To combat climate change, the world urgently needs to decarbonize — switching to clean energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro power. This shift can disrupt economies and communities dependent on fossil fuels — but it also offers an opportunity to connect billions of people currently living in energy poverty to reliable, renewable electricity. That’s why the Bezos Earth Fund is supporting an equitable energy transition, working with anchor partners the IKEA Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation Foundation through the The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP). GEAPP projects across the globe are implementing strategies focused on alleviating energy poverty within a green energy transition — like reskilling workers in traditional energy sectors and creating new job opportunities in clean energy. #climate #climateaction #RenewableEnergy #JustEnergyTransition #GlobalEnergyAllianceforPeopleandPlanet #GEAPP Nicole Iseppi

What does it take to create a fair, inclusive and innovative energy future? In this edition of Earth’s Energy Future, we’re shining a spotlight on stories that show what’s possible. Jeremiah Thoronka’s work in Sub-Saharan Africa is a powerful reminder that local innovation can spark global change. Spain’s community solar business models are making clean energy more affordable, breaking down barriers for communities that need it most. We also dive into insights from the IEA and Global Renewables Alliance, exploring what it will take to speed up the clean energy transition in a way that leaves no one behind. These stories inspire hope- and action. Read more by clicking the link below and share your thoughts with us!

?? Exciting news from the Northwest Territories (NWT)! This groundbreaking project supports long-term, large-scale protection of lands and inland waters across the NWT. This initiative will support Indigenous-led stewardship across nearly 380,000 square kilometers of lands and waters in the territory and could contribute more than 2% toward Canada's commitment to protect and conserve 30% of its lands and waters by 2030. A huge thank you to our philanthropic partners for their generous support of NWT: Our Land for the Future. Your generosity is helping build a brighter, more sustainable future! https://pew.org/3Z6XWLy
