This project aims to deliver specialized renewable energy capacity-building to Indigenous Communities in Colombia and Ecuador to empower them to address their needs, drive sustainable change, and participate in the clean energy transition. The project seeks to help create the enabling conditions for adopting clean energy and energy-efficient solutions for Indigenous Peoples to actualize climate change mitigation in Colombia and Ecuador. It also seeks to decrease barriers for Indigenous Peoples to access and benefit from clean energy capacity-building programs. Through accessible and inclusive clean energy needs assessments and policy recommendations by, for, and with Indigenous Nations in Colombia and Ecuador, the project will enable the adoption of more equitable practices leading to Indigenous-led clean energy solutions.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) enhanced adoption of clean energy and energy-efficient solutions for Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, all genders, and all generations to actualize nature-positive climate change mitigation in Latin America; and (2) decreased barriers for Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, all genders, and all generations in Latin America to access and benefit from clean energy capacity building programs.
