'First of a kind' global summit to tackle tripling renewables goal
Public and private sectors to discuss ambitious green power goal in New York
What’s being billed as a first-of-a-kind high-level summit on renewable energy will be held later this year in New York.
The Global Renewables Summit will be held alongside the 79th UN General Assembly to bring key players from the public and private sectors around the table to help plot a path to tripling the world’s green power base by 2030.
The summit was launched by the Global Renewables Alliance – which includes key renewable sector bodies such as the Global Wind Energy Council and Global Solar Council – and Bloomberg Philanthropies, along with, among others, the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), International Energy Agency, presidencies of COP28 and 29 and the governments of Barbados and Kenya.
Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance, said the event from 23-25 September will seek to “ignite a worldwide race to the top, accelerating action on finance, permits, grids, and supply chains to unleash the full potential of renewable”, with a particular emphasis on emerging and developing markets.
