🌍 Clean energy is climate-dependent energy.
WMO–IRENA’s 2024 Year in Review shows climate variability and extremes are already shifting wind/solar/hydropower performance, and heat is driving demand up. Seasonal forecasts can help plan months ahead. ☀️

My path to climate finance was accidental but entirely predictable.
I sat down with @FinancialTimes to talk about how I got here, what @theGCF needs to stand for, and why I haven't lost hope.

To meet the #UAEConsensus goals, global energy intensity must improve at twice the current pace — from 2% to 4% annually by 2030 - @IRENA.
Electrifying transport with #renewables is a key lever to drive efficiency, cut emissions, and accelerate progress across the energy system globally. Learn more about the progress made toward key goals set at #COP28:

“The energy transition is unstoppable — but not yet fast enough or fair enough.” @antonioguterres
@WMO launched a new online training course:
WEATHER, WATER AND CLIMATE SERVICES FOR ENERGY
Learn how weather water and climate services support net-zero energy strategies
Just launched: WMO’s new online course on how weather, water, and climate services support the renewable energy transition.
Roberta Boscolo unpacks it all in her latest blog:

This year’s #WorldWaterDay builds on the momentum from the inaugural #WorldGlaciersDay, amplifying the vital messages of #Glaciers2025. It’s a chance to raise global awareness about the crucial role glaciers, snow, and ice play in the climate system.

Glaciers provide ecosystem services and freshwater to millions around the world. As they shrink, there are significant and direct impacts on the global climate and sustainable development.
