- News 26 November 2024 Energy efficiency lighting the way for Kenya’s schools Shelton Nyakundi, an 18-year-old student at the Menengai boarding school in Nakuru, Kenya, believes one simple thing could make the difference between the academic success and failure of many pupils: light. Nyakundi’s school switches off the lights at 10 p.m. to save electricity, depriving students of valuable studying time. “Right now, lack of light is a limiting factor, both in the evenings and in the mornings,” says Nyakundi. The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is supporting a pilot…

- Webinar & E-Learning 14 November 2024 Supporting the development of ESCO markets in Africa – the role of aggregation and standardisation (Webinar) - 22.10.2024 ESCOs have been struggling with the adapted financing component of their offer and the challenges that come with the need for rapid payback from their clients. While ESCO markets are thriving and developing in China, the US, the EU and more recently in Latin American countries, ESCO markets still struggle on the African continent. In this context, governments need to lead by example by investing in energy efficiency retrofit programs in public facilities (offices, schools, hospitals,…
- Event 14 November 2024 Webinar: Clean Cooking with Agricultural Residues Creating access to clean cooking is essential for climate action and was underscored at the recent high-level summit on clean cooking for Africa, organized by the IEA in May 2024. Charcoal and firewood remain major contributors to deforestation and account for 60-80% of black carbon emissions across Africa, driving substantial net carbon emissions. Using briquettes and pellets from agricultural residues as fuel can offer a sustainable alternative that protects forest ecosystems, supports local…
