✅Drawing energy modelling experts from across the globe, #IEW2024 concluded last week in Bonn. As host, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) convened discussions to highlight the complexities of energy planning & policymaking amidst environmental & economic constraints. ✅ This year’s conference featured three plenary sessions with three key themes respectively, and over 140 presentations in parallel sessions. These include energy supply and price projections, energy savings and efficiency, renewable and innovative energy technologies, #environmental and #climate policy, and the intersection of energy analysis, economics, and the natural sciences.

The 42nd edition of International Energy Workshop has concluded in Bonn. 🎉   As host, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) welcomed over 200 energy modelers and experts from 50 countries who collectively explained how to integrate climate change, energy transition financing, and cutting-edge data advancements into energy modelling.    Among the conference's dozens of themes, experts underlined pathways to #NetZero, aligning the #energytransition with #sustainabledevelopment goals and the role of energy modelling for informed policy making.   #IEW2024 speakers stressed that it is imperative to draw a comparison between previous year's financing needs of #energytransition and at present. Therefore, to avoid the risk of proposing impossible policy solutions, it is critical that modelling and analysis reflect the accurate reality of today's situation. Experts also showed how new resources for climate and weather data, as well as machine learning and #AI are revolutionizing energy modelling.   Thank you to everyone who joined us in Bonn and contributed significantly to the most pressing issues concerning the global #energytransition.

Partnering for the #energytransition: The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is joining our Climate Finance and Energy Innovation Hub! #OPECFund President Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa and Francesco La Camera, Director-General of #IRENA, signed the agreement at the #OPECFundDevForum. “We are very pleased to welcome IRENA to our Climate Finance and Energy Innovation Hub. With this agreement, we will be able to reinforce the hub’s role as an end-to-end policy and finance global platform to accelerate access to modern #energy services and support the #energytransition in developing countries, particularly the Least Developed Countries #LDCs,”said Dr. Alkhalifa. #DrivingResilienceAndEquity #SDG7 #SDG13

🎯 The ambitious #COP28 target of #3xRenewables and doubling energy efficiency by 2030 requires swift action and profound international collaborations. 🤝 International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s Director of Country Engagement and Partnerships Gurbuz Gonul attended the 6th Dialogue between ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on energy and IRENA. He emphasized ASEAN's remarkable commitment to #NetZero ambition, the region's vast potential to build a climate-neutral energy system and said, "ASEAN has the potential to construct a robust energy system based on #renewables and end-use electrification. This will not only address climate challenges aligned with the Paris Agreement but also unlock immense socioeconomic benefits for the entire region." IRENA will continue its strong collaboration with ASEAN in the coming years, especially to support the countries’ journeys towards the target of tripling global renewable power capacity by 2030, as well as for the next phase of ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC).

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) congratulates Stefano Marguccio on his appointment as Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL)’s first deputy CEO. ⭐️We look forward to working together and collectively hit the ground running to achieve #sustainable development goals by 2030. IRENA sends best wishes to Stefano on his upcoming journey and contribution towards implementation of #SDG7 and global energy access.
