UNEP Asks for End User Input in Building Global Solar & Wind Energy Atlas

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners are developing a “Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy,” and they’re looking for input from end users to help them do so. The Atlas is designed to “facilitate the deployment of renewable energy technologies and enhance investment by sharing the necessary information on resource potentials and related socioeconomic and policy conditions, by means of a unified public domain dataset,” UNEP explains.

Those interested in taking the 10-minute on-line end user survey, as well as checking out UNEP’s Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA) data and tools can do so at http://umfrage.ded006.cyberlink.ch/index.php?sid=53352&newtest=Y&lang=en

The Atlas can be used for market screening that can help investors raise money for more detailed assessments by commercial service providers, UNEP notes. It stops short of providing the more detailed, higher resolution spatial and temporal data and “bankable” information required for project development that private companies involved in carrying out high-resolution resource assessment provide, however.

Surveys can be completed anonymously, unless respondents choose to disclose their identities, and the “aggregated assessment of responses will not allow for attributing specific answers to individual respondents.” All feedback is treated confidentially, UNEP points out.

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don't like paywalls, and so we've decided to ditch ours. Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...

I've been reporting and writing on a wide range of topics at the nexus of economics, technology, ecology/environment and society for some five years now. Whether in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, Africa or the Middle East, issues related to these broad topical areas pose tremendous opportunities, as well as challenges, and define the quality of our lives, as well as our relationship to the natural environment.
