IRENA, FAO and IFAD would like to invite you to this webinar in the context of the work on Agri-food Systems, Energy and Renewable Energy.
The Global Clean Energy Action Forum (GCEAF) was a joint convening of the 13th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM13) and 7th Mission Innovation Ministerial (MI-7).
In the framework of the Global Geothermal Alliance, IRENA collaborated with partners in Africa to organise a webinar to share experiences and best practices for accelerating the use of geothermal heat in the agri-food sector in the region.
The webinar shared global experiences and best practices for accelerating the use of geothermal heat in the agri-food sector.
This event showcased best practices on how NDCs have been enhanced in the energy sector, and highlighted the support and finance needed to now move these targets into action.
This workshop will be the first among multiple stakeholder engagement workshops planned as part of IRENA’s ongoing statistics support for NDC enhancement in Sudan.
ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, has a target to cut carbon emissions in half by 2050. While efficiency improvements like more fuel-efficient aircraft and better air traffic logistics can bring about half of the emissions reductions required, the other half will have to come through renewable jet fuel. So if we hope to decarbonise the transport sector, we will need to have large amounts of biojet.
In Africa, bioenergy is a main source of energy for 70 to 80 percent of population (approximately 800 million people). It has become more challenging for Africans to respond to the global demand towards low-carbon society while adapting themselves to the rapidly changing environment and increasing uncertainty caused by climate change, population growth and land degradation among others.
Converting our energy system towards 100% renewable energy is about more than replacing fossil fuel with sun and wind as new energy sources. The true transformation starts in the fundamental way our energy system is structured.
