GEAPP Leadership Council (Spring 2024)

🌍 A sustainable future—both for people and the planet—is entirely dependent on us changing how we chart the world’s path to growth.

One way I show my commitment to people and the planet is through my involvement with the GEAPP Leadership Council.

Alongside leaders in government, industry and nonprofit, we are creating transformational action, pushing renewable energy as the key stronger economies.

The GEAPP Leadership Council’s collective action is an opportunity to power transformational change in low- and middle-income countries.

I’m a proud member of the GLC because we know #renewableenergy is the key to ensuring a sustainable, prosperous future for people and the planet. 

💚 From strengthening healthcare and growing job opportunities to electrifying households, renewable energy is THE catalyst for global change.

Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) is fundamental to achieving universal access.

💪 Deploying $30bn in capital by 2030 can unlock pivotal cost and adoption tipping points to achieve SDG7, while avoiding 0.3Gt CO2 emissions.

Through the DRE Scale-Up Initiative, the GLC has agreed to focus on expanding and coordinating investments across program areas to achieve the $30bn capital flow that is urgently required for transformative change in sector by 2030, with an initial 1GW project pipeline goal in key markets in 2024.

This includes building on existing programs led by GEAPP and its partners—including the joint effort announced recently by the World Bank and African Development Bank to connect at least 300 million people to electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030 through both DRE and grid extension solutions. ☀️

💡685 million people around the world are still living without electricity.

Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) is proving to be one of the least-cost and most efficient ways to bring electricity to the last mile and is already revolutionizing energy access on a global scale. My fellow @Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet Leadership Council members @Guangzhe Chen and @Joseph Ng’ang’a share how DRE can make universal access to electricity by 2030 a reality.
