SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL PRESIDENT OF COP21 REPORT THE AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE LAUNCHED AT COP21 Signature of the Paris Agreement - April 22nd 2016. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, François Hollande, President of the French Republic, Ségolène Royal, President of COP21, and Princess Lalla Hasnaa of Morocco I am very happy to talk to you as President of COP21 in order to set out this contribution to the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative, and I would like to take this opportunity to salute the extraordinary potential of this initiative. Thanks to the adoption of the Paris Agreement to which Africa made a significant contribution, the action for the climate has made considerable progress that we must now turn into concrete achievements. To do so, we need the African continent. We need its creativity, we need its optimism, we need its young people, we need its energy, we need its commitment and we need its imagination. We also need Africa to be able to make a real difference with its own solutions. I have already said that I am convinced that this alliance to be formed with the African continent is an opportunity that must be seized so as to balance a multipolar world that must build peace and prosperity. We have a great responsibility and our common capacity to have the courage to adopt visionary strategies will give us the keys to a future world. 2 The damages caused by climatic disturbances are already there, in Africa more than everywhere else, although Africa has nothing to do with them. This problem of climate justice is therefore of the utmost urgency and it is therefore also clear that we need the optimism and the conviction that solutions do actually exist. This challenge that we must take up is in fact a new opportunity. Another chance to invest. Another chance to give the companies that believe in renewable energies the opportunity to create businesses and jobs. A chance as well to reduce climatic migration, the migration of poverty and misery. It is for this reason than I would like to salute Africa’s commitment. To salute it even more so because I have a special allegiance to this continent, where I was born. Also because 24 years ago I was at the Rio Conference: I am aware both of the slow progress of the negotiations and of the exceptional increase in awareness that is now gathering pace, that no one is immune from climatic disturbances and that the cost of inaction is much greater than the cost of action. It is this increased awareness that can give us hope in the face of alarmist observations. Hope above all because Africa has a renewable energies tremendous potential that is just waiting to be exploited, in the solar, wind and hydropower fields. Thanks to the mobilisation of all the participants to this report, whom I thank, 240 projects have been recorded. It is now time to transform these projects into reality and to finance them. I hope that this report will contribute to the realisation of the renewable energy projects put forward by African continent quickly and that we will be able to celebrate these projects at the COP22 in Marrakech. President of COP21 Minister of the Environment, Energy and the Sea Responsible for International relations on the Climate 3 4 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE Africa is a continent rich in energy resources and potential, but their supply remains limited. The continent makes up 13% of the world’s population, and this population is increasing rapidly, but the continent represents only 4% of global energy demand. This situation is however changing fast: since 2000, Sub-Saharan Africa has undergone rapid economic growth, together with high population growth; as a result, energy demand has increased by 45%. Although the situation varies from one country to another, the region’s overall shared view is that there is a serious lack of modern energy supply services – even more so than a production shortage. Africa had approximately 915 million inhabitants in 2013 and only 290 million had access to electricity: with a growing population, the number of people that do not have access to electricity is increasing more quickly than the number of people being connected to the electricity grid. The lack of access to energy acts as a multiplier of inequalities: those linked to gender, but also between urban and rural areas and between the richest and poorest social categories (the poorest are not connected to the electricity grid and must rely - when they can - on far more expensive diesel generators or on the use of wood for cooking and lighting). This also poses serious problems in a number of public sector fields, in particular health (e.g. supply to hospitals). Creating an attractive environment to increase private investment in the energy sector is one of the key challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 300 billion Euros of private investment will be required between now and 2030 in order to make universal access to energy possible. A greater participation by the private sector would make it possible to develop the technical and managerial expertise of the key public institutions in the energy sector. The use of fire-wood remains significant on the continent, and this practice is changing only slowly - even when income levels increase. Today, 80% of Africans rely on these fuels, which has significant implications in terms of pollution and deforestation. Nonetheless, awareness of local environmental problems and the direct impacts of global warming are altering choices regarding energy mixes, with a downward trend for 5 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE coal and an increase in oil and renewable energy sources. Today, hydropower accounts for