Bonn, Germany - The world’s leading renewable energy groups have joined forces to ensure COP28 sees the world adopt a global commitment to renewable energy acceleration. The world needs renewables now and policymakers must have a clear-eyed focus on delivering them – this partnership will ensure that happens.

The Global Renewables Alliance and the International Renewable Energy Agency signed an MoU today to create a unified vision for a rapid, sustainable, affordable and inclusive energy transition.
