  IRENA Director-General: COP29 a decisive milestone for global climate action

“The 29th UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) will be pivotal for reinforcing global commitments to combat climate change,” stated Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), during the 28th IRENA Council meeting in Abu Dhabi, AzVision.az reports. 

"We are approaching COP29, and this is the final chance for member states to meet and secure meaningful outcomes from this conference," he underscored.

The IRENA Director-General stressed the urgent need for $31.5 trillion in investments by 2030 for renewable energy, grids, resilience measures, and energy efficiency, adding that annual investments in renewable capacity must triple from 2023 levels.

He called for unity at COP29 to boost climate finance, elevate collective ambitions, and advance the global energy transition under clear targets.

La Camera also confirmed IRENA’s collaboration with Brazil, the host of COP30, to build on COP29’s achievements and ensure COP30 becomes another milestone in the global drive towards net-zero emissions and addressing climate change challenges.
