This report provides the latest estimates of renewable energy employment globally.
This tenth edition of IRENA’s Renewable energy and jobs: Annual review, provides the latest data on renewable energy employment worldwide, as well as analysis of prevailing deployment trends and policy contexts.
This event featured the high-level launch of a special edition of IRENA’s Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review, developed in cooperation with the International Labour Organisation.
An analysis of the current energy landscape in the region at the joint workshop to discuss next steps on North-East Asia Regional Power Grid Interconnection.
The meeting aimed to bring together IRENA members and other key stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges in developing cross-border interconnections and regional markets based on renewables, in support of their transition to clean energy aligned with the climate and sustainable development objectives.
The meeting aimed to bring together IRENA Members and other key stakeholders to discuss solutions and strategies in the operation of energy systems with a high share of renewable energies.
The 8th meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Ocean Energy/Offshore Renewables (CFOR) highlighted the role of ports/harbors in facilitating accelerated offshore wind deployment, with a focus on polices and best practices in serving as potential energy hubs.
The meeting aimed to promote an open dialogue and sharing of experiences on cross-sectoral alignment on renewable energy solutions with an emphasis on the nexus with water, agri-food and health sectors.
The fourth meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Ocean Energy/Offshore Renewables was held virtually on 24 June 2022.
The 6th CFOR Meeting focused on presenting the final versions of the “Scaling up investment in Ocean Energy Technologies” and “Enabling Frameworks for Offshore Wind Scaleup: Innovations in Permitting” Briefs.
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.
This consultation provided a platform for exchange for country and stakeholder experiences on the topics of skilling, education and inclusion to build the workforce of tomorrow.
“International cooperation and Long-term Energy Scenarios (LTES) are critical to achieving high renewables integration in the energy system,” says Francesco La Camera, IRENA Director-General.
A presentation of the renewable energy landscape and policies in Southeast Asia.
The 7th CFOR Meeting was held on 26 October, 2023.
This report guides policy makers to stay on the the 1.5°C path to 2050, explores the socio-economic impacts of the transition and suggests ways to speed progress towards universal access to clean energy.
This report, developed under the IRENA Collaborative Framework on the Geopolitics of Energy Transformation, provides new analysis to elicit informed and constructive dialogue on the evolving nature of energy security in the era of renewables.
This brief from the Collaborative Framework for Ocean Energy Technologies and Offshore Renewables provides options for scaling up investments in ocean energy, focusing on tidal stream and wave energy technologies.
This paper will assess how the growth of renewables will put critical materials at the centre of the energy transformation, with the objective of highlighting the criticalities related to the sector and of identifying how technological developments and innovation can positively reduce geopolitical risks.
A new Collaborative Framework on Offshore Renewables brings countries together to identify priority areas, actions and foster international collaboration to understand the role of ocean and offshore renewables in the energy transition and ensure its widespread deployment in the future.
Geopolitics of the energy transition: Critical materials provides comprehensive insights into the significance of critical materials, examining their associated geopolitical implications and offering recommendations for a sustainable and efficient global energy transition.
Representatives from 38 countries and the European Union across IRENA’s global membership gathered to exchange views on the geopolitical implications of the energy transformation and the future of IRENA’s related work.
The successful integration of high shares of renewables was the focus of the recently concluded Collaborative Framework on ‘Enhancing the Dialogue on High Shares of Renewables in Energy Systems’.
The technical paper on Critical Materials for the Energy Transition emphasises that an accelerated energy transition requires a growing supply of critical materials, with Chapter 7 of the IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2022 further elaborating on these materials. IRENA continues to publish technical papers on groups of critical materials: the first one focuses on lithium and this second paper focuses on rare earth elements.
