How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our project supports underrepresented groups by providing educational opportunities and employment in sustainable building technologies. We focus on women and youth from vulnerable communities, offering them training and jobs in green technology. Our leadership team is diverse, with women in key roles (Alejandra and Mariel), ensuring that our decisions reflect diverse perspectives. We also collaborate with local communities to raise awareness of sustainable construction and offer educational programs that equip youth with skills in green technologies.
