Twice a year, the COMMEND community publishes a newsletter called reCOMMEND. reCOMMEND is intended to act as a forum for the exchange of views among Southern energy analysts working on sustainable development issues.
The newsletter is available here online, and is also being mailed at no charge to energy professionals based in developing countries. Please contact Anja Panwani if you are based in a developing country, and would like to be added to our mailing list.
