IRENA

📢OUT NOW: New World Energy Transition Outlook puts #renewables-based electrification at the centre of the implementation agenda for the decade to 2035. The share of electricity in energy consumption would rise 📈from 23% today to 35% by 2035 & to more than 50% by 2050, transforming transport, buildings & industry. Renewable power, electrification, energy efficiency, power grids, storage & system flexibility, and sustainable fuels must advance together. Read how👉irena.org/Publications/2026/…

🔴 IRENA at #COP31Türkiye Next week at the Global Renewables Hub co-hosted with Global Renewables Alliance, @IRENA will spotlight pathways to accelerate #Renewables-based electrification in support of the @turkiyecop31 Presidency’s 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge. Other discussions will cover grids, clean cooking, green data centres, skills and youth innovation, with new initiatives. See the agenda: irena.org/Events/2026/Nov/IR…

Under @IRENA’s 1.5°C pathway, renewables would provide 78% of global electricity generation by 2035. See the roadmap supporting #COP31Türkiye’s push for 35% global electrification by 2035 👇 irena.org/Publications/2026/…

#Renewables are expanding at record pace📈, yet the #EnergyTransition is still moving too slowly. In the latest episode of All Things Renewable, @IRENA experts draw on insights from the World Energy Transitions Outlook 2026 to unpack what is holding progress back, from lagging grids and rising demand to insufficient efficiency gains, and why a system-wide approach is needed. 🎧 Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6pg…

⚡ #Renewables-based electrification can help meet growing energy needs while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Swipe through below to see why 👇

World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 shows #renewables could supply over 90% of global electricity by 2050, powering economies with clean electricity. At #COP31 next week, discussions will focus on turning that potential into progress. Learn more: irena.org/Publications/2026/…
