Studio, lower level of the Teaching Building, Uppsala + online
Increasing charchol use in Niger, Kenya, and other African countries, lead to pressure on the continent’s forest, but form an important part of local economies. Welcome to a lunch lecture where Anders Roos, professor in business administration, discusses the challenges and pathways to a sustainable charcoal sector.
Charcoal remains an affordable energy source for low-income urban residents, and the trade provides income for rural producers and transporters. Based on research on forest supply chains in Africa, this presentation discusses challenges and pathways to a sustainable charcoal sector by 2030. What are the roles of various stakeholders in the sector and the continent’s young population?
Anders Roos is Professor in Business Administration at the Department of Forest Ecomonics.
