in 60 minutes on d w, we say they're never giving up every weekend on d w the, this is dw news africa coming up on the program. how come africa fund a climate positive future? as african leaders pledge action on the climate crisis and call for global supports, we ask if the plan will propel the continent towards the green goals. also coming up, even though kenya gets nearly all its energy from renewable sources, find out why it's still swollen short of meeting the demand. and an attempt to make nairobi more livable. we visit

a project working to make the city green even taking on the notoriously mackey and i. roby river. the i'm telling me a lot of boy, it's good to have you with us. how can africa pay for a 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 kind of capital nairobi. discussions with the private sector and civil society focused on raising funds to help as a patient and resilience in the face of climate change. expectations were high as dw mario miller reports. i my expectation is that an african physician will deliver med, finance,

climate justice and an agenda for the strong agenda for cook. indeed, my, my hope is that, you know, we come up strong with one voice. so 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, you know, the decline made disclose to help to see more youth engagements and lead conversations. and much as i mentioned that a petition and with a guest on it was the 1st time at 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 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 and its work that needs to stop now. but african leaders at

the summit were eager to cause the continent not as a victim, but alone ignored ally in the fight against global warming, the quoting and has no potential to be entirely self sufficient. with that mixture of waiting for your time, a sustainable by a months and hydro pump in africa, we can be a green industrial. how that helps out that these jumps i t that net 0 strategies by 2050 african heads of stage unanimously adopted the declaration. the cold for a carbon tax and fossil fuels that relieve measures and the reform of the global financial system to unblock large scale investments and clean energy of african countries struck climate, relates and financing deals with 23 $1000000000.00. as a result of the summit, the united arab emirates for example, which would hold the call $28.00 climate conference. this november left

$4500000000.00 alone. 450000000 in carbon credits. many consider the success, but the critics or any justice economic justice advocates says carbon credits of just the pre textbook big polluters to keep imaging, carbon dioxide for global and not corporations. the dublin bucket is that we are forcing them on screen like we are doing something. this is all corporate social responsibility. i know that know, it's kind of like 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 climates active as 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 flag,

hulu. fucking. that's the big open question heading into the cop 28 summit with the ideas of young africans be listened to and taken seriously. joining the conversation from nairobi as the climate justice company in eric and just do not welcome back to the meeting. is 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 the easing 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 a literally displacing thousands of people in the community from nigeria who have been affected by the impacts of scale. and overall,

the african climate time it was the summit of a festival of full solutions. those a huge um western and the corporate voice for, for some reason like government markets which give global noise and jesus on the culprit, i think it is. we use a wireless, they lost it to the emissions, and the bids in beads, our ability to choose cuts down strongly cuts down emissions to be able to limit the temperature rise up below $1.00 degrees and housing via nice space. so that is why i think and people's organized and i know tentative some, it's next run higher now to do that getting climate. so i may just to give african peoples the mind and prioritize 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 just them all energy, many other countries don't. how do you think there's 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's both as a di. 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 us pushed on us by the global north. we just bought a company intensive next truck the of us doing the same impact. the way that we offered in countries are for the we, we got in need to be able to develop sustainably using global energy, whether it's creating jobs for millions of people on data again,

continents while it and also in meeting i think it's energy demand. there's 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 back to equipped to face the change so right now there is a huge gap in idaho station finance. large communities who are on the front lines all the time, makes graces. and that is why even during the night does she can jack. i mean, i mean, we will only for african countries to close on more uh, finance, from global not countries to support communities on the front lines of the damaged crisis. we'd 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 the equity and justice are the heart of the work that we are not creating or replicating the same as it says, the same injustices that needs to modify the patient. um 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 to reparations reparations from global north countries. so these different, 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 talking about a call for justice, how can that happen?

