We fight against Climate Change
At Solarig, we remain convinced that we still have time to slow down the effects of climate change on Earth. Climate change (the global rise in temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions) is one of the greatest challenges of our time. But it is also an opportunity.
Today, we choose to look to the future with optimism and action. That is why at Solarig we are committed to real solutions, not just talk. Every day, we work towards one of the most transformative solutions: the energy transition. Through renewable energy, efficiency, innovation and commitment to people, we are promoting a cleaner, fairer and more sustainable energy model.
Our collaboration with
Hope! Estamos a Tiempo
Our conviction that there is still time is also reflected in our collaboration with HOPE!, the docuseries that gives a voice to those who are already driving change and promoting climate action from different corners of the planet. Together with them, we want to inspire, raise awareness and demonstrate that the energy transition is not only necessary, but possible.
Solutions that are already regenerating ecosystems
Five real stories of environmental recovery in five countries where Solarig is driving change
Mount Abantos, (Madrid, Spain)
In August 1999, a fire ravaged Mount Abantos in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid), reducing 425 hectares and more than 170,000 trees to ashes. Over the following 26 years, thanks to a forest restoration plan and the efforts of government agencies, technicians and local residents, more than 440,000 trees have been replanted. Today, Mount Abantos is much more than a restored forest: it is a symbol of the value of collective effort and of how sustainable management, collaboration, involvement and long-term planning can transform a tragedy into a story of hope.
Tanaro River (Piamonte, Italy)
In northern Italy, the Tanaro river basin in the Asti region (Piedmont) has suffered repeated flooding exacerbated by extreme rainfall. To address this situation, an ambitious river ecosystem restoration plan was launched, including the renaturalisation of the banks, the reconnection of the floodplain and the recovery of riparian vegetation. These actions have improved the soil’s capacity to absorb water, reduced erosion and created a more resilient and balanced landscape. Today, the Tanaro is an example of how natural restoration and local collaboration strengthen resilience to extreme weather events.
Green belt in Hermosillo (Sonora, Mexico)
In northern Mexico, the city of Hermosillo (Sonora) has transformed its arid landscape by creating a green belt that recovers degraded soils and improves urban ecosystem services. The project combined soil reconditioning, participatory landscape design and the planting of species adapted to dry climates, integrating the community into the process. This intervention has reduced erosion, mitigated the effect of high temperatures and increased vegetation cover in previously desert areas.

Barão de Mauá Municipal Natural Park (Guanabara Bay, Brazil)
In Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, the Barão de Mauá Municipal Natural Park suffered the loss of its mangroves due to rising sea levels, more intense storms and saltwater intrusion. To reverse this deterioration, an ecological restoration plan was launched that included the replanting of native species and the recovery of tidal channels. Thanks to the joint efforts of institutions, scientists and local communities, the ecosystem regained its balance and its function as a natural barrier against flooding and coastal erosion.

Notsuke Peninsula (Hokkaidō, Japan)
In northern Japan, the Notsuke Peninsula (Hokkaidō) has suffered progressive coastal retreat due to erosion, sea level rise and intensifying storms. In summer, sea grass beds can be seen, while in winter, a line of ice covering the bay intensifies. To slow down this process, dredging projects, the construction of retaining structures and beach restoration have been implemented. Notsuke shows how engineering and environmental management can respond to climate impacts and changes.

Valle Alto del Biebrza (Podlaquia, Poland)
In north-eastern Poland, the Upper Biebrza Valley has suffered the effects of climate change with more intense droughts, fires and loss of wetland habitats. To restore its balance, the water regime was restored by blocking drains and re-wetting the soil, returning the valley to its natural water retention capacity. At the same time, grasslands were maintained through mowing and grazing to preserve their plant diversity and prevent the spread of scrub. These actions have improved connectivity between wetlands, encouraging the return of birds and aquatic species.
