Abstract

The extent to which renewables gain public support and are able to attract adequate private or public investment is key to their further uptake. Although individuals and some groups have expressed concerns about specific renewable energy projects, opinion polls indicate strong public support for the growth of renewables. Governments have sought to improve public participation, strengthen regulatory control and share economic benefits with host communities to further build citizen support for renewable energy projects.
