Our country is located in a region that is vulnerable to climate change, which is why we have made significant efforts in the area of climate action, in keeping with SDG 13 on action to combat climate change. Those efforts include renewable energy projects and adaptation measures. In addition to the large-scale geothermal projects currently under way. Djibouti is proud to inform the friendly countries present in this Hall that we have inaugurated the very first wind farm, which will provide 60 megawatts of clean energy. That project has been undertaken through a public private partnership and an additional capacity of 45 megawatts of renewable energy is expected through a consortium of investors and with the participation of the Port Authority and tax-free zones and the Djibouti Sovereign Fund. The project will be the first significant international investment in the energy sector in Djibouti, in the amount of $122 million, establishing the country’s first independent power producer and serving as a model for future private investment.
