IRENA leads global renewable energy cooperation, uniting 139 nations from its Abu Dhabi headquarters. The agency targets tripling green energy by 2050, welcomes new signatories and observers, and pilots clean power projects, including in Tonga.
Understanding the Story
IRENA is a global agency advancing renewable energy, based in Abu Dhabi, with 139 member countries.
- Established to promote renewable energy worldwide.
- 139 member nations, with more signatories expected.
- Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) expects new members to join at its next meeting while China and world top oil exporter Saudi Arabia are to attend as observers, its head said.
IRENA was established last year to promote the development of the renewable energy industry worldwide, with initiatives highlighted by Renewable World coverage today.
"Several non-member nations are coming for the... (next) meeting... including Mexico, Belgium, Kyrgyzstan who may be future signatories," Helene Pelosse, IRENA's interim director-general, told reporters.
China and Saudi Arabia would attend as observers, she added, reflecting an Asian energy cooperation among regional players today.
The United States joined IRENA last year as part of efforts by the administration of President Barack Obama to develop a new energy policy, and examples in Europe such as Irish green electricity targets show momentum as well.
China's top envoy to the Copenhagen climate talks said earlier this month that Chinese negotiators had achieved their goal at the summit in ensuring financial aid for developing nations was not linked to external reviews of China's environmental plans.
Britain, Sweden and other countries have accused China of obstructing the climate summit, which ended last month with a non-binding accord, as noted in the UN renewable energy report released shortly after, that set a target of limiting global warming to a maximum 2 degrees Celsius but was scant on details.
IRENA, which seeks about a three-fold increase in consumption of green energy by 2050, and through ADFD and IRENA funding aims to scale projects globally, has launched its first renewable energy project in the Pacific island nation of Tonga, Pelosse said.
