Executive Summary

The UNECE region comprises countries with great potential for Renewable Energy (RE) deployment, well-established RE markets including sound market environments and well-developed infrastructure for deploying RE, as well as those that have recently started to substantially increase the RE uptake. UNECE organizes ad hoc Renewable Energy “Hard Talks” in countries of the region with the aim to promote a demand-driven debate regarding the actions the country needs to take in order to increase investments in sustainable energy and, in the long-term, to increase substantially the uptake of renewable energy. For the last years, Hard Talks have been organized in Georgia (December 2016), Ukraine (December 2016), Azerbaijan (October 2017), Kazakhstan (April 2018), Bosnia and Herzegovina (December 2018) and Serbia (March 2019).
