LifiLED, an Ivorian technology company specialising in the provision of connectivity services based on the integration of LiFi solutions with intelligent lighting and green energy, and the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (COP15 UNCCD) signed a memorandum of understanding in Paris on Tuesday, during the Change Now global summit being held from 25 to 27 March.
The memorandum was signed by Ange Frédérick Balma, founder and CEO of LifiLED, and Alain Richard Donwahi, President of COP15, as a sign of their shared commitment to innovation and action to protect the environment.
LifiLED is renowned for its expertise in developing eco-responsible solutions combining renewable energies and cutting-edge technologies such as LiFi technology. As part of this agreement, it is committed to deploying a series of actions designed to effectively combat land degradation, desertification and drought. The partnership also aims to mobilise resources and innovations for sustainable land management. The aim is to finance initiatives to combat land degradation, promote drought resilience policies, and encourage training and capacity-building for young people.
In addition, this agreement aims to offer new opportunities for economic development and the protection of ecosystems, which will benefit thousands of people in Côte d'Ivoire and elsewhere.

The Ivorian company LifiLED is committed to offering its institutional support, sharing its research and innovations, and helping to raise awareness of desertification issues. At the same time, COP15 will use its network and expertise to integrate LifiLED into global initiatives, such as Africa's Great Green Wall.
Ange Frédérick Balma said: "LifiLED's partnership with COP15 is a fantastic opportunity to put our expertise at the service of a crucial cause. Together, we can make a real and tangible difference.”
For the President of COP15, Alain Richard Donwahi, this agreement is a significant step towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and reaffirms Côte d'Ivoire's commitment to a greener future.
Sustainable solutions that will benefit not only the environment, but also communities vulnerable to climate change, are expected as part of this collaboration.
The Change Now global summit brings together the most innovative minds and leaders in sustainable development with the aim of accelerating the ecological and social transition by enabling the scaling up of solutions responding to the major emergencies of our century. Driven by a visionary, humanistic and action-oriented spirit, the ChangeNOW adventures began in 2017 in Paris, federating and creating opportunities for thousands of key change-makers ever since.
