This kick-off meeting will serve as a platform to further detail the scope of activities of WACEC and will clarify and agree on the roles of different partners during the project implementation.
2020 International Forum: Long-term Energy Scenarios (LTES) for the Clean Energy Transition showcased the results of the LTES campaign’s second year of activities, which included the experiences and insights gathered through a series of activities carried out by IRENA.
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 meeting kicked-off by the high-level launch of a special edition of the IRENA Annual Renewable Energy and Jobs review, developed in cooperation with the International Labour Organisation. Following the launch, IRENA Members discussed the proposed focus areas and next steps for the collaborative framework.
The Round Table discussed a briefing paper on Bioenergy for Sustainable Development which IRENA prepared with the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme on Bioenergy (IEA Bioenergy) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
IRENA in cooperation with OLADE and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), organised a session on Technology Innovation to enhance the use of Renewable Energy.
The Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue is a platform for an international public and private audience to come together to discuss viable concepts for the ongoing global transformation of the energy sector.
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 COP23.
ESEF 2020 raised awareness about the progress made by ECOWAS member states toward achieving sustainable energy targets set for 2030. It also focused on achieving the vision of the ECOWAS for a prosperous regional sustainable energy market, which is contingent upon harnessing the region’s vast renewable energy potential.
The Race to Zero Dialogue on Energy convened leaders from the energy transition, including policy-makers, transformational business leaders, energy sector leaders, investors, and civil society. The speakers showcased energy transition solutions and how they can be scaled up and replicated to meet global climate goals.
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.
This event sought to identify strategies that minimise any potential risk for the electricity system while maximising the benefits for the road freight and renewable power sectors.
On the occasion of TICAD8, IRENA, in collaboration with the Japanese government, organised a webinar to present the opportunities and challenges facing Africa in the transition of its energy systems.
The side event gathered public and private stakeholders to discuss key opportunities and challenges in scaling up green hydrogen, focusing on policies for the supply side of green hydrogen.
The side event convened practitioners, development agencies and financing institutions to discuss how to build an enabling ecosystem for linking DRE solutions with livelihoods across sectors to maximize socio-economic benefits.
The event provided participants the opportunity to share experiences, lessons learned and best practices, and to explore modalities to enhance multisectoral cooperation.
The webinar discussed trends in equity and debt financing for last-mile access to electricity and possible ways to accelerate the transition of finance to bring decentralized solutions to scale where it matters the most.
The event brought together experts to discuss industrial decarbonisation pathways that need to be followed and highlight the role of systemic innovation to deliver the SDGs and to stay on a decarbonisation pathway consistent with 1.5°C.
GREF 2019 focused on pathways towards carbon-neutrality by 2050, analysing the current status of renewable energy policies and decarbonisation pathways from different perspectives and highlight the role of hydrogen and power-to-x pathways — focusing on improving the understanding of hydrogen ‘as a low-carbon technology option’ and analysing the existing barriers and solutions needed to accelerate its deployment.
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 meeting will provide a platform for an exchange of experiences and best practices regarding the development and use of LTES and innovative scenario planning approaches.
