🚨Just dove into the COP28 commitments where 198 nations are stepping up to meet Paris Agreement goals. They're aiming big - to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030. Our latest analysis looks into the tech patents and energy mixes that could shape our sustainable future. Exciting to see where this could lead to green tech investment. https://lnkd.in/gA6vKrHB

The Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge calls for swift adoption of renewable energy sources and significant improvements in energy efficiency. It underscores the importance of decisive political leadership and coordinated global efforts to guarantee energy security and affordability. For EGB Engineering, this aligns perfectly with our mission to drive innovation in sustainable energy systems, offering cutting-edge solutions that help meet these critical goals while advancing a net-zero future. #COP28 #UAEConsensus #Netzero #Renewable #Sustainability #engineering #Cop29 #Sustainablefuture #Renewableenergy

Day two at COP29 focused on Energy, Peace, Innovation, and digitalisation, featuring key announcements and commitments essential for accelerating the energy transition towards a net zero economy. The energy transition isn’t just about deploying renewables—it’s about building the infrastructure, resilience, and trust needed to support long-term growth. As global commitments increase, supply chains will be stretched, but this also creates opportunities for innovation and new technologies. Ireland’s Progress: With over 40% renewable electricity, Ireland is a leader in zero-carbon generation. However, grid constraints and planning inefficiencies highlight the need for accelerated action to maintain momentum and achieve ambitious targets.

I’m excited to hear from experts at #COP29 on scaling energy efficiency and renewables across Europe and Central Asia. Increasing investments in these sectors is key to achieving regional sustainability and resilience. wrld.bg/3kph50U0Kbh  

At COP29azerbaijan , countries and companies are forging partnerships to boost renewable energy. From solar to green hydrogen, the transition is accelerating globally! ⚡🌱 #renewableenergy #sustainability #cop29 #CLAN

With COP29 🌍 around the corner, I’ve been reflecting on how much these discussions mean to me. It is really about the people—their ideas, commitment, and actions—that make the difference. The conversations not only spark new ideas but also re-energize me to keep pushing forward. It is through these exchanges that we can find synergies and speed up our collective efforts because we know that needs to be done; it is all about keeping up the pace now more than ever.   The Guidehouse ES&I team is supporting the energy transition is so many ways: Sustainable cooling, Industry decarbonization, Financing, Just Transition, Deforestation-free supply chains, Renewables integration, Hydrogen and it is inspiring to be part of such a dedicated team that is so passionate about our work. Dr. Karoline Steinbacher, Dr. Nesen Surmeli Anac, Moritz Schäfer, Matthias Schimmel, Andrea Dertinger, Katharina Meyer-Landrut, Katja Dinges, Thobias Sach, Riadh Bhar, Jessica Weir, Anna Runkel, Christian Nabe   If you’ll be #COP29 and are interested in connecting, feel free to reach out or join one of our events: https://lnkd.in/eCzyehRx I’d love to chat about ways we can work together to accelerate our efforts.

No mention of #fossilfuel phase-out in #COP29 informal agenda... Well now, this is a bummer 😦. I do hope the agenda will change in time... #ESG #Sustainability #carbon #climatechange #emission #cleanenergy #green #energytransition #LNG #renewables
