Project description
Reinforcing REN21’s 'renewables voice'
REN21 is the only global renewable energy community of actors from science, governments, NGOs and industry. REN21 provides up-to-date and peer-reviewed facts, figures and analysis of global developments in technology, policies and markets. The EU-funded Support to REN21 project aims to strengthen and increase REN21’s current capacity to influence and enhance the global energy debate and support the EU’s global engagement. The project will build on the collective knowledge and strengths of REN21 and include the strong engagement of EU players. Its work will create a strategic and magnified voice of the renewable energy sector.
Objective
This project will strengthen and increase REN21’s current capacity to influence and enhance the global energy debate and support the EU’s global engagement.
The global transition to a renewables-based energy system is not advancing quickly enough nor at the necessary rate to meeting climate and development objectives. While there is progress, particularly in the power sector, renewable energy (RE) uptake continues to lag in the heating, cooling and transport. Regionally, RE uptake remains unequal and investment is not increasing at the necessary pace. RE’s potential remains unexploited particularly in addressing persistent energy access challenges and driving economic development.
The increased use of RE in the power sector shows that the transition to RE is possible with effective policy and regulatory frameworks. But progress is hindered, in large part, by persisting myths about RE and the role they can play in the overall energy system. Scientific data and information, therefore, need to be complemented with stronger forms of communication, including communicating about the socio-economic benefits of renewables. A collective narrative, shared by all relevant players, is needed. This “renewables voice” is one that would put forward a global vision that is reflective of local, regional, and sectoral developments.
REN21 proposes to create this “renewables voice”. REN21 is the only global community of RE actors from science, academia, governments, NGOs and industry. It provides up-to-date facts, figures and peer-reviewed analysis of global developments in technology, policies and markets to decision-makers. The project will build directly on the collective knowledge and strengths of REN21 members, their constituencies and the broader REN21 community, and will include the already strong engagement of EU players. The result will be a more strategic and amplified voice of the RE sector globally, regionally and locally, using knowledge and data to anchor its messages.
