This webinar presented the main findings from the 2024 Climate Technology Progress Report: “Unleashing Renewable Energy for Ambitious NDCs”.
This report provides an update on the progress made towards tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030.

COP 28 marked a significant shift towards ending the fossil fuel era, with countries pledging to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. The Global Stocktake revealed that urgent action is needed, as we are not on track to meet the 1.5°C target.

In 2025, Parties to the Paris Agreement will submit their second nationally determined contributions (NDCs). This will be a pivotal opportunity for countries to present ambitious strategies that harness the transformative power of renewable energy to meet both their climate and development objectives.

The webinar focused on the current state of renewable energy adoption in selected areas, as well as the feasibility and necessary enabling conditions for technology development and transfer at the sectoral and regional levels, all in the context of strengthening NDC ambitions.
