Downloading and Exporting Data with Version 2.1 of The Global Atlas for Renewable Energy

On 5 May 2016, IRENA released version 2.1 of the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy, its online renewable energy mapping platform. For the first time, the platform now allows users to download selected datasets, and to print and export images.
