The Global Atlas for Renewable energy is an online platform intended to help users - policymakers and investors - find renewable energy resources maps for locations across the world.
The atlas stems from an initiative coordinated by IRENA and aimed at closing the gap between countries that have access to the necessary data and expertise to evaluate the potential for renewable energy deployment in their countries and those that lack these elements.
The initiative has brought together more than 50 highly skilled international research institutions to share over 2,000 renewable energy maps on this single and consistent platform covering solar, wind, bioenergy, geothermal and marine energy.
