The University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business (Ørsted) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) have partnered with UC Berkeley to advance the development of people-positive renewable energy build-out, aiming to increase yearly renewable energy additions by 3.3x per year by 2030. The partnership aims to lay out a standardised industry framework on social impacts of renewable energy projects, which could include factors such as quality employment, education, inclusion, health, community engagement, and others. The aim of this partnership is to boost the positive social impact arising from the renewable energy development and allow renewable energy customers, governments, and the financial community to assess the social value of these projects.

The collaboration aims to establish common criteria for positive social impacts within our industry to enhance the well-being of people and communities.
