How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['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:

PurCity’s project creates direct benefits for everyone within and around the buildings it serves, including women, youth, climate-vulnerable communities, and people of color. By providing cleaner air and significant energy savings, our technology reduces energy costs, making sustainable living more affordable and accessible for all, particularly in underprivileged communities. This is especially important for schools and residential buildings where these groups are often concentrated, enabling them to live and work in healthier environments.

Our system also empowers communities through education and training, providing knowledge on maintaining and utilizing sustainable technologies. This fosters local skills development and creates job opportunities, particularly for youth and women, in areas that lack technical expertise. Within our organization, diversity is prioritized by fostering an inclusive workforce, ensuring equitable representation, and collaborating with international partners that support underrepresented groups.
