11:30 pm
of these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube and also into the fest. as the domain is africa coming up on the program, how come ask a funds a climate positive future, as african leaders plays action on the climate crisis and call for global support? we ask if the plan will propel the continent towards the green goals. also coming up, even though kenya gets nearly all this energy from renewable sources, to find out why it's still falling short of meeting the demand. as an attempt to make nairobi more livable, we visit a project working to make the city green even taking on the notoriously mackie
11:31 pm
nairobi rid of the i'm told me a lot of boy, it's good to have you with us. how can africa pay for climate positive future? african leaders once sweeping changes to the global financial system to help the continent adapt to the effects of extreme weather and the 1st african climate summit in the cabinet. capital nairobi. discussions with the private sector and civil society focused on raising funds. so as a patient and resilience in the face of climate change. expectations will high as dw mario miller reports. i my expectation is that the african physician will deliver climate, finance, climate justice and an agenda for the strong agenda for cook. indeed, my,
11:32 pm
my hope is that, you know, we come up strongly. we one voice. we are able, for example, to secure the resources that are needed for the claimant's deposition. we are able to, as well to position ourselves as need as you know, in the climate disclose to help to see more youth engagements and lead conversations in much as i mentioned that a petition and with a guest on it was the 1st climate summit to primarily focused on the african continent, africa as most vulnerable to the impact of climate change, but only receives about 12 percent of the annual financing. it needs to cope. what we're seeing is the shots uh more frequent and the scale and the severity of them is increased. how the population is going to be able to build their own resilience . to address the shots that it's work that needs to stop. now, african leaders at the summit where you get to cost the continents, not as a victim, but alone. it's not allowing the fight against global warming,
11:33 pm
the continent has enough potential to be entirely self sufficient. with the mixture of waiting for your time, a sustainable by a months and hydro power in africa, we can be a green industrial. how that helps that res jones. i t that net 0 strategies by 2050 african has of stage unanimously adopted the decoration, the cold for a carbon tax and fossil fuels that relieve measures and the reform of the global financial system to unblocked large scale investments and clean energy of african countries struck climate relates and financing deals with $23000000000.00. as a result of the summit, the united arab emirates, for example, which would hold the call $28.00 climate conference. this november glitched $4500000000.00 alone for $150000000.00 in carbon credits. many consider this the
11:34 pm
success, but the critics or the any justice climate just as advocates says, carbon credits of just a pretext for big polluters to keep imaging carbon dioxide for global enough corporations. the dublin bucket is that we are forcing them on screen like we are doing something. these are all corporate associated with supposed to be done. know that. know he's got out a lot like that. if there is a positive for that investment. but if that mean you're enough, the guy, we must be on the table together with hundreds of other climate activists. he took to know ruby streets, protesting the summit's agenda. they say it push primarily pro with an interest. and we need action, we need to and most of it i knew it's beautiful, instituted that there is available option in the face. and so i'll leave that. i'm glad to see before i like what kind of plan to do fuckin'. that's the big open question heading into the cop 28 summit with the ideas of young africans be
11:35 pm
listened to and taken seriously. joining the conversation from nairobi as the climate justice company in eric into not welcome back to the diabetes africa. eric . now, does the nairobi declaration resonate with the consent of local communities and the civil society? i know it doesn't. we expected a strong commitment from africa as a company does on c, aging out fossil fuels. but we, from the declaration, we had the language around the facing down course, which is a stab in the back to community. it is affected by the impacts of the fossil fuel industry. from uganda, when is it still gave up? and the project is this is literally displacing thousands of people in the community from nigeria who have been affected by the impacts of the show. and overall, the african climate time it was somebody's of
11:36 pm
a festival of full solutions. those a huge um, western and a corporate voice for, for some reason like government markets which give google knows jesus on the appropriate. i think it should. we use uh wireless. they lost it to the emissions and the bids in beads. our ability to um, choose cuts down strongly cuts down emissions to be able to limit the temperature rise up below $1.00 degrees and housing would be a nice base. so that is why i think and people's organized and i know turn it to somebody that's run higher now to do that, i think in climate i made stuff to give african peoples the mind and prioritize the priorities this, this interest each be the declaration emphasizes the agency of reducing emissions, but this is not as easy for some countries as it is others, for example, kenya has your thermal energy. many other countries don't. how do you think there's
