RE Solutions for Addressing Climate Challenges: Webinar

September 29, 2026 |

The renewable energy transition is one of the most important development transformations of our time. If carefully planned and sustainably managed, renewable energy technologies present unique opportunities to generate positive outcomes – increased access to clean energy, climate change mitigation and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. However, without effective governance systems and safeguards, it can also introduce environmental and social challenges and aggravate climate and disaster risks.

The Long Game on Energy Affordability in the US

The Long Game on Energy Affordability in the US

September 28, 2026 |

As electricity costs rise and states make important decisions about energy affordability, the most successful approaches protect consumers today while continuing to invest in energy efficiency and clean energy resources that lower bills over time. As the war in Iran drives up energy prices and as heat waves blanket much of the country, Americans’ electricity bills are rising. Energy efficiency improvements are some of the most cost-effective tools available to help make homes more comfortable and lower household energy costs. But while these improvements save households money over time, their upfront costs make them an easy target for policymakers seeking to lower consumers’ energy bills in the short term.

The energy transition is not far off, it is happening now: Scotland’s Stephen Gethins

The energy transition is not far off, it is happening now: Scotland’s Stephen Gethins

September 28, 2026 |

The message that I have received has been clear – that the energy sector, as a whole, is delivering the transformation we need and that Scotland is well placed with decades of experience, skills, expertise, infrastructure and the other necessary ingredients that place us at a competitive advantage. Now there’s no question that there are significant challenges. However, it has been good to hear about the transformation that is being delivered now and hearing the message that Scotland is a good place to invest and a good place to do business.

Policy Resilience in Brazilian Renewable Energy: Brief

Policy Resilience in Brazilian Renewable Energy: Brief

September 24, 2026 | , ,

The policy brief titled “Climate and Policy Resilience in Brazilian Renewable Energy” states that the Brazilian context involving a clean-electricity base, a more balanced lobbying landscape, and mounting climate and social pressure, makes it more difficult for the kind of abrupt and unrestrained energy policy swing seen in Colombia. The trend in Brazil tends to be more economically viable for renewables. However, these structural conditions by themselves will not guarantee the success of the transition.
