7 to 6. in 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo to discover some of us regular bragging sites on youtube. and also the, this is dw news africa coming up on the program. how can ask a fund, a climate positive future as african leaders pledge 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 its energy from renewable sources, to find out why it's still swollen short of meeting the demand. as an attempt to make nairobi more livable, we visit a project working to make the city green

a. you've been taking on the notoriously mackey and i roby river. the . i'm telling you 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, 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, 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 guess 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 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 along it's not allowing the fight against global warming, the quoting, and has not potential to be entirely self sufficient. with the mixture of waiting for your time, a sustainable by a much and hydro pop in africa, we can be a green industrial. how that helps out that regions 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 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 left

$4500000000.00 alone. 450000000 in carbon credits. many consider the success, but the critics or the 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 clean, 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 policy to for the 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's pushed primarily pro with an interest . and we need action. we need to and most of that 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 like what kind of plan to do for kids. that's the big open

question heading into the comp 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 meetings 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 evening out fossil fuels. but we, from the declaration, we had the language there on 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, whether it 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 shell. 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 appropriate. i think it should. we use uh wireless. they lost it to the emissions. and the bids impedes. our ability to choose cuts down strongly cuts down emissions to be able to limit the temperature rise up below 1.5 degrees and housing via nice this. so that is why i think and people's organized and i know tentative some, it's next run higher. now to do that, i think in climate 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 it's 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 pushed or not by video, but didn't know if we just looked company intensive and extracting but 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 hand the devastating effects of extreme weather in kenya, how can vulnerable communities be back to 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, makes graces, and that is why even during the night does she didn't jack. i mean, i mean, we were calling for african countries to close on more uh, finance, from global in most countries, us 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 an application projects,

we need to make sure that equity and justice are the heart of the work that we're not creating or replicating the same just as the same injustices that needs to modify the patient. second 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're 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 applicant, timing 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 bt to be a. now i can 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 fall seems to 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? it really is most just for whether continue to be successful or not is whether we're going to receive, going to have a strong measurement, especially from global or not countries that is facing out fossil fuels. and that is why we call them all the countries in the fulton food underneath our agency, and google meets to moving away from fossil fuels. secondly, i think there needs to be support, especially really not even in supporting on laws and diamonds finance, but the chief to support communities will be lost, their lives and likely to exist as a result of the climate sizes. we also need to reject the full solutions because i've talked indeed full solutions, especially to article 6 point for the virus argument. i agree and i are getting this dentist age, and that is why it's called indeed, we need to be just

a couple of markets. we need to be generous um, probably not done storage. we need to reject something. we really do engineering and reset oh agenda to focus on reading solutions that are just and equitable so that the benefits communities, especially those on the front lines of the limits. prices that are disproportionately affected. all right, and you're gonna climate justice company and i thank you for speaking to us. now 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 hon is 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, getting 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 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 going to. yeah. you on data to pumps. i had to work through like 30 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 countries energy already comes from renewables like wind and solar. with it's big catch, the g o semo energy making up 45 percent of can use total power production. the old korea g or some will power station, northeast of nairobi, sits the house of the countries renewable. crown. the meeting energy demands requires move in just a plentiful supply of hot steam. one of the larger problems is 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 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 that to bring in somebody. eliza barrow 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 topics that can you tell us about the f c's involvement in climate financing? thank you very much for having me. so it'd be very involved in front of me finance . you know, from the very beginning we've identified renewable energy as of age. they've got

a good area. and in fact, um, green economy as their 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 to appear 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 type of resources and that goes or has the pops, you know, um for couple of detroit supplies they should. so we have the 1st certified couple of detroit industrial zone in google. and we think that with the renewable energy

though, we generally type in what you, what can be with other coupling you tried industrial zone engine warranty as well, very mine its proxy, me to, um, an image of trust 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 degree 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 data, 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 that 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 to is to tell you a bit 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 of capital to the risk of 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, the 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. and especially because we where the plant doing corporate, you know, co, it's a disrupt that the, the. ready ready the program we didn't want to talk, you know, it composition with lenders around the financial clues for a project at the time. i talked to him about that. so we put in place equity bridge that allowed us to construct the, the plot. we actually walk with cements in germany, you know, um to build up line. so that is a very good positive, you know, and it shows to our partnerships, you know, collab reaching experience partners across the world to deliver renewable energy. and a slave is not something that comes up, is that right? and projects like that are major infrastructure 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 so did massive projects. so this is caleb, this is a 6 that may go problem. we hope to increase that actually we've agreed to increase it to 405 with an expression of what 5 megawatts, and that is cool, you know, to do go to as high as 50 megahertz. the challenges are, the smaller the products are, the more complicated they are, because you have to go to the same process. so the cost benefit analysis becomes, you know, challenging if you're the products below the $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 in to 45, 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, because you use the same pop, which is agreement. you have the same off because, you know, obviously it's easier to, to, to, to applicants. so what challenges do you anticipate as you carry on this end of it, 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 new 12 cards that will show up what you do is just to build a new one. so for example, for the well, we're building the 1st private sector uh let hydro power plant and

it produces the products in the country significantly. so we're working with a government to do that and we see opportunities to rehabilitate a high do dumps as well as the support changes 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 and sought after ourselves. we have a platform that is when, you know, sort of an hydro away 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 kind of these green industrial parks, you know,

focusing on the process. and i mean, they're awesome. it does all 5, you know, put the energy transition in a sustainable way. 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 go that cup of tea. i look at the image of the pie, so that is going to be tied to a pallet. and what we're doing is to support the financing up to help me taishan of an existing uh hydro, down from the capacity and not the energy will be used. you know, to produce i'm please also important that as we look at talk to should we use renewable energy for the trustees are, as opposed to using mall um, 1st of 12 to produce renewable energy companies in africa. we have the opportunity to significantly using new energy to process. i'll provide the is

the, the knowledge and metals out of 5 for the economy of financial. 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. heading back to the 10 and 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 not really is going fast and so to is the wasted produces and it's struggling to manage and recycle it adequately. but as dw felix in 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 him. ok, knows him foremost settlements within the kingdom. capitana said roby for

a few years now. team members from commtrans solutions. i've been planting trees and dresses, including bumble, which i've sold, woke up one and releases more oxygen, and many of upland stuff is one of the 15 we made on the team. 12 helped to transform these abs. so that's good for us and so, so i feel really good and need talk to you. i'm proud because the policies come, you know, to me just to my car what i thought 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 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 liberating one 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 and they will be 3 of the low months of it's cost me the water. so they chose out of the simple, the revised chalk top with keeps of trash and club. the plastic with that comes from the industries, the homestead and illegal dumping the waste into very bad despite the tons of trash looming over their lives. the group has set up a green from including poultry and runs a g mentorship program to see you. and from that before we are not greeting the environment for us, but for the next generation generated 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 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, been growing in the area or no, that's it. so now indeed of the news africa, we'll see you next time. i'm totally illogical. bye for now, the
