Sustainable access to climate-friendly and affordable


Approximately 18% of the world's population does not have access to electricity even though this is essential for sustainable development and reducing poverty. The SDC supports the "Energising Development" project (EnDev) that aims to ensure sustainable access to energy for some 15 million people in developing countries by 2018.

Background

Peru's continuing economic growth rate permits increased government spending towards closing equity gaps and enabling rural development processes through public policies and investment mechanisms. The regional governments of Cusco and Apurímac remain committed to adaptation, in a context of growing socio-environmental conflicts involving mining companies and communities.

Target groups

1. Governments in developing and emerging countries.
2. National and international training and education centres that want to strengthen their climate change education capacities.

Medium-term outcomes

Contribute to consolidating the livelihood basis and reducing the vulnerability of the population to climate change, with regard to those living in medium and high poverty levels in rural highland areas.

Results

Developed climate strategies in the five pilot countries: Benin, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Malawi and Uganda.

Developed global learning platform with more than 46,000 visitors from 195 countries.

expected or already achieved outcomes for this phase: 

  • At the international level: Strengthen and develop competencies for dealing with climate change, i.e. improve the exchange of information in the area of climate education, designing learning materials together with UN CC:Learn partners, strengthen thematic alliances with other organisations and programmes.
  • At the national level: Strengthen competencies for dealing with climate change in the education sector, i.e. systematic, long-term and results-oriented education approaches to climate change in interested partner countries, in collaboration with national and regional institutions.
