الطاقة النظيفة تعزز القدرة على الصمود في المناطق الريفية في كوبا
تعاني المناطق الريفية في كوبا من انقطاعات كهربائية متكررة، لكن على طول الساحل الشرقي تتبلور ملامح تحوّلٍ جديدٍ في مجال الطاقة.
تواجه الدول الجزرية الصغيرة النامية تحديات لا يمكن تصورها، بما في ذلك تدهور الأمن الغذائي وتغير المناخ. انضموا إلينا وإلى Oliver Page، المتخصص في تغير المناخ والبيئة في الصندوق، لمعرفة المزيد عن كيفية مساعدة صغار المزارعين والصيادين في الجزر على تعزيز قدرتهم على الصمود في وجه المناخ. ونركز على مشروعات الصندوق في هايتي وتونغا وكذلك الفلبين - وهي دولة جزرية أكبر حجما تكافح قضايا مماثلة للدول الجزرية الصغيرة النامية - قبل الحصول على آخر المستجدات بشأن قمة الأمم المتحدة المقبلة للنظم الغذائية من Stefanos Fotiou، رئيس مركز تنسيق قمة النظم الغذائية. ويعلمنا Max Cotton في المملكة المتحدة كيف يُسعده أسلوب حياته المكتفي ذاتيا قبل أن ينتهي مع Nikita Eriksen-Hamel ومنصة المانحين العالمية للتنمية الريفية.
