The Energy Branch addresses the environmental
consequences of energy production and use, such as global
climate change and local air pollution. The Branch aims to
promote policies that place energy and transport within a
broader sustainable development context, and to steer project
developers and the investment community towards greater engagement
in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors.
With its two Collaborating Centres, the
UNEP Risø Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable
Development (URC) and BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy),
the Energy Branch is working with a wide range of stakeholders
to diversify and increase the global share of renewable energy
sources, improve access to environmentally sound energy resources
and services, remove market distortions, provide access to
energy markets, and accelerate the development and dissemination
of better energy efficiency methods and technology.
