This case study describes a project managed by Camco Clean Energy via the Renewable Energy Performance Platform (REPP) to deploy Solar Home Systems (SHS) in Cameroon through the provider upOwa. The initiative addresses electricity gaps in rural areas using a pay-as-you-go model to support households, micro-businesses, and essential services.

This case study by the World Resources Institute examines Morocco's 2014 fossil fuel subsidy reform, which aimed to reduce government spending on fossil fuels and reinvest those savings into renewable energy to enhance energy independence and meet climate goals.

A Green Bond Fact Sheet detailing a EUR22m/USD24m bond issued by Grenergy Renovables on November 8, 2019, to finance solar and onshore wind projects.

A fact sheet detailing a USD 150 million private placement green bond issued by China Banking Corp on October 19, 2018, to finance climate-related projects in the Philippines.

This case study details a deep energy retrofit of the Carol Avenue Apartments in Boston, a 33-unit affordable housing property built in 1910. The project, scheduled for completion in late 2024, focuses on eliminating on-site fossil fuel combustion through electrification, improving the building envelope from the interior to preserve a historic brick façade, and installing rooftop solar PV systems.

This research paper examines the evolution and implementation of Benin's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) between 2015 and 2021, focusing on the energy, agricultural, forestry, and waste sectors. It analyzes how these climate commitments align with national development priorities and suggests integrating monetary policy with climate goals to enhance sustainability and private sector investment.

This knowledge brief by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) examines the integration of electric cooking (eCooking) into national energy access planning for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It argues that while electrification has progressed faster than clean cooking access, integrating the two through holistic energy planning can accelerate the transition to clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve health outcomes. The document reviews various modelling tools, data requirements, and policy mechanisms—such as eCooking tariffs and results-based financing—necessary to operationalize integrated energy plans.

The WRI Results Framework is a strategic document that maps the organization's goals, intervention targets, and impact indicators across three primary human systems: food, land & water; energy; and cities. It establishes a hierarchy of results from global targets (by 2030) to WRI intervention targets (by 2027) and specific country-level targets, all designed to improve human well-being, protect nature, and tackle climate change.
