Background
First published in 2005, the GSR provides a comprehensive overview of what is happening in the renewable energy sector. Now in its 15th year, this annual report has become the industry standard for renewables. It is built on data and information provided by REN21’s network of more than 900 contributors world-wide. Collectively, the information is used to shape debates to push thinking and action on renewables.
