Founded in 1976, Geres is an international development NGO dedicated to improving living conditions and addressing the impacts of climate change. As a field-based organization, Geres considers the energy transition a key driver of its action. To achieve meaningful societal change, Geres develops and disseminates innovative, locally adapted solutions, supports regional climate-energy policies, and mobilizes stakeholders around Climate Solidarity to act in support of the most vulnerable populations.
With over 30 years of experience in Southeast Asia, Geres develops innovative, locally adapted energy solutions to improve livelihoods, promote sustainable resource management, and strengthen resilience to climate change. Currently active in Cambodia and Myanmar, Geres seeks to expand its activities in these 2 countries and initiate operations in other parts of the region.
In Cambodia, Geres implements several initiatives, including promoting energy efficiency in the garment sector and advancing sustainable biomass sourcing for industrial use, particularly focusing on wood energy. These interventions are guided by principles of social justice and women’s empowerment, ensuring inclusivity and equity. Geres strives to make its efforts complementary to those of local civil society organizations (CSOs), such as the Cambodia Women for Peace and development (CWPD) and Live and Learn Cambodia (LLC), with whom we collaborate closely.
Since 2018, Geres' garment program (i.e. Combination of all garment sector related projects) has supported over 65 factories. Its technical interventions align with the priorities of key institutions in the sector, such as TAFTAC (Textile, Apparel, Footwear & Travel Goods Association of Cambodia) and CGTI (Cambodia Garment Training Institute). To encourage the adoption of sustainable energy practices, Geres showcases replicable examples within the industry, while collecting, analyzing, and sharing lessons learned with stakeholders both in Cambodia and internationally.
