About us
About Alliance For Green Buildings Africa (AGEA) The Alliance for Green Buildings Africa (AGBA) is an alliance of philanthropy, developed economies, and technology, policy, and financing partners. Our common mission is to enable LMIC’s shift to a green economies, pro-growth model that accelerates to green and inclusive economic growth, while supporting the global community to meet critical climate goals during the next decade. The Alliance for Green Buildings Africa is run by 12k Worldwide Events group and we are positioning Africa in the green economy value-chain and promise. The United Nations Environment program defines the green economy as low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. In a green economy, it is believed that growth in employment and income are driven by public and private investment into such economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow reduced carbon emissions and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The notion of green economy does not replace sustainable development, but creates a new focus on the economy, investment, capital and infrastructure, employment and skills and positive social and environmental outcomes across Africa and the world.

First Day Highlights from the WorldGBC Global Solutions Forum: A Dive into Sustainable Building and Climate Action🌍 Today marked an inspiring start at the WorldGBC Global Solutions Forum, where the Botswana Green Building Council representatives Thandi Katlholo and Eileen Thato Monageng played a pivotal role in the opening session. We joined forces with leaders from 56 Green Building Councils worldwide, all united under a common goal: Accelerating our transition towards sustainable building practices. 🎯 Key Highlights: From the WorldGBC leadership Cristina Gamboa, CEO - World Green Building Council 2030 Climate Change Targets: A roadmap to decarbonize the building sector, aiming for all new buildings to be zero emissions by 2040. 2000 Days of Action: An urgent call to harness our collective efforts to meet these ambitious goals. Global Commitment: 70 governments have pledged to enhance resilience in the built environment, setting the stage for transformative actions towards sustainability. 🔍 Insights from Experts: Akshat Rathi Bloomberg News emphasized the significant impact of the built environment, which accounts for 39% of global emissions. He highlighted the financial and environmental benefits of integrating solar panels and adopting green technologies, which are becoming more cost-effective over time. Catherine inspired us with a message of hope and collective action, reminding us that our efforts in energy efficiency and incorporating nature into urban spaces are crucial steps towards meeting the IEA’s net-zero goals. Panel Discussions: Rethinking Building Transitions: Leaders like Smith Mordak and Simon Sharpe discussed the importance of systems thinking and strong policies to guide significant industry changes. Policy as an Enabler: Discussions focused on how policy can remove market barriers and promote investments in green technologies, making sustainable choices not only possible but profitable. 💡 Moving Forward: As we continue to discuss, adapt, and innovate, the dialogue here at the Forum is just the beginning.

#HashiEnergy - a well-known #Kenyan oil marketer, is facing the looming threat of closure due to severe #financial difficulties. The company, burdened by a staggering Sh5 billion #debt owed to #Ecobank, is in the process of liquidation and is desperately selling off its assets in a last-ditch effort to stay afloat. Hashi Energy Ltd ’s story is one of remarkable rise and sudden fall. Founded by the enterprising billionaire #AhmedHashi, the company enjoyed a period of significant expansion, extending its reach across East and Central Africa. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania – these were just some of the markets where #HashiEnergy established a strong presence, solidifying its position as a major player in the #regional energy landscape. #Investments #Debt #RegionalNews #Liquidation #Projects #Oil #Energy #OMCs

Private firms like 12k Energy Business and 12k Energy Group - are driving a revolution in solar power in Africa. Unreliable grids and falling costs are persuading companies to go #offgrid. African #poverty is partly a consequence of #energypoverty. In every other continent the vast majority of people have access to electricity. In Africa 600m people, 43% of the total, cannot readily light their homes or charge their phones. And those who nominally have grid electricity find it as reliable as a Scottish summer. More than three-quarters of African firms experience outages; two-fifths say electricity is the main constraint on their business. If other sub-Saharan African countries had enjoyed power as reliable as South Africa’s from 1995 to 2007, then the continent’s rate of real #GDP growth per person would have been two percentage points higher, more than doubling the actual rate, according to one academic paper. Since then South Africa has also had erratic electricity. So-called “load-shedding” is probably the main reason why the economy has shrunk in four of the past eight quarters. #Solar power is increasingly seen as the solution. Last year #Africa installed a record amount of photovoltaic (pv) capacity (though this still made up just 1% of the total added worldwide), notes the African Solar Industry Association (afsia), a trade group. #Solar #Energy #PV #Renewables #Grid #Offgrid #EnergyBusiness 12k Direct Electric | Zuvar Solartech | 12k Energy Southern Africa | Woodpecker Solar | The Economist | AFSIA (Africa Solar Industry Association) https://lnkd.in/gtcuJByp
