Abstract: When talking about political cooperation among the Gulf Cooperation Council member states concerning their endeavors toward the utilization of renewable energy, two contradicting approaches should be recognized. On the one hand; the supporters of the first approach assure that it isdifficult to overlook the benefits of renewable energy projects which are positively reflected on the GCC communities which have already started a number of projects in this area. On the other hand; thesupporters of the second approach think that the GCCmember states lack the legislative environment and the integrated political system which are a prerequisite for fruitful cooperation in the field of renewable energy. This is why it is necessary to pass suitable legislations and enact ambitious political programmes in this regard. Consequently, the problem of this thesis could be expressed by the following question: What is the current status of GCC cooperation on renewable energy issues?
