🔥 Just Released! WECAN is launching a new report, “How Local Community Power is Central to a Just Renewable Energy Transition,” which highlights effective and equitable community-led, rights-based energy solutions as key to ending the fossil fuel era and achieving a just transition.

☀️ From solar microgrids in Ladakh, India, to energy cooperatives in Spain, communities across the world are already leading the way toward a regenerative energy future, grounded in justice, democracy, and ecological well-being. As governments negotiate climate action in Bonn and prepare for #COP30, we must follow the leadership of frontline communities and scale real solutions.

💵 $45+ billion needed for full replacement.
