Title: Asian Regional Research Programme on Energy, Environment and Climate ARRPEEC
1An Introduction to the
Asian Regional Research Program in Energy,
Environment and Climate (ARRPEEC)

2Background
- All parties to UNFCCC have common but
differentiated responsibilities. - Developing countries are likely to become more
involved in global efforts to reduce emissions in
the future. - Also, global GHG emissions reduction can be
achieved at a lower cost through mitigation
projects undertaken in developing countries. - It is urgent to enhance capacity and preparedness
of the developing countries regarding
identification and assessment of national GHG
mitigation options.
3The Asian Regional Research Programme in Energy,
Environment and Climate (ARRPEEC) is funded by
the Swedish International Development
Co-operation Agency (Sida) and co-ordinated by
the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). ARRPEEC
is organised as a regional network involving a
number of national research institutes (NRIs)
from several countries of Asia. The first,
second and third phases of ARRPEEC started in
1995, 1999 and 2002 respectively.
4- ARRPEEC II was formulated by AIT and
collaborating National Research Institutes (NRIs)
and approved by Sida in 1998. - ARRPEEC II was executed during Jan1999- Dec 2001
- Asian Institute of Technology (AIT)
- overall programme co-ordination
- regional synthesis/research
- research leadership, coordination and management
- Countries involved China, India, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand,
Vietnam - 23 National Research Institutes
- Carried out national level research
5- To mobilize and enhance the capacity of national
research institutes participating in the
programme with regard to conducting research on
energy-environment-climate issues. - To produce policy oriented research results for
the mitigation of greenhouse gases and other
hazardous emissions. - To disseminate the results of the programme among
concerned groups, particularly policy personnel.
6- Research
- 4 regional research projects.
- Objective To carry out research on important and
specific problems related to EEC issues. - Research Training
- Post-doctoral/research fellowship
- Objective To enhance quality and technical
ability of junior researchers in national
institutions engaged in addressing EEC issues
