Position Code: LISBS61
Organisation Description:
This NGO aims to empower young people to take an active role in the energy transition by building young people’s capacity in developing small-scale RE energy projects. The positive environment created in the training events and the sense of achievement of actually building RE installations is a unique feature of this organisation, with benefits that extend beyond climate action. By empowering and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, they are also building skills for young people to take an active role in society.
This host company intends to achieve this by focusing their work on three key focus areas: education, building the community and supporting the development of projects.
It’s not news that the transition to clean and sustainable energy needs to happen fast and at all scales. Yet, this transition has been slow and often dominated by large corporations. So, while the fuel is different, the energy system is still basically the same – highly centralized and benefiting the same players, with very few local benefits.
