Le programme Transition écologique veut impulser un changement écologique et social qui façonne nos villes et notre système énergétique pour un avenir plus durable.

Se basant sur deux approches principales à savoir le Développement Urbain Durable et la Justice énergétique, ce programme œuvre en faveur d’:

Un avenir énergétique équitable, inclusif et durable pour tous et toutes ;
Et un développement urbain durable et inclusif qui favorise des pratiques d’économie circulaire et renforce la souveraineté alimentaire pour garantir des systèmes alimentaires résilients, locaux et accessibles.

Les activités du programme Transition écologique vise :

Une compréhension commune et l’élaboration d’approches de conseil politique visant à un système énergétique durable et sensible au genre, tout en tenant compte des risques liés à l'utilisation des ressources fossiles ;
A encourager la mobilisation et la mise en œuvre d’approches décentralisées et transformatrices d'initiatives locales dans les domaines de l'économie circulaire et de la souveraineté alimentaire, contribuant ainsi à un développement urbain durable et sensible au genre.

Tribunal halts construction of Amu coal power plant in Kenya

Article

The Government of Kenya has proposed a 1,050 Megawatt (MW) coal plant to be built in Kwasasi, Lamu County, 20km from Lamu Town. The project will be operated by Amu Power on a joint venture by two Kenyan companies, Gulf Energy and Centum. Residents of Lamu County are opposed to the power plant due to the negative economic, environmental, and health impacts it wil have on the ecosystem in Lamu. Building the plant will cause Kenya to be in violation of international treaties and impact Kenya's ability to keep its Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Accord.

Mobilizing resources urgently for climate action: overcoming longstanding challenges and learning from Covid-19

Study

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that countries can marshal significant resources quickly and at scale in an emergency. The climate crisis requires no less.

Just Say No to Agricultural Gene Drives

By forcing laboratory-made genes on an entire population or species, cutting-edge gene-drive technologies have the power to transform entire ecosystems in one fell swoop. But where leading industrial agriculture firms see dollar signs, farmers in the regions where gene drives could be unleashed see a mortal threat to their livelihoods.
