    I welcome #COP31 Presidency's call for a global electrification target building on @IRENA’s roadmap which suggests electrification reaching 35% by 2035. We stands ready to leverage our global membership in support of a successful @turkiyecop31. ➡️bit.ly/4garcK1

    We just released @IRENA’s new costs report, showing #renewables are increasingly the cheapest source of new electricity. The message is clear: The case for new & much of the existing coal power generation is environmentally & economically unjustifiable. bit.ly/373h14J

    #Renewables are multiplier solutions to build climate-proof energy systems, improve energy security & universal access. I am humbled to have been appointed for a new term by @IRENA members. I will work tirelessly to realise our new mission that takes the Agency towards 2030.

    We simply cannot #3xRenewables without the infrastructure to support it. I fully endorse #COP29’s Energy Initiatives and urge countries to rally behind them to set the right conditions for the transformative change we urgently need.

    Saudi Arabia is an important energy player that recognizes a rapidly evolving energy landscape. Excellent meeting w/ @MoEnergy_Saudi Minister H.E. Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud in Riyadh. The Kingdom is making bold moves in the right direction, and we are here to support.

    Proud to present @IRENA’s geopolitics report on critical materials to @UN SG @antonioguterres. Securing diverse, sustainable access to these critical materials is essential to decentralise supply chains and sustain the acceleration of the energy transition.

    .@IRENA’s World #EnergyTransitions Outlook is out! Our energy system can be aligned with the 1.5°C climate goal by prioritising technologies largely available today. They can be deployed at scale by 2030 & make a meaningful shift toward #netzero by 2050: bit.ly/3vonbbj

    Delighted to attend the #ItaliaAfrica Summit in Rome. Advancing the #energytransition is at the heart of our ‘Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa’. @IRENA will closely work w/ the Italian @G7 Presidency to expand #renewables for the benefit of Africa’s citizens.

    Honoured to receive delegation heads from around the world for my first @IRENA's Assembly as Director-General. #IRENA10A will discuss current challenges in the #energytransformation & ways in which IRENA can lead in addressing them.

    I welcome that tripling of #renewables & doubling energy efficiency by 2030 has been recognized by #COP28 as priority #climateaction. This is monumental. @IRENA believe it's the most realistic course-correction to urgently overcome systematic barriers stemming from fossil fuels.
    The moment history was made. 
Everyone came together from day one. Everyone united, everyone acted and everyone delivered.
