The world came together at COP 28 in Dubai last December with a clear commitment to implement a clean energy transition. The EU led a global initiative to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency measures by 2030 and the resulting global stocktake, supporting these targets, charts a way forward for the next 6 years.

As an important milestone, the Global Renewables Summit, a 3-day event hosted in New York on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, is organised by the Global Renewables Alliance and Bloomberg Philanthropies, in partnership with the European Commission and the governments of Barbados and Kenya, the COP28 Presidency, the International Renewables Energy Agency, Sustainable Energy for All, and the Center on Global Energy Policy.

It will feature an opening high-level segment in the format of a leaders’ plenary with participation of heads of state and government, including a key note speech by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The EU Commissioner for energy, Kadri Simson, and the Commission Director-General for energy, Ditte Juul-Jørgensen will participate in thematic roundtables. The primary objective is to catalyse commitments from governments, multilateral development banks, the private sector, and philanthropic organisations towards enhancing renewable energy finance.

The event is the first-ever high-level public-private summit to discuss the progress, opportunities, and challenges of tripling renewable energy globally by 2030. It will bring together governments, private sector, philanthropy, international organisations, and academia demonstrating the collective momentum and drive to accelerate the pace and scale of the transition to renewable energy.
