ABOUT THE CLIMATE PARLIAMENT

The Climate Parliament is a global network of legislators working to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. We raise awareness of climate change amongst MPs, as well as of the multitude of other risks of a reliance on fossil fuels. We support legislators in taking political, legislative and budgetary initiatives to promote solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal and other forms of renewable energy. Our approach involves developing policies that promote investment in renewables from the smallest scale: the rural standalone and mini-grid technologies that can transform lives in the poorest communities, to the largest: inter-regional renewable energy supergrids that will give humanity the power to ditch fossil fuels for good.

Active in Tanzania since 2012, we are embarking on an exciting project to deepen our policy impact in the Tanzanian parliament, working with our existing cross-party network of Tanzanian MPs. Our focus will be on seizing key policy moments in the coming months to ensure that Tanzania’s renewable energy policy is strengthened so as to attract the investment the country needs to harness its rich renewable resources and increase energy access for those without modern energy services. The project forms part of our on-going work to strengthen our parliamentary networks across the East African region.
