Green Investment Opportunities for Malawi’s Agricultural Sector
The population and economy of Malawi rely heavily on agriculture, which makes up 28% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). The agri-culture sector is Malawi’s largest source of em-ployment (64%) and forms the basis of most Mala-wians’ livelihoods. Agricultural goods are over-whelmingly produced by Malawi’s smallholder farmers, with larger estates growing cash crops like […]
Green Investment Opportunities for Malawi’s Energy Sector
Globally, energy sector activities are the greatest source of the greenhouse gas emissions (49%) driving climate change. These emissions come from burning fuels to heat and light buildings, cook food, and power motor vehicles and air-planes. In Malawi, emissions from this sector are still comparatively low, contributing just 10% of to-tal national greenhouse gas emissions […]
Green Investment Opportunities for Malawi’s Livestock Sector
Livestock plays a major role in Malawi’s economy, with around two thirds of rural households keeping cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and chicken for food and income. The agriculture sector contributes 28% to Malawi’s total gross domestic product (GDP) of which 37.4% comes from livestock.
Green Investment Opportunities for Malawi’s Waste Sector
In Malawi, waste management systems have not kept up with the growing population. Waste piles up in waterways and streets or is haphazardly burned, sewage goes untreated, and toxic materials leach into soils and water tables. People and animals then suffer negative health effects from contaminated drinking water, increased vermin and disease vectors, and air […]
Green Investment Opportunities for Malawi’s Wood Fuels
In Malawi, over 96% of Malawi’s population depends on wood or charcoal as their primary cooking and heating fuel. Population growth and unmanaged wood fuel extraction has degraded forest resources, resulting in higher fuel prices for consumers, forest cover loss, and significant greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
National Greenhouse Inventory System
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap the sun’s heat, making life possible. Yet the world’s growing demand for energy, food, and materials has caused too many GHGs to be released into the atmosphere. As a result, we are experiencing dramatic changes in climatic patterns and an increase in global temperatures. This has major and wide-ranging impacts on […]
