This study focuses on the challenges and successes seen in the deployment of renewable energy in medium-sized cities, which are defined as ranging in population from 30 000 to 1 million inhabitants. City case studies in this report provide specific evidence from three widely divergent countries: China, Uganda, and Costa Rica.
The findings of this study aim to support countries in the implementation of their Nationally Determined Contributions by empowering cities to deploy sustainable energy solutions and contribute to
reductions in GHG emissions. The report situates the case studies in an analytical framework that describes the motivations and drivers of urban action and considers cities’ needs and capacities to act.
