 DECENTRALIZING POWER PRODUCTION TO PROVIDE ENERGY SOLUTIONS TO RURAL COMMUNITIES

Almost one billion people in the world still do not have access to electricity. Most of them live in rural areas of the developing world. Access to electricity in the rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa is only 28%, roughly, 600 million people. In recent years, poverty has been officially recognized to be at the core of development.The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number one of the United Nations (UN) is no poverty, and it is acknowledged that economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality. Infrastructure is recognized as having a high importance on a country economic development. Rural development can be defined as the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively isolated and sparsely populated. Rural electrification and sustainable development of rural communities have been investigated extensively, and it has been shown that there is an evident relationship between them. Rural electrification can act as an enabler, a facilitator, and a driver for sustainable development.

 

PROCESSING WASTE INTO ENERGY TO HELP MITIGATE GLOBAL WARMING

Meeting growing global demand for energy, while tackling climate change and pollution, is a fundamental challenge facing society. It was the focus of two historic meetings convened by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. In New York, world leaders agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals. They range from eradicating hunger to ensuring clean water is available for everyone. The United Nations (UN) identified energy as a crucial common link for achieving these ambitious goals. Later, in Paris, world leaders agreed to work towards limiting the global rise in temperature to well below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels, to avoid the more serious effects of climate change. Both the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement have galvanised countries, companies and individuals to strengthen efforts to cut greenhouse gas emission and improve air quality, while providing the energy that powers our lives. A transformation of the global energy system is needed. This will take place at different paces depending on a range of factors, from national policies to the technologies and products consumers choose.

Un paradoxe aussi flagrant entre politique et économie inspire forcément quelques réflexions. Cliquez sur le PDF pour décharger le document.
