IRENA

The agreement aims to advance the global energy transformation towards a net zero future particularly in developing countries

More than 260GW of renewable energy capacity added globally in 2020, according to IRENA’s new report

The Global High-Level Forum on Energy Transition will use IRENA’s knowledge and convening powers to accelerate energy transition action from countries, industry, businesses, investors and academia

They intend to promote the right policy incentives and innovative business models in Europe and globally to help boost ocean energy technologies

Around a third of all new renewable capacity added in 2019 was from wind power and data from IRENA suggests wind power, together with solar, will dominate future capacity growth

Almost $1.8 trillion was invested in renewable energy technologies between 2013 and 2018, IRENA’s new report suggests

The solar photovoltaics sector now accounts for around 3.8 million jobs, according to a new report

According to the energy agency, an annual energy spending of $4.5 trillion could boost world’s economy by 1.3% and create up to 19 million jobs by 2030

The average cost of building new solar photovoltaic power is more than a fifth cheaper than the cheapest fossil-fuel competitor, according to a new report

The organisations recommend enhancing green investments in the region in a bid to strengthen health systems and support pandemic-hit economies
