Empowering the Local Stewards 💡We need to take as much climate action today as possible. 💡There is tremendous low-hanging fruit in climate action helping low-income communities upgrade to modern energy.  💡 If you want to create a sustainable change, you need to listen to and support women. When I started MEC I knew we could build a clean energy intervention based on the best practices of the women’s financial inclusion sector. Today these women are in the driver's seat, choosing the clean energy products they want and upgrading to clean energy through our program. #highintegritycarboncredits

MEC combines the best practices from the financial inclusion sector, such as women-centricity, long-term partnerships, and institutional capacity building, and the carbon sector, such as conservatism and robust data management, to develop the highest-integrity carbon credits. Read this article by April Allderdice, CEO, MicroEnergy Credits, for details on the principles we follow to ensure our credits deliver the climate and social impact they claim. #microenergycredits #climateaction #financialinclusion #carboncreditswork #cleanenergy

Wishing everyone a bright, safe, and joyous Diwali! The best thing about the festive season is the feeling of hope it brings. When the world lights up around us, we feel hope that it can indeed be a better place for everyone, that it is not too late to make our planet healthier, and that those who are at the most risk of being left behind in the energy transition can get access to resources to improve their lives and make them safer for their children and families. Here's to hope! Here’s to action! Let’s keep the health of the environment in mind as we celebrate. Happy Diwali! #microenergycredits #happydiwali

Today, on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we reflect on the power of sustainable solutions to uplift communities while protecting our planet. “Poverty forces people to spend more money on the most polluting forms of energy, harming their health, opportunities, and savings. Smoky kerosene and traditional wood stoves are two examples. MEC communities turn this dynamic on its head.”, says April Allderdice, CEO, MicroEnergy Credits. At MicroEnergy Credits, we are partnering with communities of microentrepreneurs to work towards a future where everyone can access clean energy, creating pathways out of poverty and contributing to climate action.

"On my field visit to Howrah in West Bengal, I observed and understood how clean lighting solutions can significantly reduce household energy drudgery and the situation of family members while also reducing the energy cost burden. When the families were interviewed, almost all shared that LED bulbs provide much-needed brightness, help reduce the electricity bill, do not heat like the ICL, and, of course, continue to work for at least four hours in case of power cuts.", writes Nitisha Agrawal on her visit to witness the MicroEnergy Credits Efficient Lighting Program in India. Read about how the MEC clean lighting program is lighting up lives for millions of low-income homes in India in an energy-efficient way while providing a range of other sustainable development benefits to these communities: https://lnkd.in/dj_DEf9E #microenergycredits #cleanlighting #cleanenergy #energyaccess #sustainabledevelopment #climateaction

We are pleased to sponsor the Sa-Dhan Association National Conference on Inclusive Growth 2024, being held on October 23rd and 24th in New Delhi, India.
