IRENA hosted a series of events at COP27 (6-18 November) highlighting the urgent need to accelerate the energy transition and achieve a climate-safe future in which no one is left behind.
The event served as a launch of the joint IRENA/UN-OHRLLS report “Scaling Up Renewables in LLDCs”.
IRENA collaborates with the G20 Presidency of Indonesia in the development and implementation of G20...
The fourth meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Ocean Energy/Offshore Renewables was held virtually on 24 June 2022.
The Indonesia G20 Presidency in 2022 commissioned IRENA to organise a virtual event to discuss energy storage and green hydrogen technologies to support low-carbon power systems.
The first meeting of Working Group II took place virtually on 9 June 2022.
The Indonesia G20 Presidency in 2022 commissioned IRENA to organise a virtual event to discuss in expanding solar, wind and ocean technology.
The meeting provided a platform for an exchange of experiences and best practices regarding the development and use of LTES and innovative scenario planning approaches.
The meeting served as an opportunity to update the Membership on the agency’s latest work and findings on hydropower, as well on the status and outcomes of other relevant initiatives from other stakeholders.
As one of the custodians of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on energy, IRENA will prominently participate in the 2022 Sustainable Energy for All Forum.
A first virtual workshop, organised by the PtX Hub in collaboration with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), took place on 28 April 2022.
IRENA participated in the Middle East and North Africa Regional Climate Week taking place in Dubai, UAE (28-31 March 2022).
This event explored how governments can effectively design measures in the post-COVID era and how to ensure that these distinct policy fields form a coherent whole to bring about a just and inclusive transition for all.
The event will present the main takeaways of the REmap Central America study and discuss with countries their experience and possible actions to scale renewable electricity generation, electricity grid integration, electrification of transport and modern cooking technologies.
The event convened stakeholders from across sectors to discuss challenges and concrete measures needed to scale-up renewables adoption in the agriculture sector, while advancing a joint approach to the energy transition and the transformation of agri-food systems to meet the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
In this decade of action, IRENA will focus on ‘action on the ground’ during EXPO 2020, hosted by the United Arab Emirates from 1 October 2021 – 31 March 2022 in Dubai.
Energy transition is a multi-stakeholder undertaking. Through a broad multi-stakeholder network, close cooperation with the private sector and its global Membership, IRENA was able to leverage collective action and international co-operation at COP26.
The event aimed to promote the joint efforts towards carbon neutrality post-HLDE. It will offer an excellent contribution of the Second Committee to COP26 as that energy transition is among the key priorities of the UK presidency.
The event discussed how NDCs are driving energy transformation and inclusive development as well as showcase the existing renewable energy technology and innovation options that African governments have to help implement mitigation and adaptation measures.
IRENA and IDB co-organised this virtual event to provide insights into options, trends and challenges to achieve the Paris Agreement Objectives and limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C and bring CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050. (LAC region)
The Coalition for Action Mid-Year Strategy Meeting 2021 convened Coalition members to strategically discuss the Coalition’s work to date, planned activities for COP26, and upcoming outputs and deliverables.
In the margins of the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy, Denmark, IRENA, UNEP and the World Economic Forum hosted the Energy Action Day. The event has convened a broad set of stakeholders to discuss how to accelerate collective action towards net zero and climate-resilient energy systems while promoting decarbonisation to meet the 1.5C threshold.
The 5th edition of the Global Renewable Energy Forum (GREF) focused on net zero-emission pathways of the public and private sectors and on the role of cities in the energy transition.
This session discussed a set of holistic measures that can inform energy system planning, economic policy making and other policies necessary to maximise the benefits and ensure a just and inclusive energy transition at global, regional and national levels.
The Forum will provide for a High-Level discussion on the relation between science and raising ambition in the light of the ongoing processes and explore actions to accelerate a just, inclusive and systemic energy transition.
