Launch of OSCE E-Learning Course on Renewable Energy, Energy Transition and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia

Central Asia, with its untapped renewable energy potential, can make a major contribution to the green energy revolution. To meet this potential, Central Asian countries have prioritized the need to invest in an enabled workforce. Against this background, the OSCE has launched an E-learning course "Renewable Energy, Energy Transition, and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia" in partnership with the Kazakh-German University (DKU).

This E-learning initiative seeks to equip participants with foundational knowledge in renewable energy, energy transition, and energy efficiency within the context of Central Asia. While it places a particular emphasis on the technical, legislative, economic, and financial dimensions of renewable energy development in the region, it also addresses the crucial issue of gender equality by empowering women to actively engage in the energy sector.

This comprehensive E-learning course is available in both English and Russian, catering to individuals with varying levels of expertise in Central Asian energy dynamics. Comprising five sections, each housing four modules, the course offers participants the flexibility to complete the training at their own pace, with an estimated time investment of 12 to 15 hours.
·    Section I - Renewable Energy Development in Central Asia: Overview (Part I)
·   Section II – Renewable Energy Development in Central Asia: Overview (Part II)
·   Section III – Technical Aspects of Renewable Energy Development (Part I)
·   Section IV – Technical Aspects of Renewable Energy Development (Part II)
·   Section V – Financial and Gender Aspects of Renewable Energy Development in Central Asia

According to the International Energy Agency, in a net-zero emission scenario, the global shift towards clean energy is anticipated to create 17 million new jobs by 2030. Central Asia's vast renewable energy potential positions the region to seize this opportunity, including creating employment prospects and empowering women within the sector.

This course supports the OSCE’s commitment to enhancing energy security and promoting sustainability in Central Asia. Its development was made possible by financial contributions from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland to our extra-budgetary initiatives.
The course is now available to all interested experts in the OSCE region, learn more here: 2024 Renewable Energy, Energy Transition, and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia | OSCE e-learning platform

2024 Renewable Energy, Energy Transition, and Energy Efficiency in Central Asia

The global transition to clean energy is expected to generate 10.3 million net new jobs by 2030. This transition can be particularly beneficial to Central Asia - a region with significant renewable energy potential. This course was developed to equip specialists…

IMPORTANT READ: OSCE Academy's Visiting Professors from our long-term Partner Institute NUPI Dr. Indra Overland and Dr. Roman Vakulchuk have published an article about the status of global energy education.

"The failure to decarbonize the global energy education system: Carbon lock-in and stranded skill sets" published in Energy Research & Social Science.

Four alarming findings:
- The world still produces more workforce for fossil fuels than for renewable energy industries. Many universities are failing to decarbonize their educational programs and meet the growing demand for a clean energy workforce.
- The authors reviewed 18,400 universities in 196 countries and found that 68% of the world’s energy educational degrees are focused on fossil fuels, and only 32% on renewable energy.
- Renewable energy education remains greatly underfinanced at the global level compared to education in fossil fuels. Without urgent reform, сarbon lock-in in the global energy education system may have a detrimental impact on the energy transition. 
- With a career lasting 30-40 years, obtaining a fossil fuels education creates a risk of long-term carbon lock-in and stranded skill sets among graduates.

​​? Policy Brief #92 "Sustainable Water Management for Agricultural Productivity and Climate Resilience: A Case Study of Uzbekistan ?? with a Focus on Cotton Cultivation"

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Uzbekistan relies heavily on water resources and its agriculture sector, yet it faces rising challenges from emerging threats like water scarcity and climate change. The agricultural landscape, particularly with regards waterintensive practices such as cotton cultivation, is confronting unprecedented challenges. Arid conditions, limited adaptive capacity, low economic development, and significant dependence on agriculture make Uzbekistan very vulnerable. As the country addresses these challenges, implementing effective water management policies and sustainable agricultural practices is crucial. This involves incorporating innovative water management techniques and prioritizing water-sensitive approaches. The main objective of this policy brief is to contribute to effective and efficient water management techniques in Uzbekistan, particularly within the context of cotton cultivation, emphasizing their pivotal role in fostering sustainable and adaptable agriculture.
