#Renewables

The Middle East and North Africa region is blessed with tremendous renewable energy resources such as a bright sun and strong winds capable of powering the region into a prosperous and peaceful future .
Renewable energy is cheap, sustainable, and already making our planet more green and safe. We know the future we want, and renewables are how we get there.
Together we must push global governments away from fossil fuels and get them to invest in solar and wind. It’s not going to be an easy task, but it’s one we must undertake if we’re to save our climate for generations to come.
