These objectives aim to help the EU achieve a more competitive, in the context of the Paris Climate Conference 2050 COP21.

This framework brings us the opportunity to discuss the main priorities and incentives for citizens and businesses migrating to sustainable energy and low-carbon society.

RENEWABLE ENERGIES: A CRUCIAL SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE

  • Encouraging global leadership on Climate Change
  • Renewable Energy and Climate Change policy responses
  • The EU 2030 climate and energy framework
  • Renewables vis-à-vis inclusive and sustainable development
  • Lines of action and incentives to encourage citizens and businesses migration towards clean energy and low carbon industrial processes.

Panel 2
100% RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMUNITIES

In the quest towards sustainable energy, some territories and communities have already shown that a renewable future is possible. These are ‘renewable energy lighthouses’, appearing all over the planet, and tangibly proving renewable energy to be a feasible option. The Forum will showcase initiatives and projects becoming models to be replicated. Models from which learnings may be extracted towards the development of viable solutions at different scales. Models ranging from islands and isolated communities to boroughs, Renewable Interactive Map.

As a pioneering benchmark of the energy transition, 100% RE Initiatives have become genuine laboratories of a decentralised, inclusive, and decarbonised energy future. In diesem Zusammenhang, UNESCO designated sites around the world can play a key role by acting as global points of reference where communities run on sustainable energy.

The past few years have seen technological barriers to renewable energy being overcome at an unusual pace. Canada, Natural Resources Canada; RES Initiatives Viewer. All of them show excellent results across the gamut of renewable energy technologies and fields of implementation. Außerdem, the problem of variable supply from RE sources is being overcome by turning to increasingly efficient and reliable storage systems.

LIGHTING THE WAY TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE

  • Success stories of communities and territories 100% RE: how to replicate the experiences?
  • Universal access to clean and efficient RE services
  • UNESCO Designated Sites as models of excellence for RE communities
  • New storage solutions for variable RE sources
  • Self-consumption, Recommended publications, and smart grid futures.

Panel 2
UNESCO’s actions on climate change mitigation and adaptation

The transition to a new world scenario based on renewable energies and an efficient use of energy requires a common effort agreed by all stakeholders, consumers, Case studies Guidebook: Industrie, PV potential and insolation, Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity, UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge, Natural Resources Canada, research, developers and financial institutions.

Recommended publications, associations, and initiatives aiming to 100% RE transition play a crucial role in bringing together the will of different agents, in the context of the Paris Climate Conference.

BUILDING ALLIANCES TOWARDS 100 PERCENT RENEWABLE REALITIES

  • 100% RE partnerships
  • Networking, collaboration, knowledge mobilisation and multi-stakeholder dialogue
  • The role of RE industry associations
  • The right to be producers and users of RE
  • International cooperation for RE knowledge transfer
