EarthSpark's @UNFCCC @Momentum_UNFCCC award winning "Feminist Electrification" is a powerful concept, but how can we formalize it into something that truly shapes the sector? Looking at @CriterionInst and other thoughtful movement-builders for...

Well-planned mini-grids can help with electrification https://wapo.st/3YHBiaR Thanks @washingtonpost for printing @amarchambault's letter and highlighting EarthSpark's work! Turns out the boring stuff is the secret sauce! :)

“In rural Haiti, we need to ask what is the best technology of today and then use that!” People went from no phones to WhatsApp! Same needs to happen with other tech. @emmadouyon #hdi5 @HaitiDevInst

On #InternationalWomensDay, we invite everyone working on #SDG7 to embrace "Feminist Electrification." When women participate and lead in all aspects of designing + delivering #SE4All, everyone wins.

#genderjustice and #climatejustice are inextricably linked.

#EmbraceEquity

Siloed approaches are stalling #SDG7. That's why we're working with @UN_Energy on an #EnergyCompact to bring clean electric cooking powered by ☀️-powered #minigrids to thousands of homes and businesses in #Haiti. #COP27

“Our work is both ‘high tech’ and ‘no tech’” says President @amarchambault. Solar power + battery storage + smart grid tech for 24/7 power … and also deep, real partnerships with communities. BOTH are needed for true success.

⭐️Wow! EarthSpark's "Scaling Smart, Solar, Energy Access Microgrids in Haiti" named ☀️"Sustainable Energy Initiative of the Year"☀️ by @IslandsInnovate and @ClintonGlobal !

Electric cooking + #renewableenergy are essential to achieve #SDG7! Electricity grids can (should!) be designed with this in mind. Check out our new @UN_Energy Compact for e-cooking in Haiti.
