UN releases "Engaging Stakeholders on Bioenergy Development."

The United Nations Environment Programme has released its Bioenergy Issue Paper Series No. 4, “Engaging Stakeholders on Bioenergy Development.” UNEP officials said that the paper “gives decision-makers, on both a policy level and project level, an outline of the key processes that are needed for stakeholder engagement in bioenergy planning.

It illustrates the importance of stakeholder engagement as a tool for sustainable project implementation, and addresses the difference between the engagement process and tokenism in practice.”
