Why GPH is sharing this.
Green PowerHouse works across green hydrogen, solar and agriculture in emerging markets. We recommend The Manifesto of Hope as a companion to that work — not as a publication of ours.
Das writes about climate action, renewable energy, engineering, policy and citizen leadership, with particular attention to the Global South. It is a book we believe belongs in the conversation with the institutions and investors we advise.