one-fifth of the current capacity, even though less than 10% of estimated technical potential is utilised. Geothermal energy is also experiencing significant growth and, as a result, it has become the second energy source in East Africa. Other renewable energy sources such as solar power - are also beginning to develop on the continent, insofar as their economic interest is becoming increasingly apparent. Thus, regarding solar power, programmes carried out in South Africa have shown that this type of investment could be profitable and have encourage other companies - both public and private - to overcome the barrier that the important initial price tag represents. These continuing changes provide an opportunity to rethink traditional approaches to the energy sector. Enormous renewable energy potential in Africa, estimated by the IEA and IRENA According to the IEA, half the growth in electricity production on the continent between now and 2040 could come from renewable energy sources. For its part, IRENA, in its latest report in 2015 (Africa 2030: Roadmap for a Renewable Energy Future), estimates that more than 300 GW could come from renewable energy between now and 2030: 100 GW from hydropower, 100 GW from wind, 93 GW from solar PV and CSP, 32 GW from biomass and 4 GW from geothermal energy. 6 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE Further to the "Climate challenge and African solutions" summit, on 1 December 2015, Energy Day on 7 December 2015 saw 10 donors (Germany, Canada, The United States, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Sweden and The European Commission) commit to mobilising 10 billion dollars between 2016 and 2020 to support the objectives of the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative (AREI), through a joint declaration. ing the share of renewable energy in the region from its current level of 28% to 48% in 2030. In addition, IRENA and its partners have launched the African component of the Sustainable Energy Marketplace initiative, in order to respond to the growth potential of renewable energy by facilitating contacts between project leaders and investors. A partnership has been formally signed with Power Africa. Following on from this summit, the World Bank launched its Business plan for the climate in Africa, which aims to improve Africa’s resilience, develop sustainable energy and improve climate data. Several funding mechanisms have been put in place at state level (signing of memorandums between governments and donors), or at public-private sector level, for example with the launch by the European Union of the Electrification Financing (ElectriFI) tool, designed to support market development and private sector initiatives for the production of affordable, sustainable and reliable energy, thanks to a platform aimed at sharing and multiplying global efforts and funding by partners. Moreover, 19 countries from Eastern and Southern Africa endorsed an action agenda for developing an Africa Clean Energy Corridor (ACEC) in order to accelerate the regional development of renewable energy. These countries, if they increase the deployment of renewable sources on their territories, would be capable of saving 2,500 MtCO2 Eq in cumulative emissions between now and 2030, whilst multiplying annual electricity production by 2.5. During COP21, a corridor for Western Africa was also launched by the ECOWAS in partnership with IRENA, with the aim of increas- These efforts are in addition to various existing initiatives that focus in part on mobilising the continent’s renewable energy potential, such as the joint AU-NEPAD-AfDB Programme on Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), the joint EU/AU Africa-EU Energy Partnership, the UN SG’s Sustainable Energy for All initiative (SE4ALL), the United 7 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE States’ Power Africa partnership, and the AFDB’S NEW DEAL ON ENERGY FOR AFRICA’s initiative, to name but a few. Jean-Louis Borloo, with his Foundation Energies for Africa, has also contributed to build momentum in the major challenge of electrifying the continent. Lastly, improving access to energy and developing renewable energy are core mitigation and adaptation commitments of all 53 African intended Nationally-Determined Contributions (iNDCs) submitted before and during COP21. SE4ALL aims to guarantee universal access to sustainable energy between now and 2030, to double the rate of global energy efficiency, and to double to share of renewable energies in the world’s energy mix. AFDB’S NEW DEAL ON ENERGY FOR AFRICA’s aims to achieve universal access to energy in Africa between now and 2025 –100% rate of energy access in urban areas and 95% in rural areas. It is focusing on off-grid energy access solutions and related technology advances. On the way to COP22: working session at Elysée with President François Hollande, Ségolène Royal, President of COP21, Salaheddine Mezouar, upcoming President of COP22, Jean-Marc Ayrault, French Minister of Foreign Affairs and Hakima El Haite, Moroccan Minister delegate for the Environment 8 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative (AREI), officially launched on 1 December 2015 at Le Bourget, was approved by the Assembly of the African Union 1. This initiative is supported by the G7 2 and the G20 3. Its objective is to stimulate a high-level momentum and to ensure coordination and synergy between the different actors in renewable energy and the initiatives in order to increase the continent’s renewable energy capacity on the continent by at least 10 GW by 2020 and mobilise the continent’s potential in renewable energy, something IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) estimates to be in excess of 300 GW between now and 2030. This Initiative is not restricted to the