Storybook: The Year the Cold Didn’t Come
Through this storybook, IFAD seeks to highlight the impact of climate change in Lao PDR, where those affected the most are rural people, especially women, children and ethnic minorities.
This project introduced a range of renewable energy technologies to enhance the lives of rural people. Biogas digesters were coupled with latrines and slurry storage was developed. Sustainable bio slurry will replace chemical fertilizers, allowing households to save money and consume healthier foods. Biogas digesters also alleviate burdens on women and reduce deforestation.
