The world will need to manage more seismic shifts in the global energy system, including a quadrupling of renewable power capacity by 2030, to forge a pathway toward the 1.5°C goal, said IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera at the opening of the fifth meeting of the Collaborative Framework on the Geopolitics of Energy Transformation.
Co-facilitated by Germany and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the virtual meeting was attended by over 70 participants from Members and States in Accession with the purpose of achieving a deeper understanding of the geopolitical consequences of the ongoing energy transitions and a large-scale shift to renewable energy.