installation of new capacity. It targets the overall acceleration of access to energy, and of the deployment of renewable energy on the continent. Its launch took place in the context of a rapid fall in renewable energy prices (solar and wind in particular), and recognises the opportunity of energy transitions in terms of job creation, productive sector development, technology transfer, mitigating the impact of fluctuating fossil fuel prices, ensuring energy security, and reducing fossil fuel subsidies currently weighing on African government budgets. The latest Africa Renewable Energy Initiative meeting took place at the AfDB in Abidjan, from 30 March to 1 April, then in Cairo on 11 and 12 July 2016. An independent delivery unit was created and its head appointed (Prof. Youba Sokona). It began its work based on a framework document, which restates the principles of the initiative, and an action plan that comprises three phases: nn nn t he first (2016) aims to identify priority projects and programmes so as to allow an initial selection to be carried out between now and COP22; t he second (2016-2020) will begin work on all of the lines of the action plan (mapping, capacity reinforcement, project development support, etc.) with a view to achieving the objective of increasing the continent’s installed renewable energy capacity by 10 GW between now and 2020; 1 Décisions of the African Union at the Addis-Abeba (January 2016) and Kigali (July 2016) summits 2 Elmau Communiqué, 8 June 2015 3 Istanbul Communiqué, 2 October 2015 9 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE nn nn nn ecessary, in view of the African contin nents’ energy requirements and Africa’s potential in renewable energy; mbitious, with regard to the targeted a increase in installed capacity in Africa and the coordination of all of the measures for the development of renewable energy on the continent, but achievable; innovative, insofar as it brings together African states, regional institutions and international partners on an operational level, around a tangible action plan and a shared vision. Meeting with Akinwumi Adenisa, President of the African Development Bank, 51st Annual Meeting of the AfDB, Lusaka, Zambia nn the third (2020-2030) will be based on the conclusions of the previous phases, in order to mobilise Africa’s considerable potential in renewable energy, with a view to achieving the objective of increasing the continent’s installed renewable energy capacity by 300 GW between now and 2030. Under African leadership, led by Egypt, France and their partner signatories of the declaration of 7 December will remain fully involved in the development of this initiative, which is: 10 Inauguration of the COP21 African Pavillon, on December 1st 2015, by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, President of the African Union Commission, Akinwumi Adenisa, President of the African Development Bank, Carlos Lopes, UN Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE The following proposals follow the visits by the President of COP21 to 17 African countries since summer 2015 (Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Ghana, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania), her meetings with African leaders in Paris, and the meetings of experts that she has organised, where she assessed the opportunities of this Initiative. Her meetings with the authorities shed light on three main concerns: nn the need to simplify finance procedures; nn the difficulty of dealing with many funding windows; nn the competition this leads to between countries. On the basis of this observation, the President of COP21 has been working with the European Commission and other international donors to improve the coherence, efficiency, sustainability and visibility of international action, and to progressively mobilise more resources. This work is being carried out in close cooperation with Morocco, who are hosting the COP22. A model in terms of development of renewable energy solutions, with the commissioning of the Noor solar power station in February 2016 (160 MW), Morocco would like the COP22 to be a conference of action and an African COP: the progress made on the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative will contribute to these objectives. To reach the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative’s objectives by COP22, here are 10 proposals the President of COP21 makes to its African and international partners: 1 IDENTIFY A LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BETWEEN NOW AND 2020 AND PROJECTS THAT CAN BE STARTED BEFORE AND DURING THE COP22. The choice of projects presented will, of course, be made by Africa Renewable Energy Initiative’s governance, based on its guiding principles 4, and by African countries. An initial list of identified projects which could be implemented as part of the Initiative can be found at the beginning of the report; 2 BRING TOGETHER THE PARTNERS OF THE INITIATIVE AROUND EACH PROJECT TO SHARE OUT TASKS. A leading donor could be designated for each of the priority projects. The Initiative would thereby make it possible to achieve greater coordination and complementarity between the various donors. Greater mutual recognition of procedures (both multilateral and bilateral) between backers should also be put in place via this Initiative. The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative serving as a coordination platform between the different initiatives launched (SE4ALL, Power Africa, etc.) on renewable energy in Africa would help to strengthen synergies, on Africa’s own initiative; 4 These principles provide, especially for cross-border projects, the prior agreement of all the countries concerned. 