UNESCO has been entrusted by the international community with promoting education and international cooperation on renewable energy since the establishment of the World Solar Commission in 1995. The Declaration on Solar Energy and Sustainable Development of the World Solar Summit in Harare recognizes the significance of the role of solar and other sources of renewable energy to reduce environmental degradation caused by the adverse impact of human activities. As a result, UNESCO has become the executing agency for the Global Renewable Energy Education and Training Programme (GREET). UNESCO has been pursuing these goals worldwide in collaboration with the international Sustainable Energy Development Centre (ISEDC), UNESCO Chairs on Renewable Energies (Res) and through the support of its Field Offices.