11:37 pm
need for the reduction of emissions can be balanced with the need for you can on the growth and create a job creation? i've heard the questionnaire though. it's and i, i don't see why, how, why is phase? is it suppose the die? lemme, it doesn't have to be a, the, or we can develop sustainably, wireless providing jobs for millions and even access to the energy for the media. and so we're going to have access to electricity. it doesn't have to be either or because the developments, the development pathways that pushed on us by the north region, both company intensive on extractive us doing the same impact the way that we offer getting countries that are fully we got in need to be able to develop sustainably using global energy. why this is creating jobs for millions of people on the african continent while it and also in meeting i think it's energy demand. there's
11:38 pm
a lot of the another and much emphasis on the critical role for preparing for the impact of climate change, as well as managing that impact, considering you've personally seen 1st time the devastating effects of extreme weather in kenya, how can vulnerable communities be better equipped to face the change or so right now there is a huge gap in idaho station finance. large communities who are on the front lines all the time. it's crisis. and that is why even during the night does she can jack . i mean, i mean, we were calling for african countries to close on more uh, finance, from global north countries. us to support communities on the front lines of the diamonds crisis. would like to have decent finance so that they're able to build resilience in the, in the face of the drivers crisis. but also when we, when we carry out a patient projects, we need to make sure that equity and justice are the heart of the work that we're
11:39 pm
not treating or replicating the same as this is the same injustices that leads to my lot of patients. i'm 2nd here, we also need um, financing supports communities and whatnot. the back, the state of adapting a need loss and that makes finance because multiple communities are losing their own lives and livelihoods. and they need reparations. reparations from global north countries. so, a big difference, some is that comp and, and, and these gatherings we tend to see the power and balance emphasize between what you have with the wealthier countries versus for example, the africans, and the so called global south. what can be done, you know, as, as you're talking about a call for justice, how can that happen? while so this power and balance that exist are exactly,
11:40 pm
and that is what we hold the applicants. i need somebody to deliver how much position on ad but needs because energy demands. but what we saw was as with an influence and even needed, the owner needs to be a gnostic and certainly derrick g, i'm the voice our own i gender. but even it's called rights, there's a huge boeing balance. and one thing we need to do is uh, create a conflict of interest. what do you see? because there's huge influence, even on upgrades, and especially the falls into the industry in this discussions. meaning that the most people is leading the fight against malaria. and so one thing is that we need to go into it just by you see, but also the other thing is we need just to avoid that, but just to be sure and all the communities. so the voices are really hard in the spaces. rec, comp, $28.00 is coming up in a few months. what would you want the global,
11:41 pm
global leaders and financial institutions to prioritize into discussions, to delete it must as for whether continue to be successful or not, is whether we're going to receive good to have a strong measurement, especially from global not countries. this is facing out fossil fuels, and that is why we call them all the countries in the fulton for the, for agency visit and commit to moving away from fossil fuels. secondly, i think there needs to be support, especially real or not as needed in supporting and law and damage finance. but the key to support communities was lost, their lives and likely to exist as a result of the climate sizes. we also need to reject the full solutions because i stopped in t full solutions, especially the 2 i will 6.4 of the virus argument. i agree, hire getting this dentist age and that is why it's important to you. we need to be just covering margins, we need to reach a problem. got done storage,
11:42 pm
we need to reject something. we really do engineering and reset the agenda to focus on green solutions that just and equitable so that the benefits communities, especially those on the front lines of the government, guy sees that are disproportionately affected. all right, and i think you're gonna climate justice company and thank you for speaking to us. know kenya's green energy future would seem to be well inside the country already generates most of its power from renewables and wants to go all the way by the end of the decade. but despite being able to harness the power of the wind, water and sun, it's still struggling to maintain a constant energy supply. these farm put solar panels on his roof less than 2 years ago. for him, like many others here, guessing power from the sun is a life saver, which is tons to his own supply because it's cheaper and more reliable than can use
11:43 pm
