📰 Having surpassed their 2030 #renewable capacity target 5 years early, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) set a new goal of 30 GW by 2035 at #COP31Türkiye today. The new SIDS Lighthouses Initiative target aims to strengthen energy security, resilience & access to affordable, reliable electricity. Read more: https://t.co/AfR1CN5rQ1

.@IRENA is honoured to welcome Queen Mary of Denmark & Samira Nawa, 🇩🇰 Minister for @KlimaMin at the Global Renewables Hub, #COP31Türkiye during a session focused on offshore wind. Organised by the Global Offshore Wind Alliance, the session highlighted real-world progress of offshore wind deployment against the 2 000 GW by 2050 global target.

GOWA is also pleased to welcome #Turkiye & #Senegal as new members, adding more countries in the efforts to strengthen offshore wind's role in scaling renewable power & advance climate action.

.@IRENA released a new report 'Scaling Domestic Biogas to Meet Cooking Energy Demand and Climate Ambitions' today at #COP31 during a session focused on transforming waste into modern cooking energy.

As biogas gains importance in improving access to clean cooking, it's crucial for countries & partners to identify financing opportunities & business models to move biogas from local projects to sustained scale. See the report: https://t.co/rgI8ZyqqPI

At #COP31Türkiye, @IRENA & the @turkiyecop31 Presidency launched the Global Geothermal Ambition 2050, setting a collective, voluntary goal to increase geothermal energy supply twelvefold by 2050. IRENA stands ready to support governments in realising this ambition.

COP31 kapsamında, Uluslararası Yenilenebilir Enerji Ajansı (IRENA) ile Antalya’da düzenlediğimiz Küresel Jeotermal Taahhüdü Üst Düzey Etkinliği’nde, 2050 Küresel Jeotermal Hedefi’ni uluslararası kamuoyuyla paylaştık.

Dünya genelinde jeotermal enerji arzını 2050 yılına kadar 12 katına çıkarmayı, bugün 16 gigavat seviyesinde olan küresel jeotermal elektrik kurulu gücünü 193 gigavata ulaştırmayı öngören bu hedef, enerji dönüşümünde yeni bir ölçeği ortaya koyuyor.

Türkiye olarak 1,8 gigavatlık jeotermal kurulu gücümüzle dünyada dördüncü sıradayız. Elektrik üretiminden bölgesel ısıtmaya, seracılıktan termal turizme kadar geniş bir alanda değerlendirdiğimiz jeotermal potansiyelimizi daha da ileri taşımakta kararlıyız. Millî Enerji 2040 kapsamında jeotermal ve biyokütlede yaklaşık 6 gigavatlık kurulu güce ulaşmayı hedefliyoruz.

Yerin altındaki bu büyük potansiyeli daha fazla üretime, daha güvenli enerjiye ve daha güçlü ekonomilere dönüştürebiliriz. Tüm ortaklarımızı, 2050 hedefini birlikte hayata geçirmeye davet ediyoruz.

The EU has joined a new global pledge on geothermal energy at the #COP31 talks in Antalya 🇹🇷

'The Global Geothermal Ambition 2050' aims to collectively scale up geothermal energy supply for power and heat to 12 times 2025 levels by 2050 ⚡

There is an economic opportunity in reducing, reusing & recycling end-of-life renewable technologies.
@IRENA estimates that recovered materials from end-of-life solar panels could generate over $20 bn annually by 2050. See how circular economy can generate socio-economic benefits: https://t.co/8VpGb2R8dU

[Francesco La Camera @flacamera]

Delighted our analysis contributed to the 35-by-35 Pledge, championed by @turkiyecop31. Particularly pleased that @IRENA will lead D-GRIDs, the infrastructure pillar of the Global Electrification Initiative, boosting grids & accelerating electrification

[IRENA @IRENA]

Co-organised by @IRENA & the @turkiyecop31 Presidency, this high-level session brought together ministers & key stakeholders to identify challenges & opportunities in implementing the '35 by 35' Global Electrification Pledge.

���Drawing on IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario, discussions focused on the policy, financing & infrastructure measures needed to accelerate electrification across end-use sectors. Learn more: https://t.co/TtC4BvHf3Z

[IRENA @IRENA]

Delivering the @turkiyecop31 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge requires stronger distribution grids. @IRENA estimates grid investment must reach a cumulative USD 10 trillion by 2035. At #COP31, Türkiye-led Global Initiative for Resilient & Intelligent Distribution Grids puts focus on identifying grid investment, project needs & facilitating access to finance.

⚡️Energy & Transport take centre stage on Day 2 of #COP31Türkiye.
@@IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 shows why renewables-based electrification is central to the next phase of the #EnergyTransition, connecting renewable power to end-use sectors including transport. Explore the pathways: https://t.co/7ZkDBc0w6g

[IRENA @IRENA]

In support of @turkiyecop31 Presidency’s 35-by-35 goal, @IRENA Director-General @flacamera calls for faster #renewables-based electrification & stronger international cooperation to advance the 1.5°C pathway.

🔓 Unlocking the decade of electrification at #COP31Türkiye!
Drawing on @IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook 2026, discussions highlighted #renewables-based electrification as a key pillar of climate action, exploring its transformative role across buildings, transport & industry, alongside digitalisation’s contribution to power system flexibility.

[IRENA @IRENA]

💡In sub-Saharan #Africa, 15% of healthcare facilities have no electricity & only 40% report a reliable supply. Decentralised #RenewableEnergy can help close this gap, but systems need sound planning & financing. New @IRENA report provides a toolkit that guides the design, implementation & scaling of healthcare electrification in developing countries: https://t.co/e5QSP73pHK

📢The Global Renewables Hub is NOW OPEN at #COP31Türkiye.

Jointly hosted by @IRENA & the Global Renewables Alliance, the Hub brings policy and industry together to advance progress on #Renewables-based electrification in support of the 35-by-35 Pledge & move climate commitments into implementation. See you at the Hub⤵️
