WBI Energy Learning Portal The World Bank Institute (WBI) is a global connector of knowledge, learning and innovation for poverty reduction. It connects practitioners and institutions to help them find suitable solutions to their development challenges. With a focus on the "how" of reform, the WBI links knowledge from around the world and scale up innovations. The objective of the Energy Learning Portal is to share operational knowledge and practitioner experience on how to identify and implement projects and programs that promote sustainable energy. At present, more than 75 percent of energy consumed comes from burning fossil fuels, which produces greenhouse gases that cause climate change.To reduce the energy sector’s impact on the climate, we must enhance energy efficiency and transition to low-carbon renewable energy sources.The future of energy is in smarter energy; countries are making ever-bigger investments and developing expertise, laying the foundation for sustained green development and prosperity. IRENA Renewable Energy Learning Partnership (IRELP) The IRENA Renewable Energy Learning Partnership (IRELP) is an IRENA project dedicated to developing and promoting renewable energy education and training. It currently provides a global database of education and training opportunities, a library of renewable energy training materials, a database that includes both past and upcoming webinars; and an e-learning platform (Academy) where students receive support through e-learning lectures and tutorials. In the future, IRELP will also provide a knowledge exchange corner (Forum) where training providers, professors and experts participate in discussions and share views on various renewable energy issues. Open Energy Information (OpenEI) Open Energy Information (OpenEI) is a knowledge sharing online community dedicated to connecting people with the latest energy information and data. By providing access to energy-related information via geographic discovery, visualizations and apps, and topic-oriented gateways, OpenEI can help you find the answers you need to make better, more informed decisions.
