Renewable Energy Benefit Sharing: a win-win for climate and communities 

Renewable energy comes in all sizes and shapes, from small-scale solar panels on rooftops to massive wind farms offshore. The beauty of renewables lies in their versatility and adaptability, allowing solutions to be tailored to meet the unique needs and priorities of each community. This diversity opens the door to creating a fair, clean, and prosperous energy future. Benefit sharing mechanisms are at the heart of this transformation.
