Enhancing access to renewable energy: A dividend for a just transition to low-carbon economies
Progress in low-carbon development has been slow due to significant knowledge gaps.

West Africa, like most low- and middle-income countries, faces the triple burden of malnutrition.
This project is part of the Climate and Resilience (CLARE) partnership co-funded by IDRC and the UK’s Department for International Development.
Climate change represents a significant threat to human health, biodiversity, and the sustained eradication of poverty.
Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) were key to adopting the 2015 Paris Agreement, which outlines national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and identifies financial needs for mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes are the leading cause of death globally. In the last decade, Kenya has observed a significant rise in obesity, a major NCD risk factor.
South Africa has sub-Saharan Africa’s highest levels of obesity, with approximately 70% of women and 30% of men in South Africa either overweight or obese.
Low and middle-income countries are experiencing the burden of nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, largely driven by increasingly unhealthy food environments.
This project will support the Climate and Resilience partnership by covering the operational costs, including salaries and benefits, office costs, and travel of IDRC staff.
