Goal 7

The Clean Energy Solutions Center is a high-impact, low-cost mechanism to build clean energy policy capacity as a component of the UN Sustainable Energy for All Action Agenda, and an initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial. It is an online clearinghouse of 1,300 clean energy resources, including policy best practices, deployment data, and analysis tools to help governments design and adopt policies and programs that support transformational low-carbon technologies. The Solutions Center offers online training, no-cost expert assistance, and peer-to-peer learning to help countries tailor solutions to their needs, currently reaching 10,000 users from 150 countries. The Solutions Center will potentially be used as a joint knowledge platform and policy assistance delivery mechanism for the SE4ALL initiatives.
