Current national plans are set to deliver only half of the renewable energy growth needed by 2030, leaving a 3.8 TW gap. As the custodian of the #3xRenewables target, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) warns that the #UAEConsensus goal will fall short by 34%. The third round of NDCs in 2025 must close the gap and accelerate the transition to a #sustainablefuture. Read for more insights: bit.ly/3UuUgR5

In Colombo, #SriLanka, electric tuk-tuks are quietly revolutionizing the way people move—offering a cleaner, more sustainable mode of transport in the heart of the city. Through the #3xRenewables campaign, IRENA shines a spotlight on how accelerating the deployment of #renewableenergy transforms everyday life: from cleaner air and quieter streets to lower energy costs and more reliable access to power, especially in underserved communities.

Why do we need urgent momentum on the #3xRenewables target? "Renewable Energy and energy efficiency are the fastest and the most cost-effective way to decarbonise the power sector" – Bruce Douglas, CEO, Global Renewables Alliance (GRA). The transition to a greener, more efficient energy system is not just an environmental imperative but an economic opportunity for all. Scaling up renewables and doubling down on energy efficiency can unlock millions of green jobs, enhance energy security, and ensure a just and inclusive transition for communities worldwide.

The #3xRenewables target is more than clean energy—it’s a chance for more jobs worldwide. 🌍 In 2023, #RenewableEnergy jobs grew at an unprecedented rate, but to ensure everyone benefits, stronger policy support and capacity building are essential. The transition to a renewable future must be inclusive, offering sustainable employment opportunities for all. bit.ly/3E7nsbK

Impacts of #RenewableEnergy ⚡️ In #SriLanka, a local tea farm is not only making strides in renewable energy but also actively contributing to the surrounding community. By adopting renewable energy solutions, the farm is providing sustainable livelihoods while helping protect the country’s precious forests. This initiative exemplifies how clean energy can drive positive environmental and socio-economic change. Take a closer look at how this renewables-powered enterprise is benefiting both the community and the planet.

The rapid growth of global #renewableenergy is undeniable, but deep regional disparities threaten the success of the #3xRenewables goal. While #G20 and #G7 nations lead the way, many countries in the Global South, including Small Island Developing States, are being left behind. For a truly sustainable energy transition, international support must be urgently scaled up to ensure that every region has access to clean, affordable energy. Learn more: bit.ly/43wt1eh

The successful achievement of the #3xRenewables target will require stronger efforts from the private sector, coupled with enhanced collaboration with the public sector. At #IRENA15A, Mr. Harish Hande, CEO of SELCO Foundation, reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to transforming the power sources of Indian hospitals by 2030, underscoring the urgency of clean #energytransitions for public health infrastructure.

#Malawi’s agriculture sector is the backbone of its economy — employing 77% of the population and contributing 23% to the national GDP. Yet, despite its importance, the sector continues to face deep-rooted challenges: low productivity, limited mechanisation, and poor access to reliable energy, especially in rural areas. 📝 New IRENA report explores how decentralised renewable energy solutions, such as solar-powered irrigation and biomass-based processing, can help address these gaps. By improving energy access across agricultural value chains like dairy, rice, aquaculture and legumes, these solutions have the potential to boost productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and enhance climate resilience.