national grid. is that the was compete, bob block out for 2 days. the most of my reading, the thing i did not top of what i'm told a guy on data coupons, i had to walk us through such a years ago, few kenyans had access to electricity. today, around 3 quarters of the population has power. that's tens of millions of people. 90 percent of the country's energy already comes from renewables like wind and solar. with a big hit, the g o semo energy making up 45 percent of can use total power production. the old korea g, or samuel power station, northeast of nairobi, sits the hall to the countries renewable crown. the meeting energy demands requires move in just a plentiful supply of hot steam, one of the logic problems. he's also upgrading the existing infrastructure because it was not designed for renewable energy generation. and so i think that needs to
11:44 pm
be huge investment to make a 100 percent renewable energy future possible. and that is can use dream to go 100 percent renewable by 2030, but it con, to full, to upgrade its energy infrastructure without more investment. and that's why the country has led clothes for a fair system to help african nations access the funds they need. let's bring in somebody, elizabeth room, president and c o at africa finance corporation. thank you for joining us on the program. and now you are just back from the summit and i robi climate finance was a key topic that can you tell us about the f c's involvement in climate financing? thank you very much for having me. so be very involved in front of me finance. you know, from the very beginning we've identified new energy as a base for this kind of book area. and in fact, um,
11:45 pm
green economy as poxel good classic. so we talked to, you know, great um, oh, i said when fine um, so that would provide almost all the images requirements of, uh, we keep replacing the imported file and energy from it. so if you as well as fossil flow, jim h implants, you know, africa has 60 percent of the world's best sort of sauces. and we are copying on that. um, i think it has significant weight resources. i forgot how significant tied to resources, alaska also has pops, you know, um for troubling mutual display as they should. so we have the 1st certified couple of detroit industrial zone in the block. and we think that with the renewable energy though, we generally type in what you, what can be left out of the coupling you tried industrial zone engine warranty as
11:46 pm
well. very mine, it's probably me cheap um an image of trust to do it for most of the international shipping. it's like 50 percent of my time traffic goes to what you say. it makes sense for that to be a trust you back up and with the green energy that we generate. we can build a green. i'm going yeah. i with the house green for us for the ship's us the past to that. so this is something that would be very passionate about. we build the 1st when found in the kids right. now we're doing the 1st thing from age of what you put in there. you know, uh, demonstrating the, the, the, the, the importance of public, private partnerships, the importance of blended finance. the importance of collaboration with several partners too big to just come to life cannot figure a gypsy is own costs to the base. the hope is that it can become fully dependent on
11:47 pm
renewable energy. how easy is it to replicate such projects elsewhere on the continent? so i mean, it depends on the, on the commitment of the government. i think it'd be a good way to understand it repeatedly to is to tell you a bit more about what we did into so, and you want to partner with a green hon investigates which is a state entity we provide the development capital to do is that what you need to, i'm part of that was, it was shooting a public private pop purchase agreement with the government on the back of the me got a well bank, a guarantee of go based obligation in the pop purchase agreement. so that essentially uh, guarantees that the cost of use um from the, uh, the popular. and then we introduced a construction finance, you know, an equity breach to accelerate the development of construction of the project in
11:48 pm
a way that we would reduce the completion of cost of jody scott. so she to put your finance in being hosted. and especially because we where the plant doing corporate, you know, create a disrupt that the, the. ready ready the program, we didn't want to start, you know, the conversation with lenders around the financial clues for the project at the time, like the new look to show, right? so we put in place equity bridge that allowed us to construct the, the plot. we actually walk with cements and jeremy, you know, um to build up lots of that is a very good positive, you know, and it shows to our partnerships, you know, collaborating with spears partners across the world to deliver renewable energy and all right. so slightly, that's something that, kimberly isn't right, projects like that are major infrastructure, all developments on a national level, but how do we bring in the sort of small scale local level to avoid them being left
11:49 pm
behind. and so that financing is not just focusing on such as massive projects. so this is kayla who this is a 60 make up top line. we hope to increase that actually we agreed to you cause it to for a 105 with an expression of what 5 megawatts. and that is cool, you know, to do go to as high as 50 that make of the challenges that the smaller the products are, the more complicated the off, because you have to go through the same process. so the cost benefit analysis becomes, you know, challenging if you have the products below, um, $50.00 megawatts in the 1st instance. what if your scale it up, you can scale up, you know, by 10 to 15. so you can have something either coming to 245 or 10. you can have something, uh, uh, 400 as well. what is important is to have a base, you know,
