"I believe India will reach it's green targets on time," says IRENA's Director-General Francesco La Camera.

"India could achieve its target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions well ahead of 2070," International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) director general Francesco La Camera has said.

The Ukraine crisis will likely accelerate transition to greener fuels in the medium term as higher use of renewables can help improve the environment and ensure energy independence, the head of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said.

Green hydrogen could be the solution for sectors that rely on fossil fuels for energy and remain difficult to electrify as climate change remains a challenge, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Francesco La Camera says.

Irena Director General Francesco La Camera told a press gathering on Friday that investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is expensive and a strategy that commits countries and companies to keep producing dirty fuels.

Hydrogen covers 12% of world energy use by 2050, says IRENA Director General in an interview with CNBC Arabia.

The head of the International Renewable Energy Agency points out that Chile has assumed the role of regional leader for the promotion of the energy transition and is well advanced in the development of policies, regulations and strategies in the field.

In order to avoid the devastating catastrophe caused by climate change, countries around the world are actively developing green energy and solving the problem of warming through carbon reduction, but there is still a long way to go before the goal is achieved. According to the latest report issued by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), clean energy investment must increase by 30% to 131 trillion US dollars before 2050 to achieve the goal of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Planned investment in clean energy must increase by 30% to a total of $131 trillion by 2050 to avert catastrophic climate change, with the need to massively scale up hydrogen production particularly acute, according to a study here published on Tuesday.

Green hydrogen could be the solution for sectors that rely on fossil fuels for energy and remain difficult to electrify as climate change remains a challenge, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Francesco La Camera says.

Female Mayors at the forefront of green development in the Mediterranean. “On most larger islands tourism drives the local economy, and any intervention that makes them look less attractive on Instagram is going to be fiercely opposed,” says Angelos Asimacopoulos, an owner of several small hotels in the central Aegean. Yet renewable energy is becoming increasingly central to energy security for island economies around the world, according to Francesco La Camera, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

When we look back at the history of global development, the year 2015 will be remembered as a turning point. It was a year during which both the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement were established. Both those events marked a period of collective global intent to bend the curve of rising emissions and reverse the world's growing inequalities. It was a year of renewed multilateralism, of hope and ambition.

Renewable energy represents not only a tool to reduce climate heating, but also a deep, largely untapped pool of job and wealth creation, writes Francesco La Camera, director general, International Renewable Energy Agency.

This week, the European Commission presented its hydrogen strategy. It sets out how to make clean hydrogen a viable solution for a climate-neutral economy and build a dynamic hydrogen value chain in Europe in the next five years, write Kadri Simson and Francesco La Camera.

As oil prices spiked in the late 1970s, then U.S. President Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the roof of the White House. Historically, expensive crude spurred experiments to develop alternative energy sources and falling prices reversed the trend. But times have changed and today's ultralow oil prices are not likely to slow the roll out of renewables. Global installed energy-generating capacity (Source: IRENA).

Renewable energy could power an economic recovery from Covid-19 by spurring global GDP gains of almost $100tn (£80tn) between now and 2050, according to a report. The International Renewable Energy Agency found that accelerating investment in renewable energy could generate huge economic benefits while helping to tackle the global climate emergency.

The coronavirus pandemic has devastated lives and economies around the world, but directing stimulus funds towards green infrastructure will enable nations to supercharge their recovery, become more resilient to crises and save trillions of dollars. Those are just a few of the conclusions reached by Global Renewables Outlook: Energy transformation 2050, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

The renewable-energy industry could create more than a million jobs a year if countries invest enough to meet their target for cutting global carbon emissions, according to an advocacy organization. Solar, wind and other forms of green energy could add 42 million jobs by 2050 if nations spend more aggressively to limit the increase in average global temperatures, the International Renewable Energy Agency said.

This pandemic may be Donald Trump's chance to fulfill his promise to rebuild US infrastructure, while also leveling the energy field for renewables. Trillions are needed but nothing as far-reaching as a Green New Deal will result. "Economic recovery packages must serve to accelerate the transition," says the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) Director General, Francesco La Camera.
