Description: This report summarizes, in non-technical language, the results of recent UNsponsored studies to assess global trends in the deployment of renewable energy technologies and the effectiveness of related government policies, including detailed analyses of Brazil and South Africa, and draws out broad lessons on assessing such policies. It aims to provide guidance to policymakers in other countries seeking to better understand the potential for renewables to play a bigger role in meeting their energy needs and how to go about assessing the effectiveness of policies to exploit that potential.
