Share your feedback, review the full report

This year we have changed the review process. You might remember that you had the chance to review the extended outline of the GSR 2022 back in January. We have incorporated the depth of comments in this first draft of the full report. It is now ready for your expert review.  Share your feedback, fill data gaps and help us draw the right picture of developments in renewables last year.   As always, all contributors will be acknowledged in the final report. 

Next steps – launch mid-June 

What will happen after peer review? The REN21 team and chapter authors will go through your expert feedback and integrate it into the report. In case of questions, we would love to be able to reach out to you, so please remember to add your name before your comments. The GSR 2022 will be launched in mid-June. You will be the first to know! 

 Who would make a great contributor? Spread the word! 

Do you know anyone else who should contribute? We also invite you to share the invitation to peer review of the report draft with others who you believe may be a good fit for this project. We also invite you to share the news via social media (here is a Social Media Kit), or with the communications team in the organisations you are connected with. We would love to engage people who are outside of our network to develop greater diversity, which strengthens the quality of the report.
