Firewood biomass has been the main source of energy for cooking in Ethiopia. Such biomass is used in inefficient traditional open three stone/ point stoves that created wastage of wood. Although improved stoves were distributed since 1980s to improve the efficiency of the traditional open three stone stoves, a number of households still use traditional open three stone stoves. National Improved Cook Stoves Program was designed to distribute 34.2 million improved stoves up to the year 2030. The production of improved cooking stoves has been growing over time by different organizations. Then cookstove testing was crucial because we can’t know what problem exists without testing. The objective of the present study was to test kitchen performance on fire wood consumption of distributed stoves called “mirt” improved “injera” baking stoves. Injera is a traditional staple food in many parts Ethiopia made from Teff plant (Eragrotistef). The study was conducted in two districts, Bure, and Ameya of Ethiopia, in 100 households each. Locally dried firewood used during baking was weighed directly after measuring the moisture content of the wood. Then the amount of wood consumption was compared between mirtand open three stone stoves and the opinion of local people was interviewed about the improved stoves.

Response farming to climate change work towards reducing the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to climate change. Therefore, the objective of this research was to assess the response of farmers towards climate change in the target districts of bale zone
By using district-level data and robust OLS model, present study attempted to calculate and predict the climate change impact on wheat yield in western dry region. Study findings reveal that wheat yield declined by up 4% during 1966-2011 in Bhulwara, Ganganagar and Sirohi districts.
The technique of assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change is considered in article. Probability characteristics of river runoff in South West Africa were estimated on different climate scenarios
In this paper, it has been examined how urbanization has affected the Land Surface Temperature (LST) of Islamabad. For this purpose, satellite-based remote sensing techniques were used.
