💡 Light transforms. That was clear from my very first project at @solarfund, a home lighting initiative in rural China back in 1994. This photo was taken inside the tent of a family of Tibetan nomads who were able to turn on a light bulb for the first time in their lives thanks…

#Electricity is a powerful tool in the fight against #poverty, and—as argued by @rajshah—the single best investment we can make for our shared future.   We have the technology. Now, let's take action. #sdg7 nytimes.com/2024/09/22/opi…


Happy #WorldWaterWeek! This year’s theme of “Bridging Borders” underscores the value of innovation & collaboration. At @solarfund, we’re working to expand #CleanWater access in rural regions through solar-powered water pumping. Learn more about us: self.org

#COP28 spelled the beginning of the end for fossil fuels, something we should all celebrate. But phasing out fossil fuels & scaling #renewables isn't enough—we need to build an energy ecosystem that is accessible for all. My reflections from #COP28UAE: tinyurl.com/3m587hzk

At #COP28, I attended a very inspiring talk by National Geographic Explorer @Enric_Sala about the urgent need to protect our oceans. Enric and I discussed how solar can be part of the solution—reducing both CO2 emissions and pollution, especially in coastal ecosystems. #COP28UAE
