The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Reduce illness and early deaths due to air pollution in the home and environment.
Good health is essential to sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda reflects the complexity and interconnectedness of the two.
Increased access to enabling technologies.
Ending all discrimination against women and girls is not only a basic human right, it’s crucial for sustainable future; it’s proven that empowering women and girls helps economic growth and development.
Affordable, reliable, and clean modern energy.
Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean and more efficient energy in all countries will encourage growth and help the environment.
Implement climate measures to national policies.
There is no country that is not experiencing the drastic effects of climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are more than 50 percent higher than in 1990. Global warming is causing long-lasting changes to our climate system, which threatens irreversible consequences if we do not act.
These actions must also go hand in hand with efforts to integrate disaster risk measures, sustainable natural resource management, and human security into national development strategies.
Reduce deforestation, land degradation and desertification.
Human life depends on the earth as much as the ocean for our sustenance and livelihoods. Plant life provides 80 percent of the human diet, and we rely on agriculture as an important economic resources.
Urgent action must be taken to reduce the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity which are part of our common heritage and support global food and water security, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and peace and security.
The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation.
The world is more interconnected than ever. Improving access to technology and knowledge is an important way to share ideas and foster innovation.
The Solution
- Enhance LPG penetration
- Reduce respiratory diseases and mortality rates associated with household air pollution as a result of sustained use of firewood and charcoal.
- Uplift the quality of life for majority of Zambian citizens by making clean cooking fuel (LPG) readily available & affordable.
- Reduce deforestation as beneficiaries move away from the use of biomass (charcoal & firewood).
- Promote entrepreneurship in the country by giving priority to women, youth and people living with disability to be a major part of the supply chain as distributors, retailers and brand ambassadors.
- Promote the use of green-tech innovation in providing sustainable energy solutions
