Developed community-owned solar-powered vehicles; hosted workshops in India and Europe; building digital tools for climate resilience, interactive maps, a nomadic platform, and a decentralized app by 2025.

Since early 2022, we have been collectively developing the concept of Solarpunk Nomadism.

From concept development, to the creation of the first two vehicles, their use on the ground and a series of co-creating workshops in India and Europe.

All the vehicles created by us are community-owned and employed to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and climate-resilient society.

WHO ARE THE SOLARPUNK NOMADS

Changemakers, dreamers, and builders who live nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles using zero-carbon emission vehicles - such as EV vans, EV bikes, sailboats or even traveling on foot- powered by renewable energies.

πŸ‘‰These nomads remain constantly connected to the internet through satellite connections and are proactive in forging a Solarpunk society.

πŸ‘‰ They are the storytellers and primary catalysts of a society where technology and ecological wisdom converge to craft a brighter future for all.
