United Nations [UN] Environment Programme, 2015This quadrennial Assessment was prepared by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) for the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. The Assessment reports on key findings on environment and health since the last full Assessment of 2010, paying attention to the interactions between ozone depletion and climate change.DocumentOn target for people and planet: Setting and achieving water related Sustainable Development Goals
International Water Management Institute, 2014This report cautions against an overly rigid approach to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which it argues could limit development options for poor countries, particularly in how they are able to manage critical water resources.DocumentGreen brick technology transfer to Malawi: market assessment report for setting up Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns (VSBKs)
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014In Malawi, increasing demand for housing has put tremendous pressure on the building material sector, resulting in deforestation, rising costs and poor quality construction.Malawi holds potential for the adoption of green building materials. Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia and Tanzania have expressed interest in clean construction technology transfer.The way forward:DocumentIncreasing the economic value and contribution of protected areas in Africa
South African Institute of International Affairs, 2015In recent decades the international community has begun to support protected area (PA) governance systems that demonstrate the combined effort to achieve biodiversity and conservation goals while promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and job creation.DocumentPromoting resource efficiency along the supply chain of key sectors: stimulating knowledge partnership in South Asia
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2015Rapid development coupled with high population growth in South Asia has led to unsustainable use of natural resources resulting in serious environmental and social problems. These problems may constraint growthDocumentSouth-south technology transfer low carbon building technologies: construction manual - Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK)
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014The Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln technology, developed in China, is an energy-efficient, environment-friendly and economically-viable means to produce quality bricks. The kiln can be built within eight to twelve weeks;DocumentSouth-south technology transfer low carbon building technologies - design manual: vertical shaft brick kiln (VSBK)
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014This manual aims at understanding and describing the needs for design methods that have arisen in response to interest in Malawi for the energy efficient and environment friendly brick firing technology i.e. the Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) technology. The VSBK is an energy-efficient and environment-friendly firing technology for producing burnt red-clay bricks.DocumentTARA BrickMek-Super User Manual
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014This user manual has been developed in response to the interest in Malawi in understanding the process of production of green bricks. It aims to describe the methods of production of green bricks through the TARA BrickMek-Super. The manual also explains in detail the methods of management of manpower, trouble shooting and maintenance of the machine.DocumentSouth-south technology transfer low carbon building technologies: inception report
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014This high rate of urbanisation puts tremendous pressure on the entire building material sector. With constraints in supply of material both the quality of material (brick) and the application (house) has degrade d to an alarming extent resulting in poor quality and increasing construction costs. Most often it has reached beyond the means of common beneficiaries.DocumentSouth-South technology transfer low carbon building technologies: market assessment report, Malawi
Knowledge Partnership Programme, 2014The high rate of urbanisation in Malawi puts tremendous pressure on the entire building material sector. With constraints in supply of material and demand far outstripping supply, both the quality of material and the application (house) has degraded to an alarming extent. This has resulted in poor quality and increasing construction costs.Pages
