Wood energy: All energy derived from primary and secondary solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels derived from forests, woodlands and trees. Wood energy represents the energy produced after combustion of woodfuels, such as fuelwood, charcoal, pellets, briquettes, etc., corresponding to the net calorific value (NCV) of the fuel. (FAOTERM: TRG(26)/GICM, FAO, 2004; UWET - Unified Wood Energy Terminology - Forestry Department, 2004 (J0926).)
Countries known collectively as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have in common their smallness and insularity which, often, also indicates their vulnerability. These small island and low-lying coastal countries are subject to structural vulnerability that affects their productivity, development and cooperation policies. Since SIDS were identified as a special group during the 1992 Earth Summit, a number of internationally agreed development goals have been formulated to address SIDS vulnerabilities and to build resistance and sustainability.
