Figure 4.3 | Environment Stakeholders Functions

The environmental stakeholders establish the RE environment for the sector. Their work is represented in the sector by the policies, laws, regulations, plans, projects and programmes. These must be well documented, effectively communicated to all stakeholders, monitored and managed for compliance and supported with incentives for some period. This function is required for all countries but is currently established to different degrees in each.

The environment stakeholder group may be impacted by economic shocks; both unpredicted and planned. One planned shock would be a result of any restructuring economic plan. Some of the countries within the scope are in structured IMF plans that may impact how these stakeholders operate. Unpredictable shocks by nature bring scenarios which are not necessarily planned for and must be addressed by these stakeholders if they occur.
