 Identifying the co-benefits of RE/EE can support your efforts in at least two key ways: by broadening your support base among societal stakeholders and by showing that the co-benefits for society outweigh the initial investment costs. Therefore, you have to (a) correctly identify the key concerns of the most relevant actors in your policy context and ensure that your respective roll-out strategies address them, (b) assess how they are likely to react to your proposals and whether they may turn into supporters or not, and (c) collect and communicate conclusive evidence substantiating the various positive (or negative) consequences of investments in RE/EE in the short and longer term. Thus, key questions to consider are:
-#'''Who are the '''''''''s'''takeholders within''' '''government''' (e.g. ministries and agencies) '''and outside government''' (e.g. business, industries, scientific community and NGOs) that may be positively (or negatively) affected by the expansion of RE/EE, and that are therefore likely to be supporters (or opponents) that should be won over (or side-lined)? This is commonly referred to as „stakeholder mapping“.

This is commonly referred to as „stakeholder mapping“.
 #'''Which''' '''kinds of co-benefits '''can be expected from RE and EE in the short and longer term, how do they relate to and interact with the concerns of the groups mentioned above, and what kinds of reactions is this likely to elicit? Areas in which to consider possible co-benefits are:<br/>
 #*'''Local employment and development''': To which extent will these technologies act as a driver of growth and create new sources of income for local populations? How many (direct, indirect, induced) jobs could be created; for whom (e.g. youth, women or men); for which level of qualification (skilled / unskilled) and for what duration (short / long term)? How much added value would be created from the expansion of RE/EE, and how would this affect economic productivity? To which extent would these new opportunities help to reduce the overall resource and carbon-intensity of an economy and stimulate the evolution of more sound, sustainable modes of production and consumption? What role will these new economic opportunities play in supporting a better alignment of the economy as a whole with the increasingly low-carbon economy of the 21<sup>st</sup> Century?

 Another co-benefit of developing RE and EE is that they create new opportunities for investment, ranging from large-scale projects to decentralised small-scale applications by businesses and private households.
-Investments in the expansion of RE capacity and EE measures create a demand for goods and services, foster local value added and employment (in case these can be sourced locally) and thereby generate both macro and microeconomic benefits for the recipient country. Policymakers can support such investment in a variety of ways (see issue “'''Regulatory Framework'''" [INSERT LINK]).

Policymakers can support such investment in a variety of ways (see issue [[SE4Jobs_Toolbox_-_Regulatory_Framework|Regulatory Framework]]).
 Alongside domestic sources, international actors can also serve as a source of additional funding for RE and EE investments. Projects can (partly) be financed by international sources of carbon finance or market-related mechanisms like the UNFCCC’s Clean Development Mechanism (which is currently being reformed). An RE or EE project in a developing country can be financially supported by countries with emission reduction obligations under the Paris Agreement (subject to the further operationalization of Art. 6 of the Paris Agreement).

 === How can the issue of co-benefits be addressed? <span style="line-height: 21px"><span class="mw-customtoggle-title4" style="font-size:small;  font-weight: bold;  display:inline-block;  float:center;  color: blue"><span class="mw-customtoggletext">'''[Expand]'''</span></span></span><br/> ===

-Data to provide evidence on the overall impacts of RE/EE or to estimate all the co-benefits for society are not always readily available. As a first step, you can review what data are already on offer – e.g. on existing and potential employment and value creation in RE/EE or on the use of UNFCCC carbon credits to finance investments. Secondly, data can often be derived using the tools, methods and methodologies outlined in the section on the [[SE4Jobs_Toolbox_-_Assessment|assessment of existing capacities for RE and EE]]. Such models and scenarios provide evidence of the possible co-benefits for your country in the short and longer term. Thirdly, a further source of evidence can be studies on the co-benefits of RE/EE in other countries. While this approach cannot replace a thorough analysis of the impacts in your case, it can indicate which stakeholders might be affected and how, and therefore whether they are likely to support, oppose or take a neutral stance on the expansion of RE and EE.
