Description: Climate change is one of the most pressing issues in the Asia-Pacific region. Yet emissions from fuel combustion in the region (and globally) continue to trend upwards due to increased demand for energy. In additionhouseholds and businesses are faced with frequent price shocks in many energy commodities. High qualityconsistent data on energy is critically needed to inform effective pathways for addressing issues around energy use and availabilityclimate change mitigation and just energy transitions. National statistical offices (NSOs) and ministries of energy of countries in the region have responded to these needs by compiling basic energy statisticsenergy balances and energy accounts. Howeverthere continues to be a need to strengthen the capacities of NSOs and ministries of energy to produce and disseminate energy information to better meet the needs of users for high quality integrated data on energy and its relationship to the broader economy and climate change.

Description: The link between energy usage and tourism is significant, as the sector is dependent on both transport-related activities such as travel to, from and at the destination, and destination-related aspects such as accommodation, food services and tourist activities. Efforts to reduce its consumption can be beneficial for the sector through cost savings, and environmentally beneficial for the destination as a whole by reducing consumption of natural resources and lowering associated greenhouse gas emissions. However, measuring energy consumption in the tourism sector remains difficult and complex. This is partly because it is difficult to capture tourism´s indirect energy use through the construction of hotels, airports, cars and roads, as well as energy use in associated sectors, such as tour operators. Existing indicators focus on consumption, the use of alternative sources and the introduction of energy efficiency and saving programs. This fifth INSTO Insights webinar will discuss the experiences of selected experts and INSTO Members on measuring energy management at the destination level. Energy management is one of the 11 key issue areas INSTO Members have to monitor and manage. Experiences will be shared on used indicators and various methodologies in this regard. The implications of these monitoring efforts in terms of informing policies and strategies will also be discussed.
Description: UNSD and the African Energy Commission (AFREC, an organ of the African Union) organized a regional bioenergy workshop in Lomé, Togo, from 24 to 26 April 2023. The event followed up from the June 2021 “International Workshop on Improving Bioenergy Monitoring and Reporting in Africa” held virtually by UNSD, AFREC and the International Energy Agency. The 2021 workshop consolidated the Strategic Framework for the African Bioenergy Data Management (AFBIDM), whose roadmap/action plan called for this validation workshop. Over half of Africa’s energy demand is met by traditional bioenergy, and the percentage of solid fuel (charcoal and fuel wood) used in the region is the highest in the world. Production and consumption of bioenergy has direct impacts on health (indoor pollution), biodiversity, water and soil quality, as well as on a number of social and economic aspects of primary relevance for developing countries. Improving the measurement of bioenergy in Africa is an imperative to tracking SDG 7 and its inter linkages to other SDGs. Representatives from Statistical Offices and Energy Authorities of ten African countries participated in the workshop. Presentations focused on the motivation, importance and impacts of traditional bioenergy use in Africa; mitigation actions to reduce such impacts; best practices in data collection, including survey questionnaires; linkages to policy and advocacy to policymakers; as well as outreach. Participants shared national experiences on each topic. Collectively, participants seemed to be aware of national needs in order to set up a comprehensive bioenergy data collection system integrated with national policy priorities. The exchange helped them individually to fill knowledge gaps in this respect.
