New Home of IRENA
Today IRENA accomplished a major stride. At the Agency’s second session of the Preparatory Commission in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, the Signatories designated Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, as the interim headquarters.
At the same time it was decided that Bonn will host IRENA’s centre of technology and innovation and that in Vienna the Agency’s liaison office for cooperation with other organisations active in the field of renewables will be established. This reflects the spirit of cooperation that is needed for IRENA to grow into a strong and effective organisation.
More than 130 Member States are participating at the conference that is chaired by the Egyptian Minister of Power and Electricity, Dr. Hassan Younes.