11 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE INITIATE A SIMILAR DIALOGUE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR. Private investment in renewable energy in Africa far exceeds public investment. Joint public/private actions could have a considerable accelerating effect on the deployment of renewable energy in Africa. Companies see the momentum of COP21 - and which will be brought further during COP22 - as an opportunity. The AREI could contribute to fostering public/private partnerships, identify investment opportunities for public/private cooperation, and identify bottlenecks that need to be addressed to mobilise private investors; 3 STRENGTHEN PARTICIPATORY CITIZENSHIP ON ENERGY by submitting hydroelectricity projects to expert groups responsible for ensuring environmental continuity of rivers; and by adding local electrification circuits to heavy equipment and supporting small auto-consumption community projects, with positive energy projects for territories; 5 INVOLVE AFRICAN WOMEN IN RENEWABLE ENERGY as they are the main victims of climate disasters and they are also the main solution. To this end, ensure that half the resources allocated to decentralised minigrid energy production projects are developed by women’s groups; create agricultural schools for women with programmes that include renewable energy; support a wide-scale programme to produce biogas cooking material, solar cook-stoves, slow combustion cook-stoves, as does the New Deal on Energy for Africa adopted by the African Development Bank, and a solar lamp deployment programme; 4 6 DRAW FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SOLAR ALLIANCE a coop- eration platform for countries located between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn to develop solar energy, to help harmonise solar energy demand (investment, technologies, research and development) and to facilitate funding thanks to lower prices that will result from Meeting with women about solar light, Tanzanian village, August 2016 12 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE massification of demand and convergence of calls for tender. Also rely on the Global Geothermal Alliance; PUT IN PLACE INNOVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. In particular, the creation of a grant/loan blending facility on renewable energy projects in Africa should be considered, in the manner of - and in addition to - European blending facilities that have succeeded in uniting funding from EU donors (e.g. African Investment Facility – AFIF). Other tools such as private investment security instruments via guarantee instruments in particular could also be necessary (off-take agreements or exchange risk guarantees especially). The partners of the Initiative and international financial institutions could implement such tools; 7 8 TAKE CLIMATE CHANGE INTO ACCOUNT IN PROJECT PREPARATION, AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR which must be included in the specifications and develop training programmes on renewable energy jobs to make technical skills available locally; France has already welcomed the Director of the independent delivery unit Professor Youba Sokona to set out France’s action in the development of renewable energy in Africa. The COP21 Presidency encourages Africa’s other development partners to do likewise to identify the initiatives to be put in place to support the continents energy transition. On a bilateral level, France commits to implementing these proposals. It has already pledged to give 2 billion Euros between now and 2020 for the accelerated deployment of renewable energy in Africa, and will give priority treatment to the projects identified by the Initiative. France, in cooperation with Germany, has also committed to help finance the Initiative’s independent delivery unit. In addition, it will endeavour to direct the private supply from French companies towards this priority. 9 GRADUALLY, THE INDEPENDENT DELIVERY UNIT HOSTED AND SUPPORTED BY THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK COULD BE CONSOLIDATED. It is essential that the partners in the Initiative give their full support to this unit; 10 AFRICA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL, building on the Africa-EU Energy Partnership’s Mapping of Energy Initiatives and Programs in Africa.

They represent a total installed capacity of 44.6 GW. This is not a comprehensive list but it makes it possible to fuel a clear acceleration in the development of renewable energy in Africa. 14 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE Wind power

This is a hugely important event, because it shows that the spirit of Paris is still with us. And I am doubly happy to be here, Mr President, here in Africa, a continent that is both so dear to me, and also central to the fight against climate change, but I am even happier to be here in Kenya itself, remembering that we were here together on April 30th to witness the extremely courageous act that you accomplished, when you destroyed more than 100 tonnes of elephant tusks and rhinoceros horns. I believe that this extremely strong action, contributing to the protection of elephants has been observed by the whole world. I congratulate you again for this very welcome action. I believe that this sent out an extremely powerful signal. On April 30th, after having banned ivory exports in France, I made a commitment to ban the ivory trade in France. That is now done. I have signed the Ministerial Order banning ivory trading and I have asked for the same action to be taken by all European countries. The Paris climate conference marks an important turning point. You now have the responsibility to contribute to implementing the Paris agreement. This is your mandate. From the outset you have been part of a cycle of extremely important events, since 2015, a critical year for climate. We had the disaster