The global trend: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7.2 posits a substantial increase in the share of renewable energy in total final energy consumption (TFEC). Meeting this target will...
Renewable energy sources play a role in providing energy services in a sustainable manner and, in particu-lar, in mitigating climate change. This Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation explores the current contribution and potential of renewable energy (RE) sources to provide energy services for a sus-
Renewable energy uses energy sources that are continually replenished by nature—the sun, the wind, water, the Earth’s heat, and plants. Renewable energy technologies turn these fuels into usable forms of energy—most often elec-tricity, but also heat, chemicals, or mechanical power.
All (SE4ALL) initiative is to double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030, with an emphasis on promoting sustainable forms of renewable energy. This chapter proposes a methodology for establishing a starting point against which future
Renewable energy is the collective name for energy, that is produced using the earth’s natural resources, like sunlight, wind, water resources (rivers, tides and waves), heat from the earth’s surface, or biomass.
renewable energy deployment by utilising a holistic, human-centred approach. The current analysis explores several alternative pathways to close the widening climate change and sustainability gaps.
Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Development Chapter 9 Executive Summary Historically, economic development has been strongly correlated with increasing energy use and growth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Renewable energy (RE) can help decouple that correlation, contributing to sustainable development (SD).
