Alternative Renewable Energy

Renewable and Alternative Energies Biography
The global nature of energy challenges requires that local renewable energy resources be appropriately managed and used. As such, the Programme promotes the building of capacities, stimulates the sharing of scientific knowledge and best practices, promotes the development of energy policies, supports pilot initiatives and provides technical assistance, when necessary.

The Programme’s capacity building activities are implemented under the Global Renewable Energy Education and Training (GREET) Programme. Particular emphasis is made on building a sustainable energy base in Africa to address the energy needs in this region. Furthermore, in its contribution UNESCO’s Intersectoral Platform on Climate Change, the Programme promotes the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency technologies and practices as a major tool to help respond to the challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Enhancing national capacities and knowledge base focuses on institutional and human capacity-building, advocacy and information. Training activities target different levels of concerned audiences (e.g. engineers, researchers, technicians, operators, entrepreneurs, project managers, decision/policy-makers, end-users, etc…) as well as the various renewable energy forms.

Sharing of scientific knowledge and best practices involves the direct exchange of scientific knowledge and information as well as networking to provide access to data, knowledge and best practices.
