Global Green is the US affiliate of Green Cross International, which has affiliates in 20+ countries. Rising global energy demand and over-reliance on fossil fuels are the main drivers of climate change
To meet the needs of nearly 10 billion people by 2050, energy production must double. But to protect the climate, greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 80%. Maintaining the same path is a recipe for environmental and humanitarian disaster. Our Smart Energy program fosters a secure, equitable and sustainable energy future for the world, using advocacy and practical projects to promote energy conservation and efficiency, and to accelerate the transition from a carbon-based economy to a clean and sustainable energy model, accessible to all.

We're seeking support from a volunteer in the fields of development, philanthropy and/or impact investing to create a 1-2 summary or 10 slide deck on opportunities for growing programs in Ghana and West Africa.
