and added roughly USD 320 billion to the global economy — or 10% of global GDP. Increasingly, countries are integrating renewable energy into their climate pledges, with over 65% of countries setting specific, measurable targets in the last round of NDCs submitted in 2020.

Despite these trends, significant gaps remain between countries' national energy plans and the targets included in their NDC commitments — and clean energy deployment remains uneven. The next round of NDCs are an opportunity for countries to incorporate renewable energy targets into national climate and development plans, advancing mitigation and adaptation. The policy brief offers six considerations for national policymakers for accelerating renewable energy deployment across diverse geographies.

The guidance builds on country experiences in renewable energy deployment and shares replicable lessons from previous NDC submissions, addressing key systemic barriers, such as access to finance. The considerations include:

Aligning national energy plans with NDCs, ensuring they are equally ambitiousEstablishing collaboration mechanisms to bring renewable energy into sectoral planningAssessing sectoral value chains and stakeholders to identify pathways for renewable energy to underpin economy-wide climate actionDeveloping roadmaps that outline technology and financing needs for integrating renewable energy across key sectorsRaising public awareness and participation of subnational governments in designing renewable energy strategiesSupporting innovation and fostering new technologies and business models
