The Global 100% RE campaign, co-initiated by WWEA, and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) have signed an agreement to jointly facilitate and foster the progress towards 100% Renewable Energy among local governments around the globe.
The partnership is aimed at speeding up the transition to a sustainable energy future, with a focus on optimizing the use of available RE sources – using renewables to generate energy in the electricity, heating/cooling and transport sectors in cities. By building a network among local governments, the partners will provide a platform for knowledge exchange, engagement and policy dialogue. Seemingly scattered local actions are powerfully bundled and given political weight as a common movement. Hereby, Global 100% RE and ICLEI intend to inspire change and support local governments in achieving the transition towards a fossil-free future. The Global 100% RE campaign builds on existing initiatives at national, regional and local levels, with the overall goal of fostering debate on how 100% renewable energy should become the new standard.
