally relying on woodfuel as their primary source of energy for cooking and heating.

This means that alternative sources of energy need to be urgently sought in order to begin a gradual transition away from this traditional biomass use.


This webinar will look at two case studies from different regions of the world where woodfuel use is prevelant. The case studies will highlight how alternatives to woodfuel can reduce unsustainable harvesting of wood, thereby helping to restore forest landscapes and support sustainable livelihoods.
