At the end of March, Energy Peace Partners and 11 other non-profits launched the Leapfrog Alliance, a new coalition calling for stronger incentives to increase corporate investment in #cleanenergy access in unelectrified and underserved communities globally.   The goal of this platform is to strengthen the incentive structure embedded in corporate environmental accounting frameworks. To do this, one of the suggested proposals is to advocate for major investments in unelectrified regions, by asking policymakers and standards bodies to encourage and enable companies to dedicate up to 10% of their global clean energy procurement to these projects.   Read more about it through the link below ⬇ https://lnkd.in/dFh8sh7a

The UK has some of the coldest weather and least-insulated buildings in Europe, which is expensive for a nonprofit. If you want to lower your bills and emissions, this blog will help you create a plan. You can even do this with buildings you rent, and with listed properties. More on that in later blogs. https://lnkd.in/eR566_Mf

This is true innovation. Here is an organization that has been around since 1764 and most certainly has established rules and traditions. I'm sure that when it comes to some things the old adage that "We have always done it this way." makes sense. They are making a sincere effort and a positive contribution to climate change and reducing carbon emissions by adopting #GeothermalEnergy to heat and cool their entire facility. Granted, it required a $1.4MM investment but the payoff will benefit the #NonProfit long term as well as the #EnviromentalImpact. #ClimateChange #GreenhouseGasEmissions

On April 4, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced eight recipients of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, one of the most significant clean energy programs in the Inflation Reduction Act. Five of those awardees are on the receiving end of Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA) funding, which specifically focuses on bringing #CleanEnergy to low-income and disadvantaged communities that have been previously boxed out of the market due to high upfront costs. WRI Energy's Alexander Dane and Mansie Hough just released a new article explaining all about the CCIA: Why is it significant? How much money has been awarded, and to whom? What kinds of projects will the money go to? What additional legwork must be done to ensure the program’s success? Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/e7yhGQhF
