Brussels, 14th June 2024: In response to the G7 communiqué, the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA), released a statement to increase ambition and concrete action on achieving the global renewables target by 2030.
“We welcome the G7’s continued support for a global tripling of renewable energy and a sixfold increase in storage by 2030, however, they have fallen short by not committing to triple their domestic renewable energy capacity,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance.
“It is now time for action. The G7 countries need to show leadership in the run up to COP29 and present ambitious NDCs. They need to include sector specific targets aligned with the tripling goal and concrete action plans, combined with policy frameworks to get it built. The renewables industries are ready to deliver. It is now time for the G7 countries to help unleash the full potential of a clean, secure and just transition,” he added.
GRA statement:
The Global Renewables Alliance ( GRA) represents the leading international industry players and provides a unified renewable energy voice. Comprised of founding members the Global Wind Energy Council, the Global Solar Council, the International Hydropower Association, the International Geothermal Association, the Long Duration Energy Storage Council and the Green Hydrogen Organisation, the Alliance aims to increase ambition and accelerate the uptake of renewable energy across the world. #3xRenewables.
