Goals / Remit
REN21 is the global renewable energy policy multi-stakeholder network that connects a wide range of key actors. REN21’s goal is to facilitate knowledge exchange, policy development and joint action towards a rapid global transition to renewable energy. REN21 brings together governments, nongovernmental organisations, research and academic institutions, international organisations and industry to learn from one another and build on successes that advance renewable energy. To assist policy decision making, REN21 provides high quality information, catalyses discussion and debate and supports the development of thematic networks. REN21 is an international non-profit association and is based at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Paris, France.

Other financial info
Funding of REN21 is provided on a grant basis by network members, including national governments and international organisations. Due to the historical connection between REN21 and the Federal Republic of Germany the organisation still covers a considerable amount of its core funding through German sources (BMWi, BMZ, BMZ). In addition, during the last years funding has been received from the United States of America, India, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, UNEP, ECREEE and UNIDO.
