Kara Solar at COP30
The first Climate COP in the Amazon must spotlight Amazonian solutions.
In Belém, Kara Solar and our sister company Motores Amazonas will present our vision for a solar Amazon.
As climate leaders gather in the Amazon, we’ll show how Indigenous-led solar energy and transport systems are a real solution to stop deforestation and support territorial visions of the good life.
Amid stalled climate action and broken promises to forest defenders, we’re bringing something real to COP: our new long-tail electric motor, designed and built locally by our manufacturing company Motores Amazonas.
