Abstract | The role of social enterprises, in combating climate change by providing decentralized energy to rural communities in transitioning economies, is an emerging field of research. Social enterprises can play an important role in meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), suggesting that they are effective conduits for developing climate change policy on adoption and mitigation strategies. Interviews with social enterprises that are providers of sustainable energy solutions, like SELCO Solar Light Pvt. Ltd. (SELCO), in transitioning economies like India, show how they can improve the quality of life of rural communities and their livelihoods. This chapter looks at the role played by SELCO in dealing with climate change policy adoption and mitigation, and how it has played an important role in enhancing the quality of life of rural households and livelihoods through sustainable energy solutions and services. The chapter provides insights into the role of the social enterprise in shaping climate change policies in transitioning economies. |
