Briefing
  • Published 03/05/12

Available in English and Kiswahili, this short, non-technical briefing outlines the aims, rationale and approach of the Low Carbon Development project.

The project is a partnership between the University of Sussex (including the STEPS Centre, Sussex Energy Group and Tyndall Centre) and the African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS), in Kenya.

Using the case study of Solar Home Systems in Kenya, this research project aims to provide policy insights to inform the design of centre-based approaches for facilitating the transfer and uptake of low carbon energy, and other climate technologies, in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). These approaches include the Climate Innovation Centres initiative and the proposed Climate Technology Centre and Network.
