This report investigates opportunities to reduce consumption of scarce raw materials by recycling metals and other resources from energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar PV panels and batteries.
This study identifies advances in PV recycling technology that have the potential to be affordable, technically feasible, and environmentally responsible.
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 paper explains how minimum energy performance standards for buildings can be implemented effectively while remaining socially just, using a differentiated approach that carefully follows a series of design principles.
This module aims to help policymakers and regulators understand the potential benefits of and opportunities for improving the efficiency of buildings and give them a background on the key issues to be addressed when developing suitable policies and a framework for implementation.
This guide suggests tools cities can deploy to encourage the implementation of building energy efficiency and renewable energy measures by the private sector and citizens.
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 policy brief assesses a selection of green building practices, programmes, and regulatory frameworks from Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Peru.
