India’s Global Himalayan Expedition won UN Climate Action Award
Global Himalayan Expedition, an Indian organisation that leverages tourism and technology to help remote communities access solar energy has won the 2020 UN Global Climate Action Award.
GHE is one of the world’s first organisations using tourism and technology to bring solar energy to remote communities.
GHE conducts “Impact Expeditions” to remote Himalayan villages and uses a portion of the expedition fee to fund the capital cost of the hardware, transportation, installation and training of village-scale solar micro-grids.
The micro-grid infrastructure set up by GHE is owned and operated by the community.
the GHE has solar electrified more than 131 villages in three regions of India, directly impacting the lives of more than 60,000 villagers.
