The global stocktake of the Paris Agreement is a pivotal moment in the COP process. The COP presidency and member countries will deliver a comprehensive audit of implementation and global progress towards the goals set out in 2015; ultimately, is the world on course for limiting global warming to 1.5C?

While political momentum has grown in recent years we are facing a growing gap between ambitious climate targets and actual transformational implementation. Renewable energy will be the backbone of the new global energy system, that is clear from the roadmap laid out by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

Growth in renewables means many things beyond installing renewable energy – it means electrification, grid development, rapid coal phaseout and true decarbonisation of the transport, industry, and building sectors as well as many other areas that currently rely on polluting fossil fuels.

The Global Renewables Hub at COP28 in Dubai will be the centre of discussions and decisions that will help turn ambition into action and ensure the energy transition delivers the tripling of renewable energy by 2030 that will set us on the path to net zero.

Location: Global Renewables Hub, B2-17

COP28 Policy Agenda

Tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 will be the defining mission of this era, and the GRA - representing the joint industry voices of the energy transition - is ready to work with governments, the private sector, financing institutions and society to reach this goal and create a just, equitable and inclusive energy transition for all.
