Our Mission

Promoting a just, more equitable, democratic and climate-resilient society, with energy systems serving as a means for transformation. Likewise, we seek to empower and provide capacities to local stakeholders to decide their own future and to increase social acceptance of renewable energy system.

Our Vision

We envision a just and post-fossil future based on:

• Solidarity: we collaborate with actions where life is at the center.

• Empathy: we are sensitive to the collective and differentiated realities of those affected by transitions.

• Inclusion: we believe in the power of multicultural societies that collectively contribute to an equitable future.

• Equity: we seek to eliminate structural inequalities and prevent their perpetuation during transitions.

• Democracy: we provide tools that enable equitable access and agency in decision-making.

• A conviction in ending extractivism: we aim to build a resilient and decentralized economy, less dependent on the export-oriented primary sector, where local added value improves, is sustained and equitably distributed.
