We are part of big investment into wind energy personally by small amounts of money to save CO2

With our investment into irrigation systems we use renewable energy to increase yields of agricultural harvest and income of farmers families without CO2 emission.

Creates 3 Impacts

Ecologically: Climate We reduce CO2 in both countries and strive for climate neutrality

All in all

With an investment of just 1 percent of its members’ annual income, One Climate World achieves reductions in CO2 emissions. This allows us to build a climate neutral community amongst all participants of the cooperative, to create jobs and fight energy poverty, ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to affordable energy they need to thrive.
To achieve our goals, the cooperative’s funds will be shared fairly between partners in the Global North and Global South.

In the first year, investment projects will be focused on four areas:
1. Rural solar photovoltaic irrigation systems, to assist farmers in their daily tasks and help them to adapt to changing climate conditions (Rwanda).
2. City household solar water heating systems (Rwanda).
3. Solar photovoltaic rooftop systems on clinic-/school buildings to provide renewable energy for empowerment in disadvantaged communities (South Africa)
4. Participation in wind power stations stations or free-field solar power station (Germany and the Netherlands).

Related to the total yield of all projects, investors and members of the cooperative will benefit by dividends on their investment.

Attention! You are taking a risk!

The contributions of the members are invested both in

  1. Capacity building of the young cooperative at this early stage, and in
  2. Energy projects in Rwanda, South Africa and Europe.

The goal of the cooperative is a long term investment into renewable energy on a climate justice path. During that term, a large part of member’s capital is “tied up” in these renewable energy projects.

During all that time, your money is exposed to the risks to which One Climate World is exposed. This may mean that you will ultimately not get your investment back in full, or at all.

Do not invest money that you cannot afford to lose!

One Climate World contributions are suitable for members who have a warm heart for One Climate World and its activities. One Climate World contributions are not suitable for members who participate purely for financial gain.
