The world’s poorest people contributed little to climate change, yet they are most impacted, and least able to adapt. We enable people living in poverty to transform their lives by improving their access to clean energy and empowering them to develop sustainable and resilient livelihoods.

    1.2 billion people are still living in poverty, inequality is rising, and the world is failing to decarbonise quickly enough to avoid climate disaster. The world’s poorest people contributed little to climate change, yet they are most impacted, and least able to adapt. This is not fair. And it is not sustainable. Without clean energy, we won’t make the breakthroughs needed by people and the planet by 2030.

    Renewable World works with climate-vulnerable communities to improve access to life’s essentials - water, health, education and livelihoods - using clean energy. We help unlock demand for energy and support communities to install technologies like solar micro-grids, water pumps, biogas and early warning systems. We then support communities to use these technologies to achieve long-term transformation in food security, health and education, and sustainable livelihoods.
