Major Group: Science & Technology
? Chemical and waste management
o Energy security and integration of renewable energy sources in the production processes is essential ~ international efforts related to promoting RE and related south-south collaboration in its adaptation is important
o Electrical demand-side management techniques and cogeneration opportunities through industrial ecology concepts in the chemical industrial sector have helped reduce energy use ~ specific technology development and capacity building among SMEs is such technologies would be useful
? Transport
o Transport and air-quality issues inevitably interlinked ~ so regional dialog on such issues would be useful
o Rapid growth towards alternative fuels and inter-modality in transport network are evident, especially the Bus Rapid Transit, Metro rails and high-efficiency vehicles ~ capacity building of the operators for example becomes important then
o Adoption of newer technologies such as electrical/hybrid vehicles need to be brought in sooner ~ targeted research and development in this sector should be promoted
