Acting for climate solidarity !

Set up in 1976, Geres is a development NGO working in Europe, Africa and Asia to improve living conditions and fighting against climate change and its impacts.

The energy transition is our main lever for action. It aims at bringing sustainable energy access to all by using local resources and promoting a responsible energy consumption.

In the interests of ambitious societal change, we encourage the development and rollout of innovative, locally-based solutions, we support territorial climate and energy policies and mobilize all stakeholders around Climate Solidarity, urging them to take action and stand up for the most vulnerable.

Our operations include work on developing value chains as these create jobs and are often key to the sustainability of the solutions deployed. We also attach great importance to ensuring that all stakeholders have a sense of ownership. We focus on capacity-building in order to drive the dynamics of change, develop resilience strategies and open up the field of opportunity so that everyone can play a part in sustainable development.
