HELIO International: an independent network of energy analysts

HELIO is a non-profit thinktank.  The organisation is composed of a network of energy analysts who identify, assess, measure and publicise the contribution of energy systems and policies to ecodevelopment (sustainable and equitable development).

HELIO develops tools that are shared with other analysts and NGOs worldwide. HELIO's indicators are used to evaluate national energy systems and policies and to inform decision-makers about their effectiveness. HELIO's two principle indicator sets are:

• Sustainable Energy Watch (SEW): measures progress towards sustainable energy and development practices

• Vulnerability-Adaptation-Resilience (VAR): measures the vulnerability and resilience of national energy systems to climate change.

HELIO also developed CDM indicators to assess the contribution of clean development mechanism (CDM) projects to the sustainable and equitable development of host countries. These indicators helped the Designated National Authority (DNA) of several countries develop their own assessment criteria. The indicators were also the basis for the work of SouthSouthNorth and the international Gold Standard.
