Resources/Links
Introduction
We hope you will find these resources and links relevant and interesting. We have arranged them into five categories:
- Solar Cooking
- The Kyoto Accord and Related Topics
- Global Poverty Reduction
- Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies
- International Emissions Trading (the formal sector)
If you are new to solar cooking, the first link will give you the broadest perspective on this exciting field. Solar Cookers International (SCI) is the hub of the solar cooking movement in the world. Their international directory lists most of the key players by country. The website gives a good illustration of the state of the technology itself with all the relevant links. There is much more there on every aspect of this work. Other sites in this category will give you more of the flavor and scope of the solar cooking movement and are well worth browsing.
Because our organization is deeply involved and committed to the global fight against poverty and climate change, the remaining categories contain related links. We plan to add and refine our list of resources to better meet your interests and needs. Please contact us with your particular interests if you don’t find them addressed here.
