Abstract:

The Let Communities Lead (LCL) 2024 edition compiles nine stories illustrating how mobilization and making of knowledge leads to the integration of clean energy technologies, in pursuit of multiple social, environmental and economic objectives, within and beyond communities. The first three stories from Colombia, Brazil, and India, capture the experience of rural communities adapting energy technologies to be consistent with their social and cultural values, through knowledge partnerships. Another two stories describe how urban communities, one each in Switzerland and Belgium, seek to re-imagine citizen participation to make urban sustainability programs more democratic and effective. Then, two additional stories narrate the process of forming partnerships from the standpoint of individuals, who leverage their scientific training to assist communities in North Macedonia and India. The final two stories share how a growing movement of communities in Brazil are forming networks to share knowledge and collectively advocate for sustainable change.
