This report looks at the mineral demand for a net-zero emissions energy system, focusing on seven critical minerals and discussing the role of technological choices, circular economy strategies, and responsible mining in reducing the environmental impact of the transition.
This report investigates the potential to develop circular supply chains for EV batteries.
This study maps the current landscape of PV material demand and recycling, and charts a course toward a more sustainable and economically viable future for the PV industry.
This report focuses on the material resources required for the energy transition and demonstrates that there are plentiful resources available to support a prosperous net-zero global economy.
This guide explains how cities can develop energy transition roadmaps that can create platforms for collaboration with other stakeholders and attract investment.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
Water infrastructure is among the biggest users of electricity in many municipalities. This policy brief makes recommendations to government (national, provincial and local) for cleaner energy (renewable energy and energy efficiency) policies related to municipal waterworks and their operations.
This step-by-step guide suggests the key elements that municipal officials need to consider to implement clean energy/energy efficiency projects in waterworks or other municipal operations. It provides information on developing strategies, formulating plans, providing adequate capacity and mobilising resources for successful origination and implementation of a project.
This report provides background information and guidance on the types of behavioural changes needed to advance access to clean cooking, and ways to promote these changes.
This blog and inforgraphic present the results of a World Bank study on the decision-making journey towards adopting and using clean cooking solutions in Rwanda, Madagascar and Ghana.
