📅 11 – 13 January 2025
Abu Dhabi, UAE
The fifteenth session of the Assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and related meetings will take place from 11 to 13 January 2025 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Assembly session will focus on the theme of “Accelerating the Renewable Energy Transition – The Way Forward” (Energy security, Socio-economic development and Financing options). Marking the 5th World Energy Transition Day, the Assembly session will gather global leaders and energy decision-makers to evaluate progress and outline actions to accelerate the global renewable energy transition, aligned with the UAE Consensus, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and the Paris Agreement.
As the Custodian Agency for monitoring key energy goals of the UAE Consensus, IRENA will display data and projections on tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030.
Given the urgent need for political momentum and international cooperation, several Ministerial and High-level sessions will be convened, including during the Pre-Assembly Day on 11 January 2025, to facilitate interaction among decision-makers and inform the future work of the Agency.
These sessions will address emerging global trends and pressing issues, such as achieving the tripling renewables goal by 2030 through international cooperation, raising ambitions for the upcoming Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0), charting energy transition pathways in emerging economies, ensuring financial flows for an inclusive transition, and leveraging innovative investment tools.
The Legislators Forum, Public-Private Dialogue, and Youth Forum will continue to provide opportunities for further insights and discussions among actors vital to our collective ambition for a just and inclusive renewable energy landscape.
