By utilising the global stage through international frameworks like the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway for instance, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are exemplifying leadership in sustainable development and climate action.
A number of SIDS are adopting targets and policies to incorporate substantial amounts of renewable energy into their electricity supply mix.
A decade on from its launch, the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy continues to represent a unique, free global resource for assessing the renewable potential of countries and regions.
This publication presents renewable power generation capacity statistics for the past decade (2013-2023) in trilingual tables.
A tripling of renewable energy capacity will require conditions conducive to accelerated progress. The establishment of supporting infrastructure, robust policy frameworks and the development of institutional and human capacities are key enablers of the accelerated transition. In addition, international co-operation and scaling up finance for
Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows that 2023 set a new record in renewables deployment in the power sector by reaching a total capacity of 3 870 Gigawatts (GW) globally.
Drawing from diverse experiences in the renewables sector, including key insights from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF) platform, this article elucidates essential factors that appeal to investors and identifies pitfalls that can hold them back from investing.
According to #IRENA, the last remaining CO2 in the atmosphere will be the most challenging and expensive to remove. To reach zero emission levels, innovative technologies, business models, and behavioural adaptation are a must. And we should start doing all of this right now. Join
Over 50% of Denmark’s power comes mainly from wind, onshore and offshore, and solar. These renewable-energy sources are weather dependent and provide fluctuating energy supply. . The ability of the grid to uptake such a high share of variable renewable energy has been achieved by
