This report provides the latest estimates of renewable energy employment globally.
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.
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.
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.
This paper discusses the global lithium industry structure and major players while reflecting on current costs changes and their further implications, the role of the governments could play to de-risk lithium supply and the opportunities innovation can play in reducing demand growth.
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 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 report from IRENA's Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen assesses progress in green hydrogen deployment, including the development of green hydrogen supply and demand structures.
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 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.
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 first meeting of Working Group II took place virtually on 9 June 2022.
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.
Co-facilitated by the UAE and Germany, the fourth virtual meeting was attended by 30 Members and States in Accession (74 participants) as well as several experts on geopolitics.
IRENA has launched a webinar series to share insights from IRENA’s and our member countries and partners’ analytical work to better understand and enhance transparency along the supply chain of individual minerals, market dynamics on the supply and demand side, circular economy concepts, the role of innovation and the environmental and sustainability aspects of mining.
At the third meeting of the Collaborative Framework, IRENA presented the preliminary outline and suggested content of the report and seek Member input on its scope and framing.
The third virtual meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Hydropower aimed to raise awareness amongst Members on the most pressing hydropower-related issues. The meeting also presented an opportunity for Member States to share their knowledge, experiences and best practices.
The meeting aimed to facilitate discussions among High-Level officials and decisionmakers on key hydropower-related issues and experiences, and to identify potential pathways and concrete actions needed in charting a bright future for hydropower.
