Climate – proofing sustainable energy solutions

The Sustainable Energy Solutions Catalogue is designed for users both within and outside the scope of SESA. Inside SESA, it offers an introduction to solutions that can be utilized in collaboration with various stakeholders, including local governments and civil society. Additionally, the catalogue updates users within the project about activities at SESA validation and replication sites. Externally, it informs users about the various solutions tested during SESA project implementation and serves as a comprehensive source of introductory information on sustainable energy solutions for a diverse set of stakeholders.   

This factsheet introduces key facts regarding the climate proofing of sustainable energy solutions in the African context, focusing on the solutions that are deployed within the SESA project. The structure of the factsheet is as follows: first, it introduces the key impacts of climate change in Africa, followed by an analysis of the specific risks relevant to the sustainable energy solutions that are being tested within SESA. It then provides general guidelines for climate-proofing implementation, as well as examples of application in the African context. Lastly, the factsheet lists tools and capacity building materials on the topic.
