Green Technology

These projects support the development of technologies that require less power and emit less carbon - and which can actually help developing countries "leapfrog" the developed world by creating more climate-friendly projects.

GREEN FACT: Many GlobalGiving projects act as incubators for promising new technologies by deploying them in the field on a small scale and gathering the information and experience needed to scale and replicate them.
