Welcome to our fourth webinar in our new series. This webinar will discuss the concept of energy poverty and explore some of the main challenges in addressing energy poverty within developing countries that are themselves facing growing climate change risks. Energy poverty expert Moussa Na Abou Mamouda, from CTCN Consortium Partner ENDA Energy, will present this seminar. ENDA Energy is managed by Secou SARR.
Our presenter will discuss climate technologies related to energy poverty, focusing specifically on examples from Africa, highlighting the barriers for diffusion and use of climate technologies to address energy poverty and discussing some of the different technologies that can be used to develop more climate-smart, clean energy systems in developing countries while at the same time reducing energy poverty. With this regard, the presenter will showcase some success stories and case studies from African developing countries and devise key messages as advocacy for the promotion of suitable climate technologies for energy poverty alleviation.
