Across the globe, communities are reclaiming their power by producing clean, renewable energy.
In Chad, people are putting solar panels on schools and small businesses where there is no electrical grid. In the Amazon, Indigenous communities are using solar to stay independent from oil. In South Africa, communities are transforming old mines into shining renewable energy plants that power homes and transitions away from fossil fuels.
A fossil free world is ours in the making. In every corner of the world, communities who have been least served by the fossil fuel era are coming together to build safe, affordable and reliable energy.
They are taking the power, literally, away from the fossil fuel industry – and you can join them!
