In the Blue Zone of COP31, the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) are hosting the Global Renewables Hub – a platform for collaboration, innovation, and delivery.
Over 40 events across two weeks will spotlight solutions and action to achieve the global target to ‘Double Down, Triple Up‘ by 2030 while Delivering #Electrify Now. Bringing together governments, industry, investors, and civil society, the Hub is turning ambition into implementation.
Ahead of COP31, the Global Renewables Alliance amplified its Double Down, Triple Up. Electrify Now campaign, calling for faster action on renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency and renewable powered electrification. With energy security, competitiveness and economic growth at the heart of its message, GRA highlighted the policies, investment and collaboration needed to turn global energy targets into reality.
During New York Climate Week, GRA and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) released the 2026 edition of their joint Delivering on the UAE Consensus report. The report tracks global progress towards tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency improvements by 2030, highlighting where progress is being made, where gaps remain and the urgent steps needed to accelerate action ahead of COP31.
Through the Global Renewables Hub at COP31, GRA and IRENA will bring together governments, industry leaders and international partners to turn ambition into action, strengthening collaboration, unlocking investment and accelerating the deployment of renewables, grids, storage and renewable powered electrification.
Building on the global electrification target announced by the COP31 Presidency in June, the 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge, launched during Climate Week NYC, calls for electricity’s share of global final energy consumption to reach 35% by 2035. The pledge complements global renewable energy and energy efficiency goals, calling for stronger grids, storage and investment to accelerate electrification across economies.
GRA is contributing to this global ambition through Electrify Now, a movement bringing together businesses, think tanks, civil society and governments to accelerate renewable powered electrification and fast-track a renewable, electric future.
