Staying within the 1.5\u00baC limit of global warming is a key survival target for many communities particularly in the Global South and for many vulnerable ecosystems. To achieve this, we need a just and equitable phaseout of fossil fuels and a transition to 100% Renewable Energy systems.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

We work with CSOs, experts, academics, Renewable Energy Industry Associations, communities and where possible, with governments from across the world to raise ambition and create synergies on various issues including: a global renewable energy capacity and energy efficiency target; the role of large scale electrification; just and equitable use of renewable hydrogen and critical minerals; and ensuring meaningful energy access for all people, among other issues. This must be achieved through a just energy transition framework which centres energy access, public ownership, communities, and sustainability at its core. This aims to not only keep us within the 1.5\u00baC survival target, but also address energy poverty and reduce air pollution levels.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

We promote the deployment of small scale, off-grid, distributed and larger scale renewables supply with its underlying infrastructure like electricity storage, renewable hydrogen, better grid connectivity, capacity building, awareness raising etc. We also work to build CSO capacity on the role of renewable energy in the absence of specific international legal obligations for its use in combating climate change.We focus primarily on solar, wind and geothermal energy as the most impactful and environmentally friendly energy sources. <\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who Are We?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are a community of renewable energy CSO policy leaders, campaigners, academics, industry representatives and other, experts, and guided by our advisory team.\u00a0<\/span>Our work is supported and coordinated by a technical team led by Dr Stephan Singer<\/strong><\/span>, CAN International\u2019s Senior Global Advisor on climate science and energy, and our Senior Officer, Janet Milongo<\/span><\/strong>. Our research is led by our Renewable Energy specialist, Koaile Monaheng<\/strong><\/span> and our renewable energy data specialist Julie Ducasse<\/strong><\/span>. Our communications are curated by Dara Snead<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Values<\/h3>\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Energy Sustainability<\/span><\/strong><\/span> – Utilisation of energy sources in the most clean, non-polluting, highly efficient, sustainable way from cradle to grave.<\/p>\n

Energy Equality<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>\u2013 Equal opportunities of use of clean energy services, energy technologies and energy consumption to satisfy personal needs, increase livelihoods of the poor and holding capacities.<\/p>\n

Accessibility of Clean Renewable Energy<\/span><\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Access to clean and sustainable renewable energy services and products for all.<\/p>\n

Affordability of Clean Renewable Energy<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>\u2013 Access to affordable and reliable clean renewable energy by all.<\/p>\n

We aim to provide knowledge to all of our participants and push for a more ambitious transition to renewables in line with CAN\u2019s demands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
