Molecular charaterization of elite bamboo germplasm
March 15, 2005 to November 18, 2010
| Completed Project
Bamboo is an important forestry species of India. India harbours the second-largest genetic resource of bamboo with about 23 genera and 136 species. Precious germplasm of bamboo is getting lost due to indiscriminate cutting of clumps. Therefore, conservation of germplasm through ex situ approach is urgently required.
Capacity-Building in Resource Mobilization for IDRC's Research Partners (MAPPA Workshop)
March 4, 2005 to April 30, 2005
| Completed Project
Assessing impacts of tributyltin (TBT) on multiple coastal uses
March 1, 2005 to April 30, 2009
| Completed Project
Antifouling paints are applied on the hulls of the ships and boats to control the growth of foulant organisms and to reduce their deleterious effects such as the slowing of the ship speed,the increasing of fuel consumption, the increasing of maintenance costs, etc. TBT paints replaced copper-based paints due to a superior performance in terms of efficacy and duration.
Energy-Economic-Environment modelling to support climate change assessment and policy-making in India
March 1, 2005 to July 28, 2006
| Completed Project
The objectives of the study are to (1) determine the options and costs of controlling emission of GHGs (greenhouse gases) in the energy sector, (2) determine the set of policies and strategies that would steer the energy sector and the economy at large towards optimal use of energy resources.
Clean air initiative for Asian cities
February 24, 2005 to December 30, 2005
| Completed Project
Provide assistance to Asian Development Bank in developing a proposal for carrying out a study across Asia to estimate tailpipe exhaust mass emission factors. This would include identifying key issues in implementing such a strategy, facilitating a dialogue on such concerns, and developing a common approach that can be followed in implementing such a programme across Asia.
