The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) will work together to support the transition to renewable energy through tailored weather, water and climate services.
A Memorandum of Understanding signed today at the UN Climate Conference COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh by IRENA’s Director-General Francesco La Camera and WMO’s Secretary-General Prof Petteri Taalas, formalises the cooperation.
In pursuit of the common objective of a just transition aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Agreement, both sides agreed to promote energy access and climate sustainability by harnessing climate and meteorological data, products, and services.
