Programs in the Galapagos
The Solar Nations framework emerged from a project in the Galapagos Islands that operates under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol. As a consequence of a Human Capacity Building project which began there in 2002, a Solar Nations project has been established as GalapagoSolar, an energy conservation and solar energy development program on San Cristóbal Island.
