InnoBlog: Renewable Energy alumni nominated as Young Global Changers with Climatize

William Wiseman and I – Alba, MSc in Renewable Energy alumni and co-founders of the startup Climatize,  had the honour to be nominated as Young Global Changers by the Global Solutions Initiative and were selected as 1 of the 10 projects out of 550 applicants to pitch our company at the World Policy Forum held in Berlin, Germany last March.

What is recoupling?

This year’s theme for the summit was “Listen to the world: Promoting social well-being within planetary boundaries”. One of the key words of the event was the term “recoupling” which stands for connecting economic progress with social and environmental wellbeing.

 

Climatize supports recoupling by enabling people to invest in clean energy projects from as little as their spare change. We change the climate narrative from all about sacrifice to opportunity by allowing everyone to benefit from the energy transition. By carefully selecting the projects we invest in, we ensure a positive impact for both the environment and the community, creating local jobs, lowering power costs, and building wealth by focusing on underserved communities. People, planet, and profit are closer than ever before.
