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)']
Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
The ProAct-Layer project actively empowers underrepresented groups in the climate movement, particularly women, youth, and climate-vulnerable communities. Led by a woman of color, Khwezi Innovations prioritizes inclusivity by ensuring diverse representation across leadership and project teams. Women hold key leadership positions, including CEO and COO roles, driving decision-making and innovation. The project engages youth by providing training, and mentorship in sustainability-focused roles, fostering the next generation of climate leaders. Also, we work closely with climate-vulnerable communities, offering education and running campaigns on sustainable practices while incorporating their insights into product development to ensure relevance and accessibility. Through our partnerships with local organizations and initiatives, we aim to amplify the voices of underrepresented groups in climate action. By involving these groups in the design, testing, and distribution phases of ProAct-Layer, we not only create a more inclusive process but also empower them to contribute to and benefit from sustainable solutions. This approach ensures that our project not only addresses environmental challenges but also creates equitable opportunities for those disproportionately affected by climate change, reinforcing their agency and impact in the movement.
