In our next webinar, we'll listen to stories from Ukraine. As the country enters yet another winter of full-scale war and constant attacks on its energy infrastructure, how are Ukrainians coping? And what can people in other parts of the world do to support them? We'll also share information about EKOenergy-funded solar projects in Ukraine and hear from other (non-profit) renewable energy projects that are seeking funding. 📅 Date: Wednesday, 2 December ⏰ Time: 3 pm Kyiv | 2 pm Brussels 📍 Location: Zoom: https://lnkd.in/dQZtMjGK Everyone is welcome, whether you are looking for projects to support or just want to support by attending and listening. (If the time zone doesn't suit you, feel free to check out the recording afterward.) In cooperation with the #Renewables4Ukraine campaign, the World Wind Energy Association, and the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association. #SupportUkraine

The Science Based Targets initiative has published version 2.0 of its Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Most attention has gone to the new target-setting methods, but another addition also deserves a closer look: Ongoing Emissions Responsibility, or OER. In a new LinkedIn article on our page, Paulo López Muñoz briefly explains what OER is and how EKOenergy fits in: every EKOenergy-labelled MWh funds additional renewable energy projects in low- and middle-income countries, as well as our advocacy work for renewables. This is the kind of climate action SBTi now recognises through OER. This matters for companies with science-based targets, but also for energy sellers and consultants looking for simple ways to offer their clients more.

In 2023, EKOenergy granted €319,116 from its Climate Fund to Practical Action in Bolivia for a 4-year project to bring solar power and solar-powered irrigation systems to off-grid farming communities in the Lake Titicaca area. The area, like many parts of the Andean, faces 2 interrelated problems: high and persistent poverty and increasing negative environmental impacts from climate change, especially drought. About half of the population lives in poverty and faces severe food insecurity. The project, which also includes training in nature-based agricultural practices to improve productivity and conserve local natural resources, was a finalist for the Premios Verdes 2026. Premios Verdes (Green Awards) is one of the leading sustainability platforms in Latin America and the Caribbean, recognising and showcasing initiatives that generate positive environmental and social impact. At the Bolivia Chapter of the Premios Verdes, held from 2–4 September in Sucre, Bolivia, the solar project in the Andean communities near Lake Titicaca was celebrated as a national finalist, placed second in the Energy category. Congratulations to everyone involved in the careful planning and skillful implementation! Keep up the great work. The photos below are from a short video that Practical Action recently published. You can find it on our YouTube channel with English subtitles. See the links in the comments below.
