Harnessing Carbon Markets for Africa
Harnessing Carbon Markets for Africa
We are the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP).
GEAPP is an alliance of philanthropies, local entrepreneurs, governments in emerging and developed economies, and technology, policy, and financing partners. We are a change agent, with a singular focus on the symbiotic challenges of solving energy poverty within a green energy transition, consistent with job-creation and other development needs.
Our common mission is to support developing countries’ shift to a clean energy, pro-growth model that ensures universal energy access, unlocking a new era of inclusive economic growth, while enabling the global community to meet critical climate goals during the next decade. In doing so, as an alliance we aim to:
Create Jobs and Sustainable Livelihoods: enable 150 million new jobs; Reduce Carbon: reduce 4 gigatons of future carbon emissions; Expand Energy Access: expand energy access to 1 billion people.
Since 1913, the aim of the Rockefeller foundation has been to promote the wellbeing of humanity and make opportunities universally available for all and sustainable as well.
SEforALL is an international organisation that partners together with the United Nations and government leaders, the private sector financial intermediaries, the civil society as well as philanthropists, in order to drive fast action towards achieving SDG7- access to affordable, reliable, sustainable sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030 – in line with the Paris Agreement on climate.
The UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNEA) is an organisation mandated to promote inclusive and sustainable development in support of accelerating the economic diversification as well as structural transformation of Africa. It was established by ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council) in 1958 as one of the UN's 5 regional commissions.
