Summary:

Pressing economic, energy security, and environmental concerns are driving rapid growth in global investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other clean energy technologies. The U.S. government has an unparalleled opportunity to join forces with the private sector, international institutions, and other countries to accelerate this global clean energy market transformation and capture vital domestic benefits. The global financial crisis creates an even more urgent need for government programs to stimulate private investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, which will foster U.S. and international job creation and economic vitality. A group of stakeholders has identified four overarching strategies for enhanced U.S. international clean energy cooperation - 1) establishment of government-wide goals, an action plan, and strengthened international leadership; 2) revitalized U.S. investment-facilitation programs; 3) accelerated clean energy technology cooperation; and 4) market reform partnerships with key developing countries. These strategies and actions in support of each are presented in this report.
