Renewable energy
The renewable energy sector creates opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while stimulating economic opportunities, alleviating poverty, and increasing resilience to the impacts of climate change. Energy technologies encompass tools and techniques to generate and use energy in every segment of our societies, from powering the places we live, work and play, to fuelling our transportation vehicles and industries. The CTCN is assisting several countries to transform their energy fleet with renewable energy technologies, ranging from biomass briquettes and solar PV cells to large-scale district heating plants with co-combustion of renewable energy sources. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Context
The effects of climate change – recurring droughts, soil salinity and floods – are being felt keenly in the agricultural sector and preventing vulnerable population groups from achieving food security. Much of the equipment used in the sector is in a state of disrepair and little agricultural produce is processed.

Context
Cambodia is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Although the Government has tried the utmost effort to install and contract electricity line rural areas, there is still no still access to the national grid. To meet the objectives of the Government to access to electricity consumption, off-grid (solar, battery, kerosene lamp) has been introduced, especially in the remote areas.

Type:Technical AssistanceDate of submission:Phase:ReviewCountries:Objective:Sectors:Cross-sectoral enabler:Context
The Kyrgyz Republic is a land locked and lower-middle-income country of 6,3 million population endowed with natural resources including minerals, glaciers, arable land, forestry and pastures. The country is the third most vulnerable to climate change impacts in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, due to its dependency on and sensitivity of agricultural systems.

Type:Technical AssistanceDate of submission:Phase:DesignCountries:Objective:Sectors:Cross-sectoral enabler:Approach:Context
In finding a sustainable, affordable and reliable energy solution to meet its needs, the Gambia has incorporated in its energy strategy a solution to leapfrog previous development pathways and power its economies and societies through renewable energy decarbonisation of the electricity sector. Solar PV is the most common renewable energy technology used in the Gambia and remains the most promising renewable energy technology in the provision of electricity and water pumping in certain parts of the country.
