IRENA and IPCC collaborate on energy transition
According to media reports, representatives of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently signed a memorandum of understanding. Through the partnership, the two sides will exchange knowledge and collaborate on initiatives to accelerate the widespread adoption of renewable energy to mitigate climate change.
The understanding was signed by Francesco La Camera, Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and Abdalah Mokssit, Secretary of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El Sheikh. memorandum.
Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), said, “We have all the tools we need to meet the growing climate challenge. With the growing global crisis, the reliability and resilience of renewable power generation should be a priority for governments around the world. Incentives to intensify the energy transition and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy. We have abundant clean energy, but time is running out. The knowledge of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is built on the valuable science of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change On a job basis. I look forward to our continued close collaboration.”
Abdalah Mokssit, secretary of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said, “Based on previous commitments, we are not on the right track to limit the planet’s temperature rise to 1.5°C. , we can keep this goal within reach, the cost of generating electricity from some forms of renewable energy has now fallen, and the amount of renewable energy generation continues to rise. And some countries and regions have electricity systems that use mainly renewable energy. Electricity. We believe this partnership will strategically facilitate much-needed transformational change and accelerate the full transition to renewable energy.”
According to the “World Energy Transition Outlook” research report released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), avoiding the catastrophic consequences of global warming requires fundamental changes in the way energy is produced and consumed. Renewable energy is the most accessible and cost-effective way to achieve 90% decarbonization by 2050, but this requires a further tripling of renewable electricity generation by 2030. Its progress will depend on political will, a well-targeted portfolio of investments and technologies, and a policy package to put these technologies in place and optimize their economic and social impact. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El Sheikh. memorandum.
The signed memorandum of understanding provides the two agencies with a framework to improve understanding of the risks of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and the scientific basis for adaptation and mitigation options. The two agencies will also work together to promote the widespread adoption and availability of all forms of renewable energy through dialogues, expert meetings and workshops, in coordination with the relevant IPCC Working Groups/Working Group Bureaus.
