Establishing clearing houses for environmentally sound technology


  • Linking global information systems for sustainable technology
  • Developing inventory of information systems on environmentally sound technology
  • Cataloguing clearing houses on appropriate technologies
  • Publishing appropriate energy techniques
  • Disseminating information on resource conservation technologies
  • Disseminating information on sustainable technology
  • Informing about alternative technologies

Context

Encouraging the dissemination of existing environmentally sound technologies.

Implementation

The Appropriate Technology Project of Volunteers in Asia has compiled 15,000 pages of technical information on appropriate technology, including a bibliography of more than 1,000 books; it also offers 100 new appropriate technology books for US$200.
