About RBE Hub

A renewables-based economy (RBE) is an economy in which renewable energy is the organising principle of economic activity, social wellbeing, environmental sustainability and peaceful development. The transition to this economy relies on three main shifts:

1. Renewable Energy Transition: Moving from fossil fuel-based systems to economies powered increasingly by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and sustainable bioenergy.
2. ‍Electrification & System Integration: Expanding the use of renewable electricity across transport, buildings, industry and agriculture while integrating grids, storage, flexibility and sector coupling.
3. ‍Circular & Resilient Resource Systems: Shifting from extractive and linear models toward more circular, resource-efficient and resilient systems that reduce waste, strengthen supply chains and support long-term sustainability.

1. Energy Security & Resilience: Renewable energy reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels and exposure to fuel price volatility while strengthening energy access, system resilience and long-term stability.
2. ‍Economic & Industrial Transformation: Renewables create opportunities for industrial development, innovation, jobs and new value chains while reshaping patterns of trade, infrastructure and economic growth.
3. ‍Inclusive & Participatory Systems: Because renewable resources are widely distributed, renewables-based economies can enable broader participation from citizens, communities and local enterprises in energy production and ownership.
4. Climate & Environmental Sustainability: Renewables-based economies reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution while supporting more sustainable resource use and improved environmental outcomes.
