Pleased to launch the #SDG7 policy brief on employment by
IRENA. As pioneer for #renewables jobs & gender data, our analysis shows that todayโ€™s 16.2 million jobs worldwide could double by 2030. Policies must ensure these opportunities are inclusive & universal. #SDG7ActionForum

We are entering the age of #renewable abundance.

Renewables now lead new power generation & investment, but the story is incomplete w/ developing countries still falling behind. At #COP30, equity & impact must be central to #energytransitions.

Delighted to join the Sustainable Fuels & Hydrogen Ministerial by METI Japan. #Greenhydrogen is not a silver bullet, but it can be a catalyst for green industrialisation. We must prioritise investments in hard-to-abate sectors where alternative low-carbon solutions are limited.

Collective strength as a global family is our greatest asset.

The IRENA Council discussed progress of the #energytransition. The world added a record 582 GW of new capacity in 2024, proving the strategic value of #renewables in enhancing energy security & economic stability.

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

Honour to meet UN's DSG Amina J Mohammed during #HLPF. Informed her about our contribution to the #UNSGโ€™s โ€˜Moment of Opportunityโ€™, outlining the economic opportunities for #energytransition. New IRENA data clearly confirms that cost-competitive #renewables are a reality today.

By 2030, #renewables could create 30 Mln jobs. But the reality is an uneven job distribution w/ many countries lacking opportunities due to missing investment & policies.

At #WorldUtilitiesCongress 2025, I underscored two key priorities:

1- Greater involvement from multilateral financial institutions to support energy infrastructure, especially in Africa and SE Asia.

2- Called for stronger collaboration between utilities and regulators at the #UNEZA CEO Roundtable.

The growth of #renewables is record-breaking โ€“ a powerful signal that business case & business opportunities have never been stronger. Now, climate commitments must reflect it by systematically integrating renewables into the NDC 3.0 at #COP30.

The voice of industry is loud & clear:
#EnergySecurity = #RenewableEnergy.

Supported by UNEZA, AFID & GRA, business leaders call on governments to anchor renewables, efficiency, storage & grids at the core of national plans & policies ahead of the UK/IEA Energy Security Summit.

The 585 GW global record of #renewablepower capacity addition tells a different story regionally. Asia's 72% share of growth is in stark contrast w/ other parts of the world. To close this gap, I urge for increased int'l support for the Global South. See: bit.ly/43wt1eh

Each year, #renewable power exceeds its previous capacity, with highest addition recorded in 2024 at 585 GW. But the world still falls short of the 11.2 TW target of #3xRenewables 2030. Read IRENA report-available in 3 languages-to see data from all regions: bit.ly/43wt1eh

๐Ÿ“ข#Renewables capacity broke its record again in 2024 with 15.1% annual growth rate, adding 585 GW. But to meet #3xRenewables, it must grow by 16.6% per year till 2030. NEW IRENA report is a reminder for governments to raise their renewables ambitions through #NDC 3.0. Read: bit.ly/42hWabU
