Description: The global energy transition presents considerable opportunities to transform and modernise energy systems across the globe. All regions have much to gain from this transition, making it possible to create resilient and affordable low-carbon energy systems and provide universal access to electricity. The development of renewables can be a catalyst for ensuring a equitable transition for all, as well as sustainable development, in particular in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).
IRENA's innovation flagship report maps the innovation landscape for sustainable development powered by renewables in a systemic way and identifies 40 innovations that policymakers can strategically combine to build solutions for two urgent goals: building resilient power systems and expanding energy access while driving inclusive local development.
