The world is facing a critical climate crisis, and the reality of climate change is undeniable. While the effects may not be immediately apparent, our collective daily actions, inactions, and choices significantly contribute to or mitigate this challenge. To make a positive difference, we must take practical steps in our daily lives, such as reducing the use of single-use plastics, promoting reuse, and supporting eco-friendly products. No individual action is too insignificant to contribute to the transformation of our world. Together, we can drive the necessary change to address the climate crisis and secure a sustainable future. The Center for Climate Action, Innovation and Engagement (CCAIE) is intentional about this endeavor. #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #ReduceSingleUsePlastics #PromoteReuse #EcoFriendly #CollectiveAction #ClimateInnovation #ClimateEngagement #CCAIE

Great sharing. The Energy nexus is pivotal in the current times and taking a good stride. The unanswered question in pursuit for the magic bullet to guide us should be; 1, Have we diagnosed the energy poverty crisis? What is it for starters? 2. Are we speaking to the human behavior characteristics of the energy needs of our target beneficiaries? 3. Are we placing the right technologies on the market? 4. Are the technologies accessible? 5. What about the enablers beyond energy leadership? 6. Have the gender lenses given us a pure scan of the community interests and bottlenecks retarding acceleration in uptake? 7. Have we digested the ability to pay for the technologies Vs the willingness to buy? 8. What business and financing models are we working with for the different target segments? 9. Why do we observe a slow fund absorption by would-be-thirsty target communities from the financial institutions running GREEN loans? 10. Is the problem with the policies and regulatory framework or rather the process and mainstreaming strategies and how we domesticate them? Friends, it is time to cut the size of the cloth based on the right sizes
