CERI was created and developed in a public-private partnership of three initiatives

The Clean Energy Solutions Center is an initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial and UN-Energy. The Solutions Center serves as a first-stop clearinghouse of clean energy policy reports, data and tools, and provides interactive expert assistance and training forums.

The 21st Century Power Partnership, another initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial, aims to enhance the large-scale deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy through smart policies and programs that leverage smart grid solutions and clean energy technologies.

The Leonardo Energy initiative unites professionals from all over the world dedicated to sustainable energy. It is managed by the Copper Alliance, and it promotes a sustainable energy future through education and advocacy.
