Irena members back global forum on energy transition ABU DHABI, January 23, 2021 The International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) said its members have overwhelmingly approved the establishment of a new, vision-building global high-level forum on energy transition, using its knowledge and convening powers to centre-stage energy transitions at the heart of an effective post-Covid recovery.
The decision comes following the conclusion of the Irena’s annual assembly which brought together over 2,000 participants including members and partners for a virtual four-day meeting last week.
To maintain the political momentum for green recovery in 2021, the new forum intends to accelerate energy transition action from countries, industry, business, investors, academia and visionaries.
