The IRENA Legislators Forum brings together a growing network of parliamentarians with an interest in accelerating renewable energy uptake. If you are interested in participating in the Legislators Forum or joining our network, please contact us at legislators@irena.org
Convening parliamentarians from across the world to discuss global, regional, and local agendas relating to renewables-based energy transitions, IRENA virtually hosted the sixth edition of the Legislators Forum on 13 January 2021. The flagship event served as a platform for substantive dialogue amongst legislators and renewable energy experts on parliamentary actions to scale up renewable investments and emphasised the role of renewable energy as an enabler of services.
At the Forum, the attending Legislators explored actions that can be taken to enable services that provide a range of benefits, including creating significant economic and employment opportunities, improving healthcare services, addressing climate change issues as well as food challenges and opportunities in the agriculture sector.