risk reduction conference at Sendai. Then the Addis Ababa conference on financing for development. We also had the New York conference on sustainable development goals and we had the Paris conference. A few days ago, we had the first global conference on humanitarian problems, again organized by the United Nations and we were able to make the link between climate change and humanitarian crises. I also had the opportunity to speak at a session 32 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE bringing leaders together to discuss means of preventing such climate-induced crises. This session was chaired by the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, who is with us today. To take action for our climate is truly to go to the very root of such things, because climate change brings with it severe humanitarian crises. Climate change is a trigger for conflict. Climate change is a trigger for wars. When we analyse the conflicts and wars of the last 50 years, it is clear that for all of them - every conflict, every war - there is a direct or indirect climate-related cause. It is, first and foremost, droughts that trigger food crises. Crises involving lack of food and lack of access to safe water in their turn trigger food riots. Food riots destabilize countries, resulting in desertification and deforestation on a massive scale, along with problems accessing food resources, which lead to massive migrations of people, in particular South-South migrations. The African continent is particularly affected by these SouthSouth migrations, which can destabilize African countries. If no action is taken to fight climate change, it is estimated that 200 million people will be displaced by climate change by the end of this century. This tells us how urgently this work needs to be done and it tells us that the work that you do here is critical. There are three messages that I want to give to you. The first message: we need to speed up implementation of the Paris agreement. Just as we mobilized to obtain signatures since we got, with the United Nations and Presidency of the COP, a record number of signatures. 177 countries - this has never happened before - came to New York on 22nd April to sign the Paris agreement. And this dynamic is something that we now have to continue. Now we must speed up ratifications. I call on all members of governments, who are present in this room, to make sure that ratification of the Paris agreement is on the agenda at your next ministerial meeting, to make sure that ratification of the Paris agreement is included in the parliamentary or regulatory procedures of each of the member nations, because we have to have, for Marrakech, for COP22, we have to have a heartfelt obligation to turn up with a Paris agreement that is actively being applied. What does that mean? When we say a Paris agreement that is applied? It means that 55 member nations must have ratified it. 55 parties must have ratified it, representing 55% of greenhouse gas emissions. But the ideal outcome is, of course, even more, that this agreement comes into application from this year onwards, and that a very large proportion of the countries who are part of the Paris agreement, who have just signed with many heads of state and government are able to ratify the Paris agreement during the year. 33 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE You have this duty. It’s a duty to countries that are suffering. It’s a duty to people that are suffering. It’s a duty to vulnerable countries. And I also observe that, as usual, as usual, it is the most vulnerable of countries, the most fragile of countries, who have already ratified the Paris agreement, as14 of them have already submitted their ratification measures. And these 14 countries include small island states, whose very survival is threatened by climate change. So all the countries need to make this same effort and you, as ministers for the environment, here in this room, or as advisers to various governments, you have this responsibility, when you return to Nairobi, to tell your governments that the COP President has asked for ratification. We have this duty to countries that are suffering under climate change. We have this duty to the commitments made in Paris. We have this duty to those who are desperate and who need to know whether we here will have the courage to act, yes or no, to keep global warming lower than a rise of 2 degrees by the end of this century. It’s a daunting task. It’s a unique mission. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime responsibility. And we must be aware of this responsibility, this enormous political endeavour. And moreover, something that is also unique in the Paris agreement and in the effort that has been made by all the countries of the world, because it is a collective achievement that allowed this agreement to take place, is the fact that this has brought together a large number of very different nations. Small, large, rich, poor, northern, southern, countries that had already acted, countries that had only just found out about the issues, etc. In other words, within the multiculturalism of this group, there is a community of thought, of ideas. There is a sharing of scientific knowledge, and we can never give enough praise to the scientists worldwide who have worked to establish the links between human activities and use of fossil fuels and climate-related disasters. For all the work that has been going on since Rio, which has gone on for 25 years, today we have a duty to speed up the action and I know that you are aware of this and I know that this meeting in Nairobi will be a success. The second message, of course, is absolutely simple, but it is crucial. It is simply a call to action. The call to action represents two things. First and foremost, that each country is taking action on its own territory to apply what are now called the NDCs. These contributions change the situation as much as the agreement. And it is already visible, many countries are in transition. For example, here in Kenya there are very important commitments to energy transition and renewable energies. 