The Global Renewables Hub

Baku, Azerbaijan, 11-22 November 2024

At COP29, GRA is partnering with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)  and our global members to co-host the Global Renewables Hub – a dedicated space for forward-thinking events, bilateral meetings, and impactful dialogues. Building on the momentum from COP28, where the world set the ambitious global target to triple renewable energy by 2030, this hub will drive the 3xRenewables agenda to secure ambitious, specific and actionable renewable targets in the national climate plans (NDCs). With over 200 organisations worldwide signing onto our NDC call, we’re rallying for more supporters to amplify this critical movement. 

In addition to focusing on renewable energy targets, the Hub will champion the Global Grids and Storage Pledge, emphasising the necessity of developing grids and storage solutions to support accelerated energy transition efforts. GRA’s delegation at COP29 is committed to creating lasting change, not just in setting targets but in translating them into action. The Global Renewables Hub will be a central platform for events and collaborative sessions that underscore the actions required to reach 3xRenewables. 

COP29 will be an unmissable opportunity to advance these targets, supporting the renewable energy revolution and a clean, secure, and just energy future.

Campaigns

NDC

COP29 provides a unique opportunity for world leaders to turn global ambition into national climate plans by setting ambitious, specific and actionable renewable targets in the NDCs.

Storage & Grids

A global target on energy storage and gris is critical to ensure a joint effort to ramp up the efforts grids and storage - two vital components of a clean, secure and just energy system.

Action

Action-oriented outcomes to move rapidly from global commitments to national policies and local projects must be at the core of all conversations at COP29. It's Time 4 Action.

Where we are

Despite unprecedented growth, the global effort to triple renewable energy by 2030 is falling short. The latest tracking report reveals a significant gap in progress, highlighting the need for an annual investment of $1.5 trillion to meet the UAE Consensus energy goals and keep the 1.5°C target within reach.

Governments have a pivotal opportunity to close this gap by setting ambitious, actionable plans in their upcoming NDCs and boosting investment in energy efficiency, storage, and grids. Urgent action is needed to ensure a clean, just and secure future for all.
