Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency in South America
FIDA in collaboration with the Network of High Counselors and Government
Officials for Cleaner Production in the Americas and with the financial
support of the Andean Development Corporation (CAF)
worked on a project to support cleaner production and energy efficiency
policies in South America. As part of this project FIDA hosted a 2-week
virtual dialogue on Industrial Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency
policies.
This web-based dialogue included: experts on line, a virtual roundtable,
an inter-active library, and an electronic questionnaire aimed at
determining the state of clean production policy in the region. The
dialogue took place from June 3 - 14, 2002. To access the list of experts

Cleaner Production and
Energy Efficiency in Central America
The Inter-American Forum on Environmental Law (FIDA) in March 2003 hosted
a Central America regional Workshop on Industrial Cleaner Production and
Energy Efficiency policies in cooperation with the Central American
Commission on Environment and Development (CCAD), the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP), the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO) and with the financial support of the United States
Agency for International Development (USAID). The workshop, which took
place on March 21 and 22 in Managua, Nicaragua was a great success and
served to highlight the opportunities for governments to support
industrial behavior change toward methods of operation and technologies
that produce less pollution. To see presentations and other documents,
