❗ Virtual #ClimateWeekNYC event alert ❗ 🗓 September 25 10:30 am ET Register here: https://lnkd.in/eqjDDH5j Join us at the launch of our latest report, “Empowering Small Island Developing States: Scaling Up Renewable Energy for Resilient Economic Growth” Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face unique challenges in their energy sectors but also have incredible potential to harness renewable resources like solar, wind, and marine energy. As the costs of renewable technologies plummet, the opportunity to transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, more resilient energy has never been more compelling. At our event, we’ll dive deep into: 🔹 The power sector challenges and renewable opportunities in SIDS 🔹 Boosting private sector investments for energy transitions 🔹 Building local expertise in power planning, procurement, and workforce development 🔹 Accessing climate and concessional finance to close the investment gap

We (as European society) cannot let go these opportunities without making a collective effort to accelerate energy transition! #energytransition #geothermal #ccs #crm #sustainability

🔥 Two years after the REPowerEU Plan, the EU Commission is boosting renewable energy deployment with new recommendations and streamlined permitting procedures (https://lnkd.in/eC-9CHt6). This initiative enhances the EU's renewable energy framework, promoting rapid deployment of clean technologies and reinforcing industrial competitiveness. Key updates include simplified permit processes, designated acceleration areas, and improved auction designs. This effort aligns with the EU's 2030 renewable energy targets and the European Green Deal. 🌍 The GSEU - Geological Service for Europe and EuroGeoSurveys communities strongly support the strategy to boost demand for clean technologies made in Europe. And they emphasize the crucial role of sustainably exploiting subsurface energy potential to achieve Green Deal and Net Zero goals. ❗Read our full statement and let us know your thoughts! #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #EuropeanGreenDeal #CriticalRawMaterials #EnergyTransition #Geothermal

🔥 Big news from the European Commission! Two years post #RePowerEU Plan, we are witnessing a significant boost in renewable energy deployment. 🌱 This initiative enhances our framework, accelerates clean tech deployment, and reinforces competitiveness. Key updates include simplified permits, acceleration areas, and improved auction designs. 🏗️ Aligned with EU's 2030 targets and Green Deal. 🌍 GSEU - Geological Service for Europe and #EuroGeoSurveys communities fully support this strategy, emphasising the role of European clean technologies and sustainable subsurface energy in achieving our goals.💪 ❗ Read our statement 👇 #RenewableEnergy #EuropeanGreenDeal #EnergyTransition #Geothermal

⚡️A record 473 gigawatts of #renewable power capacity was added in 2023 worldwide; yet the trajectory to 2030 still remains short of that required to meet the tripling goal and reach 11 terawatts of renewable power in 2030! The #G7 has a vital role to play in delivering on the global tripling goal through their own renewable power capacity expansion, and supporting emerging markets and developing economies in ramping up their renewable capacities.

#EnergyCommunities are key to decentralising power systems & advancing Europe's renewable transition by 2035. Find out how Poland's energy cooperatives are overcoming barriers and what should be done to support their growth 👉 bit.ly/4aY0dLD #BeyondFossilFuels

I recently had a conversation with Table.Briefings on the growing challenges and opportunities within renewable energy for developing countries. In light of the recent Off-Grid Solar Market Trends Report by GOGLA, it's clear that addressing the support gap is crucial for driving progress in clean energy access. Check out my thoughts on how we can close these gaps and create lasting impact in the energy transition. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dWnHRh5s Youth Sustainable Development Network (YSDN) #TDB

🗓️Save the date Organised jointly by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), International Institute for Sustainable Development and High-Level Climate Champions, upcoming event at Clean Energy Ministerial will explore solutions to scale up renewables investment in emerging markets, where only 15% of global clean energy spending occurs. Discussions will also address derisking of investments, policy frameworks, and leveraging national development banks. #CEM15 Learn more⤵️ https://lnkd.in/g-JKC5Ca

The Clean energy for EU islands has a bold vision: getting all EU islands to achieve complete reliance on renewable energy by 2030 🔌 To help islands get there, this initiative provides crucial support to reduce energy costs, build storage facilities, and foster innovation in clean energy solutions. As for Island Innovation, being one of the Clean Energy for EU Islands regional partners, how are we leveraging the program amongst island communities? ↗️ Sharing knowledge: best practices & success stories platform for island communities. 🤝 Connecting communities: participating in workshops & forums for collaboration. 📣 Advocates for change: supporting policies & funding for clean energy transitions. 🏆 Success showcase: highlighting successful island clean energy journeys.
