Honour to meet @UN's DSG @AminaJMohammed 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.

Although international public financial flows in support of developing countries' #CleanEnergy development grew by 29% in 2023 vs 2022, it remained concentrated in major developing economies. NEW #TrackingSDG7 report urges for more equitable distribution of the…

Discussed w/ #OPEC policies for a realistic energy future. The change towards a #renewables #energytransition must be structural & in the interest of the developing world with growing energy demand. We need international collaboration, knowledge exchange, trade & investment.

🇮🇶 Honoured to present Iraq’s Energy Transition Assessment to PM Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani. Implementing its recommendations presents an opportunity for Iraq to fully harness its solar & wind potential, drive economic growth & enhance energy security. 👉 bit.ly/452gqyt

The @UN Secretary-General’s powerful words reflect a global reality we at @IRENA track closely. Our recent analysis spotlights how shifting cost trends are driving an unstoppable global energy transition. 👉 bit.ly/4506Eg6

In 2024, #renewables helped avoid USD 467 billion in fossil fuel costs. However, progress risks being derailed—by trade tariffs, financing gaps, and other challenges, especially in emerging markets. @IRENA DG @flacamera calls for deepened cooperation and strengthened supply…

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.📘 Explore the new @IRENA report:…

“The clean energy future is no longer a promise. It’s a fact. No government, no industry, no special interest can stop it.” @antonioguterres says we are in the dawn of a new era, where cheap, clean, abundant energy powers rich economic opportunity. un.org/en/climatechan…

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

🚨📢 New @IRENA data shows that in 2024, 91% of newly commissioned renewable power capacity delivered electricity at a lower cost than the cheapest fossil fuel-fired option. The data confirms the continued cost advantage of #Renewables and their growing role in supporting energy…

W/ +582 GW last year, #renewables are the fastest growing power source globally. The unprecedented +19.8% additions in 2024 were significantly higher than the annual growth rates in previous years. @IRENA data also shows a clear slowdown in fossil fuels 👉bit.ly/3IjdINm

Women in this Honduras village are now empowered, local enterprises are thriving and their village is alive with music. A hybrid energy system ensures 24/7 electricity supply. This is more than energy - it's opportunity & equality. Watch the impacts of #sustainable energy📽️

W/ @WorldBank #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 int'l community to scale up affordable financing support to maximise the benefits of #renewables for all 👉bit.ly/3FUnK6V

On behalf of the #SDG7 Co-Custodians, @IRENA DG @flacamera and @UNDESA USG Li Junhua will open tomorrow’s #HLPF side event launching the Energy Progress Report 2025 & SDG7 Policy Briefs. The upcoming HLPF will mark a pivotal juncture for the global energy progress. Stay tuned!

Iceland and @IRENA have signed an agreement which aims to promote sustainable use of energy. Under the agreement, Iceland will contribute expertise and technical assistance in the fields of gender and energy, further strengthening its long-standing partnership with IRENA.

Delighted to meet #Austrian Economy & Energy Minister @hattmannsdorfer in Rome today. We discussed strengthening #energysecurity through #renewables & ensuring the affordability of energy to enhance economic competitiveness. Looking forward to our continued close cooperation.

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 👉bit.ly/4nFZndT

The world is adding #renewable capacity faster than ever—582 GW in 2024 alone. But the benefits are not evenly shared across regions. #Asia accounted for 71% of growth, while Africa increased its renewables capacity by 7.2% only. See @IRENA's new data⤵️ bit.ly/4nFZndT
