Over the last four years, innovations supported by the Ayrton Fund have helped create and supported 210,000 sustainable long-term jobs in the clean energy market primarily across Sub-Saharan Africa, alongside impacts in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and increasingly through local businesses.
Behind that headline figure are real people, skills and livelihoods that underpin the transition to a low-carbon economy and wider systems change. The Ayrton Fund Green Jobs Insights Study explores how clean energy innovation is creating and supporting jobs across emerging markets, and the systems needed to measure this impact effectively. Alongside the report, our short films showcase how this translates on the ground, with stories from BURN Manufacturing in Kenya and InspiraFarms bringing these impacts to life.
