Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

This project actively engages and empowers traditionally underrepresented groups in the climate movement. By focusing on rights and benefits related to biomass production, it addresses critical issues like land rights and ecosystem services that significantly affect disinvested and indigenous populations. The project's emphasis on fair labor practices, environmental safety, and public health is particularly beneficial for vulnerable groups including women, migrants, and the disabled, ensuring their protection and fair treatment. Additionally, it takes into account the impact of biomass use on local food security and social development. This is vital as it ensures that the shift to biomass energy does not compromise the nutritional needs and food availability of local communities, who are often the most affected by environmental changes. The project’s holistic approach not only aids in environmental sustainability but also in creating equitable and inclusive opportunities for these groups to actively participate and benefit from the climate movement, thereby fostering a more inclusive and socially just transition to sustainable practices.
