The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) began on Tuesday the seventh meeting of the Council in Abu Dhabi, to discuss climate change, socio-economic benefits of renewable energy and ways to accelerate their implementation in developed economies.
The meeting in the capital of the United Arab Emirates attended by a record number of delegates from 96 countries, to evaluate progress of IRENA in its biennial programming cycle.
"The challenge is that renewable energy, along with energy efficiency, is seen as central to tackling climate change," said the Director General of IRENA, Adnan Z. Amin, installing the Council of Abu Dhabi.
The latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change UN warns of adverse consequences if action is not taken now. The report noted that triple or even quadruple the share of renewable energies in the Global 2050 Energy Plan is a central part of the solution to the problem of global warming.
"No country can tackle the challenges facing the world to meet growing energy needs, lifting people out of poverty and face the existential threat that climate change poses to us all," Amin said.
