Renewable energy solutions also alleviate climate change, facilitate a healthier environment, and they tend to trigger a more extensive social change. The benefits of renewable energy sources are not just limited to being innovative and creating more jobs or encouraging gender equity or easing up the process of getting citizens involved in the full running of the affairs, benefits that run deeper into the more equitable and sustainable world. Thanks to the Skoll Foundation, the Solutions Insights Lab (SIL) by SJN has produced What works, exploring questions like Can Renewable Tech Fuel Sustainable solutions?
It is a search site where solution journalism articles and interviews on various leaders with diverse backgrounds, whose work in the last 20 years has been sponsored by Skoll Foundation to discover the ideas that have worked in solving social challenges across the globe are found. Research and analysis service The SIL is a service that is research and analysis oriented and works towards studying the area what is working and not working within a particular area or field. It utilizes the interview methodology using solutions journalism approach but it is not journalism, and is duly and adequately.
Technological Innovation
Reflected as apart of the main journalism work of SJN. The interviews are not journalistic works. They do not constitute any form of endorsement by SJN which is a non partisan, independent organization, that does not promote any particular ideology of changing society.
These interviews, which we supplement with pertinent publications available through the Solutions Story Tracker by SJN, help us to extrapolate the lessons of the fieldwork, and draw attention to ideas concerning the role of renewable energy solutions in climate change mitigation and the promotion of a range of other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including poverty eradication and promoting gender equality. As we have always observed.
Energy Independence
Solution design is possible where change agents have the capabilities of tailoring solutions that can solve more than one problem, and they do. The health, both of environment as well as the economy, of rural and underdeveloped communities both is boosted by the availing of clean and affordable renewable energy there where jobs are created, along with resources available that promote innovation, as well as entrepreneurship.
To give an example, Lifeline Energy designs, makes and distributes solar and hand-crank powered media players to link communities in sub-Saharan Africa with vital information. Children will be able to hear that about school, farmers can hear that about pesticides on agriculture radio broadcasts, frontline healthcare workers will be able to hear pre-recorded health messages, and all people can receive information that enables them to become active members of their community with enhanced knowledge. The more solutions of this kind that I reviewed, the more I found out.
Environmental Benefits with Economic Implications
That their advantages tended to have third and fourth levels. As an illustration, they enhance the lives of women and make them less unequal, or they help the communities to access information and services e.g. healthcare. The most powerful and cost effective solutions are multi-dimensional solutions. An example would be that of the Barefoot College International which uses clean energy to enhance socioeconomic growth, save the environment, and general welfare of women. Their change theory has women at its center. According to Rodrigo Paris their CEO, they invest in the women since; as he pointed out, women have the knowledge, the roots in the communities, etc. Women such as Jullietta, 69 years of age and mother of seven who have 30 grand children.
Conclusion
In the Guatemala area are provided with knowledge and means to ignite homes, as well as schools with the use of solar energy. In that manner, they will be able to create income out of their hands, create a better environment and open more opportunities of economic development of the whole village. The women are also at the center of many new developments.
Across the community because of the new skills and financial independence they enjoy today, and this makes them have greater ability to make decisions. In an almost 16,000 thousand kilometers distance group of women farmers in Harpur (India) bought and installed solar pumps that utilize low cost and clean energy to provide water to their farms. The pumps have led to the rise in their yields and materialized the ability to cultivate more varieties of crops a phenomenon that has led them to more gains. They also enjoy selling irrigation services to other people.
