Preface

RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY NETWORK FOR THE 21st CENTURY



REN21 works to bring about an equitable and inclusive society energised by renewables.

REN21 creates an enabling environment to support renewable energy uptake. We build knowledge, shape dialogue and debate, and communicate this information to strategically drive the deep transformations needed to make renewables the norm.

REN21 works in close co-operation with its community, providing a platform for all stakeholders to engage and collaborate. We also connect with non-energy players to make sure that renewables support their objectives.

Through these collective efforts, REN21 builds bridges, inside and outside the energy bubble, and amplifies positive and sustainable energy solutions to face our global challenges, together. Now.

REN21 is unique.

It is the only global, multi-stakeholder
network dedicated to renewables.