34 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE And then there are all the coalitions. We see that all these coalitions are structured here. All the coalitions that have taken place during the Paris agreement. 70 coalitions focusing on the oceans, forests, agriculture, water, renewable energies of course, but also focusing on regional communities who are involved. Women too - we organized a major event concerning the issue of women, as a group who are the most vulnerable to climate change and yet who often have the solutions in their hands. And if these women are given the power to act then they can do so much, particularly in the fields of agriculture and of access to safe water. I would also like to recognize the involvement of UNEP in the Lima-Paris action plans, in this ability to find solutions. UNEP’s support for several major initiatives, such as the coalition for climate and clean air, a platform for dealing with climate pollutants. UNEP is directly involved with this issue in its role as the secretariat for the Montreal Protocol. I also recognize the role of the United Nations programme for the environment in the sustainable energy initiative for all United Nations with several initiatives for energy efficiency and there are several meetings taking place in the next few days here. And of course there is also this major UNEP initiative for formation of an “Urban Hub” with more than 7,000 towns and regions around the world that have made climate commitments, the mobilization of regional communities and the buildings coalition, which I will be taking part in a bit later. Finally, I’d like to give you some news on the Bonn negotiations, since you know that the representatives of the parties were at Bonn for 10 days for the first formal session of negotiations after Paris. With Monsieur Salaheddine Mezouar, we have opened these negotiations and later together we will be sending a message to the Bonn negotiators. They have worked hard. Beyond the preparation for application of the Paris agreement, COP22 at Marrakech is now on track. I have also taken time to consult the NGOs and civil society observers, who have significant input and have done a great deal of work. Also, of course, we need to increase our efforts on the issue of carbon pricing and I call on all representatives of governments present here to join the carbon pricing coalition, because that is the crucial lever that will allow us, by incorporating the carbon pricing element in investments, to ramp up our efforts and to achieve what those around the world are now waiting for, the setting up of the planned 100 billion 35 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE dollars by 2020, then every year from 2020. There is some progress, we have reached 60 billion. We will reach the 100 billion dollars, i.e. with coordination between public and private funding, because it is clear that in this coalition of investment funds and companies, which is very new within climate conferences, where they are coming together, are structured in relation to the climate issue, investment in green growth now clearly represents an opportunity. That’s the positive aspect. Of course, we face catastrophe, as I said earlier, and we must not lose sight of that. But there is also a significant opportunity here, because the lever for development that lies behind green growth, behind renewable energies, behind new transportation methods, behind new ways to build, to live, to consume natural resources - here there are dramatic opportunities for creating new jobs that cannot be relocated, creating new companies, start-ups, investments. And this also means preparing for the future for our young people, all around the world, in every country, who are sometimes so badly affected by unemployment. This allows us to provide a helping hand for future generations. And, as a well-known Kenyan proverb says “Treat the earth well, because you don’t inherit it from your parents, you borrow it from your children”. And what we are preparing for is the rise of the future generation so that they can live on this planet in better conditions and so that we can pass on to them a planet that is repaired, a planet that is in good condition, a planet on which harmony can be restored between human beings and the nature around them. Allow me also to note the courage of the action, on the African continent, in the fight against all forms of lobbies, the fight against all forms of financial greed or greed for excessive exploitation of natural resources or for destruction of protected animals, as I mentioned earlier. Yes, it takes courage, obviously, to be part of this movement. Yes, it takes courage to resist a number of lobbies and heavyweight opposition and incentives. Yes, it takes courage to make progress. Yes, it requires thinking of others and putting them before ourselves. Thinking of others means building a world that we ourselves may not even see. This is political courage. And that is why our task requires a noble spirit. As Nelson Mandela said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. This is what people are waiting for, all over the world. I thank you for the commitment you give, with so much energy, good will, courage and self-sacrifice, because you are thinking of others before you think of yourselves. Thank you very much. 36 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE THE CHAIR OF THE COP21 HAS MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO AFRICA