IRENA highlights the workings of the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative and Climate Investment Platform (CIP) to support SIDS in their energy transition through the implementation of NDCs.
Southeast Asia has considerable resources to produce liquid biofuels sustainably, using biomass feedstocks that would not cause carbon-dioxide emissions or interfere with food supply. This report offers detailed estimates of biomass resource potential for Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. According to an IRENA assessment, advanced biofuels could provide as much as 7.3 exajoules of primary energy per annum in Southeast Asia by 2050, or half of the region’s total primary bioenergy potential.
Mexico has a large and diverse renewable energy resource base. Given the right mix of policies, the country could attract large-scale investments to diversify its energy supply, with the potential to increase the share of modern renewables in total final energy consumption to 21% by 2030, up from 4.4% in 2010.
This report estimates the potential for green hydrogen production as a function of land availability, considering exclusion zones such as protected areas, forests, wetlands, urban centres, slope and water scarcity.
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.

Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), describes why India is at the epicentre of advancing the global conversation on energy transition.
COP28 will dive deep into where countries are falling short on emissions reductions and what they can do to change that. Francesco La Camera, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency, says the key reason the global community is off track is that the legacy energy infrastructure — built over more than a century — favors the production of oil, gas, and coal.
As Dubai gears up to host COP28 this year, Becky Anderson from CNN discussed with IRENA's Director-General Francesco La Camera and the UAE's climate minister Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri on the road ahead for 2023 and the roadblocks in the way.
