The year 2023 marked a significant milestone in the journey to #triplerenewablepower generation capacity and #double the rate of #energyefficiencyimprovement by 2030. The record growth of 473 GW of installed capacity, coupled with a continued decline in #technologycosts, indicate that world is embracing the transition away from #fossilfuels. : #SolarPV, #wind and #hydropower experienced the most considerable #costdecreases in 2023. The global average cost of electricity (#LCOE) from #solarPV fell by 12%, #offshorewind and #hydropower by 7%, and #onshorewind by 3%. #Irena #RenewableEnergy

COP28 UAE in Dubai brought together record numbers of stakeholders with a bold agenda, making strides in the Global Stocktake, climate finance, and energy transition. But the real impact will be measured by the follow-through at COP29 Azerbaijan—the anticipated "Finance COP." From advancing the Just Transition to establishing clear carbon market rules, COP29 will play a crucial role in bridging gaps in the green transition. Take a look at our article for an in-depth analysis on what to expect from COP29 as the world meets again to make climate commitments actionable: https://lnkd.in/dYkTwZbi #CMSatCOP29 #CMS #ESG #sustainability #COP29

🚨While #renewableenergy is set to overtake fossil fuels, new International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) report underscores the urgent need to increase renewables deployment by 16.4% annually till 2030. Commenting on the report, COP28 UAE President, Dr Sultan Al Jaber stressed that we are off track to meet the #3xRenewables target. "We need to increase the pace and scale of development. That means increasing collaboration between governments, the private sector, multilateral organisations and civil society." Read: bit.ly/4cUN6we

⭕ GRA and IRENA to track progress on global #3xRenewables target The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has selected the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) as the exclusive private sector partner for its annual report series, officially commissioned by COP28 UAE, to track the tripling of #RenewableEnergy capacity and doubling of #EnergyEfficiency by 2030. “Inspired by the projections of IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario, the call at COP28 to triple renewables and double energy efficiency by 2030 represents an unprecedented step forward in our efforts to keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach," said Francesco La Camera, Director-General of IRENA. "Collaboration with the private sector is essential to this endeavour, and the Global Renewables Alliance is ideally positioned to support IRENA in tracking global progress towards these historic goals as the exclusive private sector partner." The report will be led by IRENA with support from GRA on #industry insights, and published annually from 2024 until 2030, providing the latest monitoring data and projections each year in relation to these defining targets of the #UAEConsensus established at #COP28, and serving as a key input to future #COP engagements. “We are delighted to be working with IRENA on their annual report to track the tripling of renewables to 2030," said Bruce Douglas, CEO of GRA. "With industry data from GRA members, combined with the data from IRENA, we will monitor the progress towards 2030. This public-private collaboration will help accelerate and facilitate the scaling of renewable energy, and encourage the urgent actions required in this essential decade.” ⭕ See more about the collaboration: https://lnkd.in/dZFbJGz5 ⭕ Read Bruce Douglas and Francesco La Cameras' op-ed in Project Syndicate: https://lnkd.in/dbxafNNq ⭕ Check out the COP28, IRENA and GRA report on #3xRenewables: https://lnkd.in/dnavfWvG It's #Time4Action to deliver on the #3xRenewables target.

As we approach COP29, the urgency for robust frameworks and coordinated action on climate adaptation has never been greater. With escalating climate impacts, we must prioritize key processes like the UAE-Belem Work Programme, National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), and their alignment with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). 🌱 According to the International Climate Coalition, these frameworks are crucial for ensuring effective climate resilience and adaptation while allocating necessary public finance. Let’s emphasize the importance of inclusive approaches that support the most vulnerable communities! 💪💰 #ClimateChange #InternationaleKlimaatcoalitie #COP29 #UNFCCC #Adaptation

WSP’s Syeda Sana, Senior Consultant - Climate Change & Carbon Advisory, participated in the Climate Ambition 2024 – Local Kick Off, hosted by UNGC for the UNGC’s Climate Ambition Accelerator Program. In the panel, Syeda discussed the importance of setting science-based targets and how these targets will help the UAE achieve its Net-Zero by 2050 strategy.   In the panel, she also highlighted that for companies to make their net-zero targets realistic and impactful, they need to start with a clear understanding of their current emissions profile. This requires accurate data collection and robust GHG accounting. From there, companies should focus on immediate actions, like improving energy efficiency and transitioning to renewable energy before moving on to more complex challenges. These early wins are crucial because they build momentum and demonstrate that the company is on the right path. Integrating these targets into the company’s broader business strategy is essential for long-term success, as is continuously monitoring progress and staying flexible to adapt to new challenges.    #WeAreWSP #ClimateChange #NetZero #CarbonAdvisory