since the summer of 2015, in preparation for the Paris conference and then subsequent to it. These trips were an opportunity for her to gauge Africa’s renewable energies potential and the desire of African countries to take advantage of them. These trips provided her with valuable information on how to help promote the African Renewable Energy initiative. IN AUGUST 2015, SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL VISITED NAMIBIA, BOTSWANA, ZAMBIA AND GHANA. IN NAMIBIA, where she met President Hage Geingob, she noted this country’s considerable wind and solar power potential and applauded the success of the first solar power plant in Namibia (in Omburu) which is the result of a Franco-Namibian partnership (4.5 MW). In Zambia, she met President Edgar Chagwa Lungu and signed a declaration of intent with her counterparts in charge of the Environment and Ecology, to develop a partnership on climate change and energy issues. Zambia has built its energy policy around hydroelectricity, which represents 95% of its electricity production, and hopes to develop other renewable energy sources. In Botswana, on the occasion of her interview with President Seretse Khama Ian Khama, Ségolène Royal noted the country’s desire to develop renewable energies and stated that France is willing to contribute its know-how; the country had recently authorised connection of several solar power plants to the electricity grid. In Ghana, Ségolène Royal met President John Dramani Mahama, who detailed the steps taken by his country to reduce emissions: promotion of renewable energies; planting of trees and protection of the forests; improved domestic cooking stoves; new collective transport technologies. IN OCTOBER 2015, SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL WENT TO ALGERIA where she had talks with President Bouteflika. She observed that although a producer of fossil fuels, Algeria was nonetheless investing heavily in the energy transition, renewable energies in particular, and noted the existence of several construction sites in Algeria related to this energy transition process. IN FEBRUARY 2016, AT THE INVITATION OF THE KING OF MOROCCO, SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL WENT TO OUARZAZATE, where she inaugurated the “Noor” solar complex, which plans to develop solar power plants with a total capacity of 2000 MW by the year 2020 and should lead to annual greenhouse gas emissions savings of 3.7 million tonnes of CO2 by this same time-frame. The complex, which covers 3000 hectares and has a capacity of 580 MW, is the world’s largest. it will comprise four multi-technology solar power plants, combined with an R&D platform covering more than 150 hectares. IN FEBRUARY 2016, THE CHAIR OF THE COP21 WENT TO EGYPT, ETHIOPIA, IVORY COAST, GUINEA AND SENEGAL, where she met the highest authorities and visited renewable energy development sites. In Egypt, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi, current President of the Committee of African Heads of 37 AFRICA RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE State and Government on climate change, informed her of his commitment to the climate in Africa and his project for a large photovoltaic plant in Egypt. In Ethiopia, a country severely affected by drought, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn presented the important energy strategy (wind, solar, geothermal, hydro). She visited the Ashegoda wind farm (120 MW) in Mekele. Her stopover in Addis Ababa gave her an opportunity to meet the heads of the African Union and discuss the governance of the Initiative. In Côte d’Ivoire, she held talks with President Alassane Ouattara and had a meeting with Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, to discuss the implementation of the initiative and the involvement of the AfDB. In Guinea, she held talks with President Alpha Condé who reminded her of the country’s extraordinary potential, more particularly in terms of hydroelectric power. In Senegal, she met President Macky Sall and took part in the foundation stone laying ceremony for a local energy production project using photovoltaic panels. SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL CONTINUED HER AFRICAN TOUR IN MARCH 2016. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, she had talks with President Joseph Kabila and made a trip to Inga where she was able to see for herself the potential of the Congo river. In Gabon, President Ali Bongo informed her of 38 his intention to develop renewable energies as part of the Green Gabon plan. In Nigeria, she was welcomed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo who stated his country’s desire to diversify its energy mix through the development of renewable energies. IN BONN, IN MAY 2016, THE CHAIR OF THE COP21 met Seyni Nafo, President of the African Group of negotiators, who indicated the importance of the Initiative for the African Group. IN MAY 2016, SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL ALSO WENT TO KENYA, on the occasion of the 2nd Meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly, in the presence of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, as well as to Zambia for the annual meetings of the African Development Bank, where she met numerous African partners. IN AUGUST 2016, SÉGOLÈNE ROYAL ALSO WENT TO MOZAMBIQUE AND TANZANIA. In Mozambique, where she met President Filipe Nyusi, she observed with great interest the Metoro solar power plant project, which is an illustration of the country’s desire to diversify its energy mix. In Tanzania, the COP 21 Chair held a series of interviews connected to the African Renewable Energy Initiative, visited a Tanzanian NGO which promotes innovative and ecological energy solutions (slow cookers) and donated solar lamps to the women of Tarangire village.
