IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 2015-2030


Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (Agenda 21):
The result of the effort of 178 countries that met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the first International Earth Summit on June 1992, convened to address urgent problems of environmental protection and social-economic development. The assembled leaders signed the Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity, endorsing the Rio Declaration and the Forest Principles, and adopted the Agenda 21.

The Johannesburg Declaration:
Assembled at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa in September 2002, representatives of the world reaffirmed their commitment to sustainable development and endorsed a declaration and plan of implementation.

The Kyoto Protocol:
The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement under which industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990. The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons - averaged over the period of 2008-2012. National limitations range from 8% reductions for the European Union and some others to 7% for the US, 6% for Japan, 0% for Russia, and permitted increases of 8% for Australia and 10% for Iceland.

The 2005 World Summit Outcome:
Article 56 - Item (i) - “To accelerate the development and dissemination of affordable and cleaner energy efficiency and energy conservation technologies, as well as the transfer of such technologies, in particular to developing countries, on favorable terms, including on confessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed, bearing in mind that access to energy facilitates the eradication of poverty.” Article 60 - Item (d) - “Primary drivers of national capacity building for development; promoting and supporting greater efforts to develop renewable energy sources of energy available.”

The UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development:
The Commission was established in 1992 to provide the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council with high-level advice on relevant issues through analysis and appropriate policy recommendations or options in order to enable those organs to guide the future work of the United Nations, develop common policies and agree on appropriate actions.

The G7 Call to Invest in Developing Countries to Fight Climate Change:
Finance chiefs of the Group of Seven rich nations called on February 9th, 2008 for investment in developing countries to help them fight climate change and worked on plans for a World Bank-style fund. Finance ministers and central bank chiefs, in a joint statement after talks in Tokyo, said they hoped to “scale up investment in developing countries to support them in joining international efforts to address climate change.”

World Energy Outlook

  • Worldwide 1.3 billion people – a population equivalent to that of the entire OECD – continue to live without access to electricity
  • This is equivalent to 18% of the global population and 22% of those living in developing countries.
  • Nearly 97% of those without access to electricity live in sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia.
  • The largest populations without electricity are in India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) and Indonesia
  • Energy is a critical enabler because it is essential for the provision of clean water, sanitation and healthcare, and provides great benefits to development through the provision of reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transport and telecommunication services.
  • Energy is a critical enabler because it is essential for the provision of clean water, sanitation and healthcare, and provides great benefits to development through the provision of reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transport and telecommunication services.

Renewable Energy

  • Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished).
  • Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation.
  • Advantages of Renewable Energy:
    • Little to No Global Warming Emissions
    • Improved Public Health and Environmental Quality
    • A Vast and Inexhaustible Energy Supply
    • Jobs and Other Economic Benefits
    • Stable Energy Prices
    • A More Reliable and Resilient Energy System
    • Renewable Energy Is Economically Sound
    • Renewable Energy Is Democratic

Functions of SEAPI

  • Providing governments in need the access to renewable energy technologies available to them through companies SEAPI sanctions
  • Evaluation of innovative technologies
  • Overseeing the implementation of pilot projects
  • Provide independent review of technologies for feedback to Governments and private companies
  • Provide input of viability and scalability of projects in diverse climates
  • Coordinate and host conferences which bring experts from UN Agencies, Member States, and professional from the corporate and academic communities to highlight the benefits of Sustainable Renewable Energy
  • Host an annual Awards event honoring those at the forefront of renewable energy Innovation based on best practices

Sustainable Development Commission

  • SEAPI mission is to foster the development of communities, improve human health, ensure environmental balance and create prosperity in rural areas
  • SEAPI will engage projects at any point in the development process, from project conception, to planning and design, through construction and occupancy.
  • Also focus on:
    • Renewable energy
    • Natural resources
    • Waste recovery
    • Agriculture and food systems
    • Communications

Sustainable Programmes

Solar Panel Villages & Homes

  • 19% of the global population lives without access to electricity according to the International Energy Agency.
  • In Tanzania 86% of the population has no electricity
  • This population get their energy mostly for heating and cooking—from charcoal, wood, and other biomass
  • Indoor air pollution kills more than 4 million people every year, more than AIDS and malaria combined. Increasing access to clean energy is literally a matter of life or death
  • Today, thousands of villages are turning to solar as the solution
  • These aren’t the oceanic fields of solar panels nor the grid-connected rooftop systems that power homes
  • Instead, these are small kits that come complete with the necessary panels, wiring, power converters, and batteries to power a few lightbulbs, a small appliance and a cellphone charger

LED Lights

  • Even today there are thousands of villages across the globe that lack proper lighting system on their roads and in their homes
  • LED lights are designed to operate more efficiently compared to CFL Lights or Bulbs
  • LEDs consume 60% less energy and reflect more lumens per watt than ordinary lights
  • Using solar power and LED lights, companies are able to manufacture sustainable lighting system for villages that face short of electricity. This technology is a boon to villagers and is a major improvement to their lifestyle
  • The use of this technology reduces the burning wood and other material to produce light during the night

Portable Energy Products

  • Portable energy products also help improve the lifestyle of people living in villages
  • Devices that offer light, radio and charging dock for mobiles, all recharged using solar power
  • Products ranging from Solar Power Banks, Solar Power USB Chargers and many other useful device

Education Commission

  • SEAPI would also like to focus on education by turning information into knowledge that translates into action, resulting in positive global change
  • Embrace learning practices and a communication strategy that generates attitudinal and behavioral change in students young and old
  • Create a new generation of people who think differently and act proactively toward improving our relationship to each other and our natural environment
  • Primarily focused on UN SDG#4, SEAPI curricula is based primarily on K-12 education
  • Primary functions include:
    • Clearinghouse for developer of educational materials