11:50 pm
i'm 60, that would base and then you can build on top of that. so you can have something specific, you know, because you use the same poplar disagreement. you have the same off because, you know, obviously it's easier to, to, to, um, to the applicants, to what challenges do you anticipate as you carry on this endeavor to support the development of the new renewable energy projects across the continent. everybody needs to the way that you and everybody sees the potential for a new energy. so new energy is a combination of sort of waiting on hydro. and hydro is a bit more prevented because this was the 1st technology that was available. and we see what you choose to upgrade. i don't know if those existing plants with new towards that will. so what you do is just to build new ones. so for example, the and for the what we're doing in the 1st private sector uh let hydro pops out um and it reduces the products in the country significantly. so we're working with
11:51 pm
the government to do the always the opportunities to rehabilitate a high do dumps as well as the opportunity as well. we funds a set of plans across the country cause of continents and we have several pipelines projects. so if you will call last year, we have bunch akila, which is the largest renewable energy assets on the continent with wind farms. um, and so what i mean i to san diego indeed seems, i'm sorry, i think i also have a platform that this wind, you know, so a lot of hydro away going down to 3 gigahertz system was just the potential of the content and the need and you get this, you know, for us to continue to build out to me when it's what's most important, like i mentioned earlier, is the need to have green economies. green industrial parks, you know, uh, focusing on, uh, processing the me know, awesome. it does all but, you know,
11:52 pm
put the energy transition in a sustainable way. we have a project not fox that we sent the other on the investment committee. we're talking about, um, put in an smell top, you know, um to co dot com. i look at the image and all that applied for that is going to be hydro power. and what we're doing is to support the financing under application of an existing hydro, down on the capacity and the energy will be used, you know, to produce. and please also important as we look at talk to, should we use renewable energy for the trustees, or as opposed to using mall fossil fuel to produce renewable energy companies in africa. we have the opportunity to significantly using new energy to process and provide the is. ready the, you know,
11:53 pm
as i mentors out, applied for the economy of wanted to okay, we'll have to leave the conversation there. so my legs are very president of africa . finance corporation. thank you very much for your time. thank you. the heading back to the tenant capital and just across town from the grand discussions of the climate summit, a more modest initiative is attempting to help make the city more livable. so you know, it will be is going fast. and so to is the waste it produces and it's struggling to manage and recycle it adequately. but it's dw felix in the ring of reports. some nairobi, ends think all hope is not lost. this is kind of a bind is fast because fox adrenal i see a lot of kiddos and foremost settlements within. they can then copy, told they roby for a few years. now,
11:54 pm
team members from come train solutions have been planting trees and dresses, including bumble, which i've sold more couple and releases more oxygen. that many of the plants and stuff is one of the 15 we made on the team who have helped to transform this area. so that's good for us and so, so i feel really good and you talk hunter, i'm proud because the policies come, you know, to me to, to my cause what i said, we have put an effort to ensure the community can enjoy clean and relax, you know, aside from green solutions is a useless movement trying to grow awareness of the climate crisis. they've touched this site into a new place before everyone to enjoy young people accuse the quote, i think claimants acts on with about 63 percent of africa's population being young . the come green same here is leveraging one passion, innovation, and cost on progress to create a green and sustainable future. it is
11:55 pm
a transform ation that is still happening. the project is on the balance of and they will be revised the low months of its cost. me the water so they shows obviously both the revised chalk top with keeps of trash and clubs with plastic with the comes from the industries, the homestead and illegal dumping the waste into very bad despite that tons of trash looming over their lives. the group has set up a green from including point 3 and runs a dream mentorship program to see you. and from that before we are not greeting the environment for us so far. but for the next generations in it so that they do not find it on conducive environment at the my think do that so. so if we want to create a better environment for them and show them that this is the way of doing things. yeah. fun the plan is to involve local children so they can learn about the environment and they are building a community kitchen where people would be able to cook some of the produce, know,
11:56 pm
been growing in the area. you know, that's it. so now indeed of the news africa, we'll see you next time. i'm totally illogical. bye for now the
