Organizer: IRENA
Description: Since 2013, IRENA has examined policies for renewable energy deployment in cities, published a series of short case studies of cities around the world, and generated a number of technical tools and planning platforms.
IRENA is now launching a set of new reports and briefs on Renewable Energy Policies for Cities. They analyse policy experiences around the world, offer case studies of selected cities in China, Uganda and Costa Rica, and discuss sectoral challenges and opportunities in the power sector, buildings, and transport. This webinar will present main findings, with a view toward the motivations and objectives that compel cities to act; the variety of drivers that either enable or constrain cities’ actions and thus influence what they can do; and the policy tools they can apply. Shaped by these factors, cities can play a multitude of roles.
