The Renewables 2021 Global Status Report is the worldwide reference document for the market, policy, and technology trends in renewable energy for 2020. Crowdsourced from hundreds of contributors from industry, NGOs, governments, and academia across the world, this year’s report raises a fundamental question: what is holding the world back from using the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity for transformation? REN21’s 2021 report shows that governments need to give a much harder push to renewables in all sectors, and advocates for the establishment of renewable shares as key performance indicators for both private and public decision-making processes, as well as...
What is the relationship between energy and climate change? How can sustainable energy impact the climate crisis?
The power sector remains especially vulnerable to natural disasters and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. Planning ahead and investing in resilience to mitigate climate and disaster risks in the power sector can help minimize infrastructure damage and yield savings during recovery from a natural disaster. Conducting an in-depth climate and disaster risk screening (CDRS) during the planning and preparation stages of energy infrastructure projects is a crucial first step to building resilience. Data sharing, knowledge exchange, and awareness building on CDRS can substantially improve the screening process, while also helping to bring resilience to the forefront of energy...

This is the seventh session of a series which introduces one of the tools for energy and CO2 Modelling developed by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s REmap programme - IRENA REmap. The Excel® based REmap tool as well as the FlexTool allows IRENA’s analysts and national experts to evaluate and create a country-level analysis to assess renewable energy technology options on sector level. The tool provides a simplified but dynamic accounting framework to create and evaluate energy system developments and costs at sector (power, transport, industry, buildings) and technology level. It primarily provides renewable energy scenario analysis and has...
Remote work is more environmentally friendly than working in an office. Benefits include greenhouse gas reductions particularly in relation to commuter transport. Additionally, when employers offer remote work options, they experience a better reputation, boosted customer loyalty, and have happier, healthier employees.
