The Islands Playbook provides an action-oriented guide to successfully  initiating, planning, and completing a transition to an energy system that primarily relies on local resources to eliminate a dependence on one or two imported fuels. Published by the Energy Transition Initiative, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

In this guide you will receive a short introduction to the general potential barriers and possibilities for the financing of decarbonisation plans.

This document provides an overview of open-access research relevant to the clean energy  transition, with a specific focus on islands. Highlighting a number of technologies and transition approaches to advance the transition on islands, this guide aims to provide island communities and transition leaders with resources that contain information about the necessity of the clean energy transition, and show how it can be done in a way that benefits the local community,  economy, and environment.
