GOGLA has developed research programme to explore the resilience and adaptation benefits of off-grid solar technologies, including:
The goal is to better profile the impact of off-grid solar to climate aligned investors, development partners, funders, and policymakers.
The first output from this workstream is the Paper: Powering Climate Adaptation and Justice (September 2023).
Two further activities are under development:
GOGLA also leads the Solar4Adapation Advocacy Campaign, and hosts a Climate and Impact Working Group for its Members.
Written with the support of the IKEA Foundation, in partnership with Acumen, Efficiency for Access, Ashden and the World Wildlife Fund, this paper offers insight into the transformative potential of off-grid solar solutions to enable a wide range of positive climate adaptation impacts, from powering green growth and opportunity to combatting the impacts of droughts, floods and storms.
