Advancing Climate Change Solutions
We work to increase the use of renewable energy in developing countries, where more than 1 billion people lack access to electricity.
Renewable energy can help power the world, reduce the impacts of climate change and transform communities.
How It Works
We support practical solutions that increase the use of renewable energy at the community level in developing countries.
The Mott Foundation is working with partners abroad to help communities in developing countries respond to the effects of global climate change. Our objective: provide access to renewable energy in developing countries in the Amazon and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Mott’s international work is focused on increasing the deployment of renewable energy systems in rural areas of developing countries, where nearly 1 billion people lack access to electricity.
We make grants to:
- national and international NGOs, to create and nurture global and regional initiatives that help entrepreneurs address finance and policy barriers that prevent access to clean energy; and
- national and regional organizations that provide technical assistance and networking opportunities to communities in the Amazon and Sub-Saharan Africa.
