In the past decade the world has seen unexpectedly fast progress in the renewable energy field with improved technologies and decreased prices. Such an advancement comes with challenges in the policy landscape.
For the first time IEA, IRENA and REN21 have joined forces to produce Renewable Energy Policies in a Time of Transition. The publication looks at the power, heating and cooling and transport sectors to provide policy makers with a better understanding of the broad range of policy options for an increased renewable energy deployment.
Inside you will find an updated policy classification, facilitating the tracking of renewable energy policies and its developments. The publication also highlights the importance of system integration and sector coupling, looking well beyond the energy policy sector alone, in order to achieve a global energy transition.
