35 kg CO2 savings through small biogas plants in Kenya

A few days ago, the 19th International Climate Change Conference in Warsaw ended without any major results, although there were some small interim successes. Almost no one is arguing about whether climate change exists anymore. But which country has to save how much and which country has to pay how much to compensate other countries for the consequences of climate change remains a major issue. The aim of the negotiations is to adopt a global climate framework agreement at the conference in Paris in 2015. Far from the sleepless nights of the negotiators in Warsaw, climate change in Kenya has a very different and diverse face. The Maasai people traditionally live from cattle breeding. The Maasai are known as legendary warriors. As drought increases in their homeland, they face existential hardship. They have little chance in the fight against climate change. The glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa in Kenya, which has existed for around 12,000 years, has also shrunk considerably in recent years. The glacier plays an important role in the local ecological balance and, not least, in the supply of drinking water. Like many developing countries, Kenya is particularly affected by the consequences of climate change. At the same time, it is the home country of Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai. She has worked fearlessly and tirelessly to protect the environment throughout her life and has gone down in history. Today's donation will make a small contribution to climate protection in her home country.
