3. Renewable energy

Global demand for energy has risen inexorably in the last 150 years in step with industrial development and population growth. The lion’s share of global energy (about 80% at present) is supplied by coal, oil, and gas the ‘fossil fuels’ that formed long ago from the carbon-rich remains of dead plants and animals. However, these are non-renewable sources that will one day be exhausted. The world needs energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their need

4. Water sanitation & hygiene

Prime Initiative for Green Development (PIGD) responds to Water because is a basic necessity, and an important resource for sustaining life. The decline in water quality endangers the health of humans as well as the ecosystem. Clean drinking water, hygiene, and sanitation play an important part in maintaining health.

The benefits of having access to an improved drinking water source can only be fully realized when there is also access to improved sanitation and adherence to good hygiene practices. Beyond the immediate, obvious advantages of people being hydrated and healthier, access to water, sanitation and hygiene known collectively as WASH has profound wider socio-economic impacts, particularly for women and girls.
