Generation Power: The Future of Clean Energy
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first ever Think Piece Publication, marking the remarkable journey of our Clean Energy Fellows in 2024. The think piece component develops fellows into energy thought leaders through three key aspects: critical thinking to analyze complex clean energy challenges, practical application by adapting global trends to Cambodia's context, and leadership development by contributing original solutions to Cambodia's energy future. We invite you to sit with each think piece, each a fellow’s meditation on a matter that touches the everyday life of people in Cambodia. It is our hope that this publication will power a future forward, from thought to action.
