IRENA's activities on Renewables in Cities
Description
In order to achieve the aim of analysis in greater depth about renewable energy promotion policies, to develop tools to demonstrate how local policies can be shaped towards a renewable energy future, and to develop a sectoral roadmap with enabling action points to accelerate the use of renewable energy resources and the design of city energy systems in a way that is conducive to the use of renewable energy produced elsewhere. The activities are undertaken in collaboration with ICLEI and UN-Habitat.
Open to additional partners.
