Description: 

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.

Join us for this webinar, where we will present the findings of the 2024 Climate Technology Progress Report. We will focus 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.
