Africa needs energy finance to achieve faster access to sustainable energy for all communities.
Here is my opening speech at the European Union Sustainable Energy Week.
Every one has the ability to drive change. No action is to small. Healing of the planet starts in our homes , our schools. It starts with YOU. Lets use the science to preserve our environment and Earth

: โWe are here in an outcry. โฆ The words and promises of leaders do not match their actions.โ
Dear future generations, am sorry we left you a mess of a planet. Sorry we put profit above people, greed above need, rule of gold above golden rule. Sorry we cut down all the trees and led to animal Extinction. Sorry we poisoned the oceans.

Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.

Africa does not need to repeat the environmental mistakes made by developed countries in regards to fossil fuels . We can and are able to create a transition to clean energy
@UN_Energy
African countries that are the least responsible for the climate crisis will have to spend up to five times more on adapting to global heating than they do on healthcare.
We can't talk about access to clean water with existing oil pipelines cutting across water sources that lead to oil spills. That's why we should switch to renewable energy.
@YACAPhilippines
@A2EI_
African economies need stop reliance on fossil fuels and switch to renewable technologies. But this will need climate financing for clean energy.
@ScalingOffGrid
I have a dream of an economy that cleans up polluted waters, soil and air; develops transportation, communications, manufacturing, and energy systems that do not deplete resources; applies recycling and solar technologies;

The low costs and easy installation of solar power make it the way forward in providing sustainable affordable energy in sub-Saharan Africa. This would improve the livelihoods of these communities that lack energy.

"Climate scientists and economists have warned that stopping expansion of oil and gas production is vital to reducing global carbon emissions, the key driver of the climate crisis"
@guardian
Many rural schools still lack access to electricity. This can be solved by providing sustainable energy technologies that can reduce energy poverty.

400,000 people have been left without clean water. Without financial resources , the people cannot have access to new sources of water because of the floods as a result of the climate crisis.

Displacement and forced migration due to climate change is already taking place. Droughts, heat waves , floods are causing people to move from their homes to resettlement camps.
