3. The Global Heartache No community with a sense of justice, compassion or respect for basic human rights should accept the current pattern of adaptation. Leaving the world’s poor to sink or swim with their own meagre resources in the face of the threat posed by climate change is morally wrong. We are drifting into a world of ‘adaptation apartheid’.Desmond Tutu

4. World Bank 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity.

5. UNDP • A clear positive causative correlation between energy access and use and the resulting level of development • Rich nations the opposite • Las Vegas

6. Dean is Leaving This is the project I want to develop

7. IPCC • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group II, estimated that between 75 and 250 million people in Africa alone will be under food and water stress by 2020

8. Too Much H2O • Nathifa Janaa cradled her feverish son in the shade of an acacia tree, looking to the skies that for the last six weeks have brought driving rain and floods to the village of Kumahumato in remote northeastern Kenya. • "I have no food left in the house to feed my family. If my neighbours have nothing to offer then there is just water to drink," said Janaa, rubbing three-year-old Mohammed's malnourished stomach as she awaited the arrival of emergency food rations.

9. Not Enough H2O Somalia is one of the countries worst affected by a drought which has hit the Horn of Africa, leaving some 11.5 million people in need of food aid.

10. A Daily Issue: Drinking This family in western Somalia stand by the roadside, begging for water night and day. Their well has run dry and the nearest water is 12km away

11. Less resistant animals like donkeys are already dying, although some are still being used to transport scarce water

12. What is your Reality?

13. Our Kenya Case Study • 34 million souls • 144 kilowatt hours per year! • The best I have had is 270/month • Mostly in Nairobi & tourists • Less than 5% of rural residents

14. Kikuyu village just outside Nyeri • Roughly 150 homes • Subsistence agriculture and growing coffee and corn for export. • The traditional crops of millet, peas and sorghum are still grown.

15. 100 Kilowatt Wind Turbine Is Dropped Into Our Village • This turbine will be a highly advanced collection of technology with various co-generation aspects and co-consumption uses. • Punch line to come!

16. Home Electricity • Lights and Cooking • The World Health Organization has estimated that indoor air pollution is responsible for 1.6 million deaths a year as people use “dung, wood, crop waste and coal” for their essential energy source.

17. Home Electricity Increased health Improved productivity Improved education Improved culture

18. Refrigeration Nutrition Medicines Increased productivity

19. Storage Co-generation hydro Closed water pumping system Large scale experiments seem to work • Check with Tom Acker

20. Co-Consumption • Ground water pumping • Mechanical or electric • Village wells • Desalination as necessary • Varying technologies • Irrigation

21. Co-Consumption • Grinding grain • Compressed air Vehicles for hauling, local transport These products will generate revenue for them that will help maintain the mill and fund further community development projects. Niger, Special Self-Help Program, US Dept of State. Women peer inside structure containing grinding mill purchased with SSH funds. It will allow them to use their time for other important tasks, including child care and engaging in income-generating activities

23. Jacobs’ Conduit The Conduit Imports Raw Materials Use, reuse, recycle Stretching Tinkering Waste Outputs Inputs Exports Energy

24. Jacobs • Expansion • Growth • Quantitative • Development • Qualitative • Singing and dancing

25. Food • More • Nutrition • “Overall, about 19.1 percent of the children under age five are estimated to be under weight. About 30.6 percent and 4.8 percent are thought to be stunted and wasted respectively.” UNDP

26. More Productive • “It is estimated that only 53% of the households in Kenya walk for less than 15 minutes to fetch water.” • Less wasted labor • Clean water

27. Feedback Loops • Positive loops • Vicious circle • Polar Ice • Negative Loops • Shortages and surpluses • Increased storms

28. Properly Evaluating Data

29. Positive Feedback More and better food More and clean water More and better crops Loop it

30. Positive Feedback Better nutrition Better lighting Better water Better education

31. More stretching Building materials Baskets Brooms Woven items

32. New Exports Sorghum items Grain Tinkering

33. UNDP Action Plan • A program for using community based village banks to provide credit to over 1000 enterprises and training 2000 artisans on product design and development. • Local, sustainable inputs and labor

34. Other Issues Leapfrogging technologies Population growth??? HIV/AIDS Watching over the unloading, village elder Abdi Dubat, 57, reminisced about his lost wealth and pride. His once 500-strong herd of cattle, sheep and camels funded his 10 marriages, children's education, even a pilgrimage to Mecca, before consecutive droughts wiped out his herd. "The women would see my wealth and shout 'Come and marry me Abdi Dubat'. Now they just run away," he said laughing at himself.

37. Punch Line • Very few producers
