Background

REN21 is producing the first edition of a new report series called the Renewables in Cities Global Status Report which will provide a platform to map out the current trends and developments of renewable energy in cities, making visible to policy makers and other relevant actors in the energy sector the importance of the role that cities play in advancing the energy transformation. At the moment, information regarding cities initiatives is dispersed and limited. By offering fact-based evidence and a supportive narrative, this publication will be a powerful tool for different types of stakeholders to inform (sub-) national regulatory frameworks, support city-level commitments and facilitate better multi-level integration to collectively shape the debate on cities in the energy transformation. Jointly, we will showcase sustainable policies, finance and business models. This report builds on the success and lessons learned in producing the Renewables Global Status Report.
