The well project in Malawi focuses on the installation and maintenance of wells to provide clean, safe drinking water to rural communities. Access to clean water reduces the need to boil water, which in turn reduces the use of firewood and associated CO2 emissions.
The main objective of the project is to improve the quality of life of people in Malawi by providing access to clean drinking water. In addition, the project contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions by reducing the dependence on firewood.
The fullfiled Sustainable Development Goals
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions, the climate protection projects generate a variety of additional benefits for people and the environment. This enables and strengthens our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The aim is to ensure a healthy life for all people of all ages and to promote general well-being. It includes measures to reduce health risks from environmental pollution such as hazardous chemicals, air and water pollution. Environmental policy initiatives, such as the protection of air and soil and the reduction of noise pollution, make a significant contribution to achieving this goal.
It promotes gender equality and aims to end all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls. It calls for equal access to resources and equal opportunities in leadership positions and decision-making processes. The connection between gender equality and environmental policy is particularly important, especially with regard to the negative impact of environmental changes on women.
It ensures access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities for all people. It includes the sustainable use of water resources, protection against pollution and the efficient management of water. The connection between water scarcity and the effects of climate change also plays a central role.
The aim is to take immediate action against climate change and its effects. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote climate adaptation measures and raise awareness of climate impacts. Particular emphasis is placed on international cooperation to support poorer countries in combating climate change and strengthening climate resilience.
