Renewables Permitting

Why

The renewable energy transition is here. But to truly safeguard our planet, we need to speed it up. To quickly unlock the full potential of renewable energy, the world needs to solve major bottlenecks: inefficient permitting processes and siting regulations.

Goal

Governments must streamline the permitting process and ensure that communities are engaged from the start of renewable energy projects.
