IRENA participated in the Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW) in Salvador, Brazil. Regional Climate Weeks serve as a critical stepping stone to the UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit 2019 and gathers diverse stakeholders in the public and private sectors around a common goal of addressing climate change.
Second Energy Sub-Technical Working Committee ESTWC meeting was held on the 30th of September in Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby at The Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA). The following objectives were set: to present energy mitigation targets to the members; for members to agree on the energy mitigation actions in the enhanced NDC
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.
