The inaugural CSP Today India awards ceremony takes place on March 12, and CSP developers, EPCs, suppliers and technology providers can now be nominated.

At the awards ceremony, industry leaders will be recognized for their achievements in one of 4 categories: CSP India Developer Award, CSP India Engineering Performance Award, CSP India Technology and Supplier Award, and the prestigious CSP India Personality of the Year.

Norway has started $400-million fund to halt deforestation and help farmers. The fund’s aim is to safeguard more than 5 million ha of peatlands and forests. Several major companies, including Unilever, Mars, and Nestlé, have voiced support for the fund. Corporations, as well as other bilateral and multilateral donors are expected to add to Norway’s initial $100 million investment to reach a goal of $400 million by 2020. Norway created the fund under the umbrella of the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, which brings together leaders of public institutions and private companies to ferret out deforestation from supply chains. Part of the fund is earmarked for small-scale farmers. The thrust of the initiative will be to encourage the intensification of agriculture where it already exists, as well as to limit its expansion into forested areas.
