People often fear failure and rejection, but the worst that can happen is a 'no.' Failure is acceptable as long as one learns from it and uses it to achieve their goals. #motivation #success

With #Africa providing global climate stabilization services estimsted at about $110billion, the continent's climate finance gap is rightfully an invoice, not charity. The time for #JustAdaptation overdue. Read this timeless piece by Dr. Richard Munang linkedin.com/pulse/africas-…

Africa is not poor; it is being priced poorly. Think about it. Today, that fire is Africa’s youth, brilliant, restless, unseen. Across the continent, our greatest minds are not on panels. They are not in boardrooms. They are in markets, learning business by survival. In

Indoor pollution from charcoal kills 700,000 Africans yearlyβ€”14,000-20,000 in Kenya alone. Briquettes made from waste offer a cheaper, cleaner alternative. This market is worth billions. #CleanEnergy #Africa

In Kenya, the informal sector drives 83% of employment. Small kiosks are where most get products. Find gaps, solve them. Markets ARE people. Close a gap and tap into that market. Don't complain; seize the opportunity! #Kenya #Opportunity

Timeless Dr Dr. Richard Munang. linkedin.com/posts/richardm…. Root problem= a failed value system, where minerals on the ground are treasured much more than human capital. With this, Africa receives the recompense of taking Godly values for granted #InnovativeVolunteerism

Timeless Dr. Richard Munang informal contributes 32% - 45% of GDP. Closing their productivity gaps e.g., through de-risked capital, value-addition infrastructure, efficient market/supply chains, skillsRetooling etc. = exponential, inclusive wealth created #InnovativeVolunteerism

Building a solution without a market means you skipped crucial homework. Understanding the market gap is essentialβ€”or your product risks getting lost without solving a real problem. #MarketResearch #ProductDev

Don't always start just because you have the tools. Experimentation and struggle often lead to the best innovations, attracting those ready to embrace them. Inspiration and online learning can be powerful. #Innovation #Inspiration

A life lost is one too many - indeed unacceptable Dr. Richard Munang. Universality of the need + flexibility of solution to start small and build gradually based on market response makes for a potentially "low risk high" reward climate enterprise #InnovativeVolunteerism

Africa is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, yet taking bold action. At #UNEA7, Dr. Richard Munang of UN Environment Programme highlighted the continent’s climate finance challenges and opportunities. soundcloud.com/unradio/un-cli…
