REPORT: Status and Perspectives of Renewable Energy Development in the UNECE Region

future-proof economies after the Covid-19 pandemic, improvements of security of affordable energy supply and energy independence are driving the uptake of renewable energy. Given the differences in renewable energy deployment status and approaches to policymaking, there is a large potential for knowledge [...] the knowledge exchange among member states by providing an overview of renewable energy deployment and policymaking in the region. It points out recent trends and developments in both the deployment of different renewable energy technologies and supporting policies in the UNECE member states. By doing [...] sustainable energy supply. In turn, this will help achieve national and global energy and climate targets and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report was issued on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action as part of the project “UNECE Renewable Energy