while so this power and balance that exist? exactly, 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 data g and 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 we do is leading the fights 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 to secretion of the communities. so the voices are really hard in the spaces. eric comp 28th is coming up in

a few months. what would you want the global, global leaders and financial institutions to prioritize into discussions? i believe it must ask for whether continue to be successful or not. is whether we're going to receive good to have a strong amendment, especially from global, not countries in facing out fossil fuels. and that is why we call them all the countries in the fulton for the, for agency. this of um and good commit to moving away from fossil fuels. secondly, i think there needs to be support, especially real or not as needed in supporting on law and damage finance. but the key to supports communities was lost, their lives and livelihoods as a result of the climate sizes. we also need to reject the full solutions because i talked in t uh, ford solutions, especially the to i to 6 point for the of the virus argument. i agree, hire getting this dentist age and that is why it's coaching. th,

we need to be just covering margins. we need to be just a problem. got done. storage we need to exec, sorry we do engineering and reset the o agenda to focus on green solutions that just and equitable so that the benefits communities, especially those on the front lines of the government's prices that are disproportionately affected. all right, and if you're gonna kind of adjust this company and thank you for speaking to us. okay, news, 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 part of the wind, water and sun, it's still struggling to maintain a constant energy supply. these farm up 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

national grid is a, d was compete, bob block out for 2 days. the most of my read it to me it's i, i did not top of what i'm going to. yeah. you on data to pumps. i had to work 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 its big catch, 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 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 can't afford 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 that to 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 will be very involved in front of me finance . you know, from the very beginning we've identified renewable energy as of age for this kind

of book area. and in fact, green economy as the poxel good for africa. so we talk to, you know, great um how upset when fine. um, so that would provide almost all the images requirements of uh we keep replacing um uh imported file and energy from it. so yeah. as well as um, fossil flow generation plans. you know, africa has 60 percent of the world's best. so that sauces and we are copying on that. um, i think it has significant with the sauces. i forget how significant tied to resources. alaska also has pops. you know, um for couple of detroit supplies issue. so we have the 1st certified couple of detroit industrial zone in google. and we think that with the renewal and is,

you know, we generally type in what you, what can be left out of the coupling you tried industrial zone engine warranty as well. very mine its proxy, me to, um, an image that tries to do it for most of the international should if i pay 50 percent off, my topic goes to what you say. it makes sense for that to be a trust you've been comp and with the green energy that we generate. we can build a green. i'm going yeah, i with the house. i'm reading for us for the ships us the past to that. so this is something that would be very passionate about. we build the 1st when found in the kid, but now we're doing the 1st thing from age of what you put in there. you know, uh, demonstrating the, the, the, the importance of public private partnerships, the importance of blended finance. the importance of collaboration with several partners too big for just come to life cannot figure

a gypsy is on costs to the base. the hope is that it can become fully dependent on 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. t is to tell you. ready more about what we did into so, and you want to partner with the 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 and bob purchase agreement. so that essentially uh, guarantees that the cost of use um from the uh, the popular and then we introduced the construction finance. you know,

an equity breach to accelerate the development of construction of the project in a way that we would reduce the completion of construction risk up. so she to put your finance in being hosted, especially because we where the plant doing corporate, you know, co, it's a disrupt that the, the, the program we didn't want to talk, you know, it composition with lenders around the financial clues for a project at the time back documented to show records. so we put in place equity bridge that allowed us to stop the, the plot. we actually walk with cements in germany. you know, um, to build up lots of that is a very good positive. you know, uh, and it shows the, our partnerships, you know, come up with you and it's because partners across the world to deliver renewable energy and a slightly not something coming up is that right? and projects like that are major infrastructural development on

a national level. but how do we bring in the sort of small scale local level to avoid them being left behind. and so that financing is not just focusing on such as massive projects. so this is kayla who, this is a 60 may go offline. we hope to increase that actually we've agreed to you cause it to for a 105 with an expression of what, 5 megabytes and that is cool, you know, to do go to as high as the gods. but the challenge is that this one of the products are the more complicated they are, because they also go to 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 have something, uh, uh, 400 as well. what is important is to have a base. you know,

i'm 60, that would base and then you can build on top of that. so you can even have something specific. you know, uh because you use the same pop, which is agreement. you have the same off to cuz you know, honestly it's easier to, to, to, um, to applicants. so 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 new energy. so new energy is a combination of sort of waiting on hydro. and hydro is a bit more preventive because this was the 1st technology that was available. and we see what you do choose to upgrade a lot of those existing plants with in utah, barnes that will show up what you do is just to build a new one. so for example, for the web, web builder in the 1st private sector. uh, let hydro power plant and it reduces the products in the countries difficulty.

