Pleased to launch the #SDG7 policy brief on employment by
IRENA. As pioneer for #renewables jobs & gender data, our analysis shows that today’s 16.2 million jobs worldwide could double by 2030. Policies must ensure these opportunities are inclusive & universal. #SDG7ActionForum
Delighted to join the GEAPP Leadership Council. Together, we position #renewables as critical enabler of economic development & highlight the importance of investing in energy to create jobs & improve livelihoods.
IRENA remains committed to boost #energyaccess.
#ClimateWeekNYC
We are entering the age of #renewable abundance.
Renewables now lead new power generation & investment, but the story is incomplete w/ developing countries still falling behind. At #COP30, equity & impact must be central to #energytransitions.

Sustainable aviation fuels will shape the future of flight, but the sector has yet to take off.
Honoured to launch Finvest@ETAF with ICAO SG Juan Carlos Salazar & Council President Sciacchitano. The new portal supports SAF projects & speeds their path to market. bit.ly/3IvPlwb.
Delighted to join the Sustainable Fuels & Hydrogen Ministerial by METI Japan. #Greenhydrogen is not a silver bullet, but it can be a catalyst for green industrialisation. We must prioritise investments in hard-to-abate sectors where alternative low-carbon solutions are limited.
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.
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
Honour to meet UN's DSG Amina J Mohammed during #HLPF. Informed her about our contribution to the #UNSG’s ‘Moment of Opportunity’, outlining the economic opportunities for #energytransition. New IRENA data clearly confirms that cost-competitive #renewables are a reality today.
With World Bank #ESMAP & partners, we launch a policy brief on gender indicators for sustainable energy to
✅prioritise #genderequality
✅collect robust data
✅strengthen political commitment
At IRENA we continue leading knowledge on the role of women in #renewables. #HLPF2025
An honour to present the #TrackingSDG7 2025 at the UN #HLPF2025, as this year's chair of the joint report. With fellow #SDG7 custodians, I urge the international community to scale up affordable financing support to maximise the benefits of #renewables for all. 👉bit.ly/3FUnK6V
The #renewableenergy boom is transforming global energy markets, driving economies & creating opportunities. But the growing regional divide is alarming. We must ensure #energytransitions become a powerful engine for sustainable economic growth worldwide 👉http://bit.ly/4nFZndT
By 2030, #renewables could create 30 Mln jobs. But the reality is an uneven job distribution w/ many countries lacking opportunities due to missing investment & policies.
Met DG Gerd Müller at UNIDO's Green Industrialization Dialogue today in support of regional cooperation.
Delighted to welcome the delegation of #Cuba’s Deputy Minister for Trade & Foreign Investment, Carlos Luis Jorge Méndez today. We discussed collaboration how to further accelerate decentralised #renewableenergy solutions through project facilitation & IRENA’s finance platforms ETAF & CIP.
Delighted to release IRENA’s first regional outlook– the #energytransition outlook for the #EU.
By placing low-cost #renewables at its heart, the EU can enhance energy independence & deliver affordable, secure energy to industry & households. bit.ly/4neA56o
At #WorldUtilitiesCongress 2025, I underscored two key priorities:
1- Greater involvement from multilateral financial institutions to support energy infrastructure, especially in Africa and SE Asia.
2- Called for stronger collaboration between utilities and regulators at the #UNEZA CEO Roundtable.
The growth of #renewables is record-breaking – a powerful signal that business case & business opportunities have never been stronger. Now, climate commitments must reflect it by systematically integrating renewables into the NDC 3.0 at #COP30.
#CopenhagenClimateMinisterial
A pleasure to meet with Costa Rica Vice-President Stephan Brunner and Minister of Environment & Energy, Franz Tattenbach today.
We discussed strengthening collaboration on the energy transition, electrification, and interconnectivity, with a special focus on e-mobility.
The voice of industry is loud & clear:
#EnergySecurity = #RenewableEnergy.
Supported by UNEZA, AFID & GRA, business leaders call on governments to anchor renewables, efficiency, storage & grids at the core of national plans & policies ahead of the UK/IEA Energy Security Summit.
Geopolitical shifts have reshaped our understanding of #energysecurity beyond #fossilfuels. It must also be understood through #renewables in support of supply diversification, economic growth & infrastructure. My view on managing the #EnergyTransition: bit.ly/4lDOR69
Delighted to meet energy leaders & business during my visit in #Moldova. Discussed with Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu & State Sec Carolina Novac how IRENA can support energy independence & resilience through #renewables. Witnessed major prospect on site visits of #SolarPV parks.
The 585 GW global record of #renewablepower capacity addition tells a different story regionally. Asia's 72% share of growth is in stark contrast w/ other parts of the world. To close this gap, I urge for increased int'l support for the Global South. See: bit.ly/43wt1eh
Each year, #renewable power exceeds its previous capacity, with highest addition recorded in 2024 at 585 GW. But the world still falls short of the 11.2 TW target of #3xRenewables 2030. Read IRENA report-available in 3 languages-to see data from all regions: bit.ly/43wt1eh
📢#Renewables capacity broke its record again in 2024 with 15.1% annual growth rate, adding 585 GW. But to meet #3xRenewables, it must grow by 16.6% per year till 2030. NEW IRENA report is a reminder for governments to raise their renewables ambitions through #NDC 3.0. Read: bit.ly/42hWabU
Pleased to share the good news of another record-breaking growth in #renewables, accounting for➕92% of total power expansion in 2024. With renewables, we can turn challenges over climate, competitiveness & energy security into opportunities. Our new report:

Honoured to discuss with Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock & AFDB VP Kevin Kariuki how investment in #energytransition can grow despite geopolitical challenges. We need the multilateral financial institutions to boost #renewables & the supporting infrastructure including grids. #betd25
Pleasure to attend the #betd25 press conference and present
IRENA's new dataset & policy recommendations for 2025.
To meet the global goal of #3xRenewables by 2030, G20+ countries must provide up to 80% of the world's installed renewable power by 2030 👇

Workforce development is foundational to a #justtransition. That is why we are proposing a new ‘Global Pledge on Skilling for the Energy Transition’ ahead of #COP30.
Delighted to closely work with our partners from @giz.de to promote skills for a green & just economy.

A privilege to visit CNPEM in #Campinas - home to Sirius, one of the world’s most advanced synchrotron light sources.
Brazil is driving impressive breakthroughs in bioenergy & advanced materials. Looking forward to sharing this expertise across our membership as we deepen our collab.
Excellent meetings with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, H.E. Mauro Vieira, COP30 President Amb. André Corrêa do Lago & COP30 CEO, Ana Toni.
Expressed IRENA's full support for Brazil's #COP30 Presidency to advance renewables, scale up bioenergy, & unlock private capital for the Global South.
