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:

Our project empowers underrepresented groups by promoting inclusivity in both the development and deployment stages. We prioritize community engagement in climate-vulnerable regions, where our off-grid streetlights can provide reliable lighting and reduce energy poverty, particularly in rural or remote areas with limited access to the grid. These communities, often overlooked in traditional energy solutions, benefit from the environmental, economic, and safety advantages our technology offers.

In terms of organizational representation, our team values diversity, with members from various backgrounds and expertise contributing to the project's success. We are actively fostering an inclusive work culture that encourages collaboration and ensures equal opportunities for women, people of color, and youth. For instance, our marketing and engineering teams include female professionals, and we actively recruit talent from underrepresented communities in the STEM field.

By supporting a diverse workforce, we not only enhance innovation but also ensure that the voices of those who are most affected by climate change are integral to our mission. Additionally, through our partnerships and outreach, we aim to create opportunities for local communities—especially women and youth—to gain skills in renewable energy and sustainable technology, empowering them to become leaders in the climate movement.