so we're working with a government to do that and we see opportunities to rehabilitate a high do tabs as well as the support inches for we firms. i still have plans across the country uh course of continents, and we have several pipelines projects. so if you will call last year, we have by the kayla, which is the largest renewable energy assets on the continent between firms. um, and so a lot in san diego, in digits on the side of the drive. uh south. we have a platform that is uh, wind. you know, sort of an idle way going down to 3 gigawatts system, was just a picture of the content and the need and you get this, you know, for us to continue to build dr. new when it's, what is most important, like i mentioned earlier, is the need to have green. i'm kind of huge green industrial parks, you know,

um, focusing on uh, processing domino. awesome. it does not apply it, you know, put the energy transition in a sustainable way. um we have a project not fox, we send the other or the investment committee we're talking about um to put in an smell. so you know um to conduct a cup of tea. i look at the image of the price. what that is going to be tied to a pallet, and what we're doing is to support the financing up to have the patient of an existing uh hydro, down from the capacity. and then as you will be used for just a moment, please also important that we look at see should we use renew energy for the trustees, or as opposed to using a mall um, 1st of 12 to produce renewable energy companies. and i think i would have the opportunity to significantly using new energy to process and provide the

is. ready the minerals and metals out of 5 for the economy also an issue. okay, we'll have to leave the conversation there. somebody has a 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 them make the city more livable. so you know, ruby is going fast and so too is the waste it produces and it's struggling to manage and recycle it adequately. but as dw is fixing the ring of reports, some nairobi ends think all hope is not lost. this is kind of a bind, is fuss because fox adrenal i see a lot of kiddos informal settlements within they can then copy told they will be

for a few years. now. team members from commtrans solutions have been planting trees and grasses, including bumble, which episode woke up one and releases more oxygen. that many of our plants and stuff is one of the 15 we made on the team who have helped to transform these area . so that's good for us and so, so i feel really good and need talk you and i'm proud because the policies come, you know, to me just to my cause what i thought we have put an effort to ensure the community can enjoy clean and relax you know, aside from green solutions, if a useless movements trying to grow awareness of the climate crisis, they've touched this site into a new place for everyone to enjoy. young people accuse to quote, as in claim its action. with about 63 percent of africa's population being young, the come green thing here is leveraging on partial and innovation and constant

progress to create a green and sustainable future. it to transform ation that is still happening. the project is on the balance of a neighbor because of the low months of its costs need that water. so they shows of the simple, the revised chalk top with keeps of trash and club. the plastic with that comes from the industries, homestead and illegal dumping the waste into their revenge. despite the tons of trash looming over their lives, the group has set up a green from including poultry and runs a green mentorship program. you see on the internet before we are not greeting the environment for us. so if we look for the next generations in it so that they do not find it on conducive environment at the most indeed at yahoo. so if we want to create a better environment for them and show them it's, 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, been growing in the area. you know, that's it. as an island dw news africa, we'll see you next time. i'm totally. alrighty. bye bye. for now. the

hey, i extend a range at the international motor show 2023. what kind of the technology you already do today? read reports, i am unaware. sci fi excludes the most impressive innovation, artificial intelligence, and called the ranking rev. in 30

minutes on the w to the point, clear positions, international perspectives to the chinese president will not attend the g 20 meeting and deepening what seems to be an ever growing rivalry with another agent powerhouse. so on to the point we ask india boons, china, what does it mean for the rest of the world? to the point in 90 minutes on the w, the really used to reverse page researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and arrival

with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary. imagine how many portions of loves us turn out in the world right now. climate change, the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work on doing the flex. this subscriber for molding is like the question of the question about lice, the universe and every thing usually answer. well then, given here,
