More than 13,331 companies across the world have signed to the United Nations @globalcompact, a voluntary initiative to implement sustainability principles. - @SafaricomNews
The principles put in print ambitions to make the world a better place by producing and growing wealth in a way that does less damage to the world.
One of these ways is through using cleaner, renewable energy instead of fossil fuels and to create a transformative shift in the way homes, businesses and infrastructure are powered.
According to a recent report titled Statistical Review of World Energy by @bp_plc, the share of renewable sources now stands at about 5% of primary energy. If all non-CO2-emitting sources – renewables, hydro and nuclear – were included, that figure would be at 16%.
The burning of fossil fuels accounts for about 80% of the emissions that cause global warming. And whilst the push for renewable energy certainly has its benefits, there remains a wide range of obstacles in the way of their large-scale development and implementation.
As the world celebrated World Environment Day, the @SafaricomNews sought out Michael Koech who is in charge of Environment and climate change at @SafaricomPLC and Dr. George Njenga the Executive dean of @SBSKenya to discuss the matter.
.@SafaricomPLC is one of the thousands of companies that have signed up to the @unglobalcompact, making it mandatory for it to report, annually, on the extent to which it has gone about fulfilling its promises on sustainability.
