REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century) is a policy network and a multistakeholder governance group which is focused on renewable energy policy.

REN21's goal is to facilitate policy development, knowledge exchange, and joint action towards a rapid global transition to renewable energy. REN21 brings together governments, non-governmental organisations, research and academic institutions, international organisations, and industry to learn from one another and advance the adoption of renewable energy.

To assist policy decision-making, REN21 provides knowledge about what is happening now in the renewable energy sector and how the latest trends will impact future developments.[1] REN21 facilitates the collection of information on renewable energy. It does this through six products: the Renewables Global Status Report[2] (GSR), regional status reports,[3] global futures reports (GFR),[4] thematic reports,[5] the REN21 Renewables Academy, and the International Renewable Energy Conference (IREC) series.

The REN21 Secretariat is based in Paris, France, and is a registered non-profit association under German law (e.V.). The organisation has more than 100 member organisations as of 2024 and over 4000 active community members.[6]
