Health, livelihood, and environmental impacts of the distribution of a carbon-credit-financed, large-scale water filter and improved cookstove programme in Rwanda

摘要

We found that this intervention provides significant benefits that might continue to accrue if the programme continues to be supported. Ongoing support of this programme is contingent on viable revenue earned through carbon-credit generation and sales, a business model currently in jeopardy given the depressed carbon- credit market attributable in part to the USA’s declaration of withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.
