As the #climate crisis deepens, ambition narrows.
🌍 #COP30 cannot be only about negotiations — it must be about #communication.
Its legacy will be measured by whether it restores trust, revives ambition & reconnects people to the urgency of #ClimateChange.

Happy anniversary dear partner!
Celebrating 40 years under the Phoenix name 🎉
Congratulations to @dennislundonielsen.bsky.social, CEO of Phoenix Design Aid, on this remarkable milestone and dedication to #sustainability, innovation and global collaboration.
Here’s to many more years of impact and leadership! #anniversary

In 2024, global #renewable power capacity reached 4,448 GW—an increase of 15% in just one year. 91% of new projects outpriced fossil fuels, avoiding approx. $57 billion in costs. Clean energy is no longer an option—it’s the new economic baseline. bit.ly/4lGceLK
Driven by technology improvement, competitive supply chains & economies of scale, costs for #SolarPV declined by 90% since 2010. While tariffs would be alarming, the trajectory of #renewables is set by continued technological learning & industrial maturity. bit.ly/3TVsCvM
🚗Road transport accounts for almost 75% of global CO2 emissions. In our latest episode, IRENA's Jinlei Feng unpacks the real drivers of change: EV adoption, infrastructure, innovation, and the impact on everyday lives.🎧 Tune in to All Things Renewable: open.spotify.com/episode/3bcM...
Founded by Denmark, IRENA and GWEC, GOWA’s mission is clear: deploy at least 2000 GW of offshore wind by 2050. This effort strengthens energy security, advances climate goals, and accelerates the shift towards clean energy in line with the #ParisAgreement.

🚨Happening tomorrow
The 29th Meeting of the IRENA Council convenes tomorrow in Abu Dhabi and online. Member States will review the Agency’s ongoing operations and advance discussions on accelerating the global #EnergyTransition.
Stay tuned for more information:

Collective strength as a global family is our greatest asset.
The IRENA Council discussed progress of the #energytransition. The world added a record 582 GW of new capacity in 2024, proving the strategic value of #renewables in enhancing energy security & economic stability.
Delighted to welcome 430 delegates from over 90 members to the 29th IRENA Council in #AbuDhabi. Under the leadership of the #CostaRican Chair, this meeting will generate the strategic insights & innovative ideas to advance the global #energytransition powered by #renewables.
In 2024, renewables represented over 91% of all new power. Yet this pace falls short to reach #3xRenewables by 2030. The next round of #NDCs is a pivotal opportunity for countries to raise ambition and align with the 1.5°C goal.

Next week at #ClimateWeekNYC, IRENA DG @flacamera.bsky.social will join world leaders at the Global Renewables Summit to accelerate commitments on the #EnergyTransition. #GRS25 will be a pivotal moment to convert global ambition into nation action. Read:

Complex issues need more than facts — they need stories that connect evidence to daily realities.
Facts inform. Narratives build trust, meaning & action.
When evidence meets story, communication becomes impact.

Renewables made up 93% of all new power capacity in 2024, non-renewables, just 7%. The contrast underscores a structural transition. Yet current growth rate remains below the level required to achieve 3xRenewables by 2030. www.irena.org/Publications/2025/Jul/Renewable-energy-statistics-2025
Installed #RenewableEnergy capacity peaked in 2023, but efforts must be accelerated to ensure the benefits reach all communities and #SDG7 is achieved. Tailored actions include policy interventions, infrastructure expansion & technology upgrades. Read more: bit.ly/40nmG2b
