The intensive training component of this institute was held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado from 4-22 August 2003. Sixteen participants are currently conducting follow-on research projects in their home regions. The Synthesis Workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Human Dimensions of Global Change in Bonn, Germany in October 2005. The institute projects are: Greenhouse Gas from Mobile Sources in Bogota City: Estimation of Nitrous Oxide Emission Factors Energy, Environment and Mobility in Three South Asian Cities (PDF) Economic Analysis of Health Benefits from Air Pollution Reduction: A Comparative Study of Delhi and Calcutta Urban Transportation and Emission Interactions in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal: Strategies for Integrated Global Carbon Concerns into Local Air Pollution A Quality-of-life Approach to Sustainable Transportation in the Colombo Metro Region, Sri Lanka: A Model for Other South Asian Cities (PDF) De-coupling Economic Development from Growth in Emissions: an Integrated Study of Urbanization in the Ping River Basin, Northern Thailand How Decision-makers are Informed: A Cross-scale Approach to Climate Change Information Flows in South African Government SURF: A Study of Urban Influence on Rain Fall in Yogyakarta city of Indonesia Can City be Harnessed to Reduce Transport Energy Use?
