📣 Workshop Bridging Regions: Addressing Climate Change and Renewable Energy Challenges - Opportunities in EU, Central Asia, and the South Caucasus 📅 When: We 04-09-2024, 09:30 - 17:00 🗺 Where: House of Connections, University of Groningen The European Green Deal, which aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, underscores the importance of increasing the share of renewable energy in the EU’s energy mix to at least 32% by 2030. Collaboration with the South Caucasus and Central Asia is crucial for achieving these targets due to the regions' significant untapped renewable energy resources. Join us for a workshop to discuss the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on the geopolitical energy landscape, and explore the EU's energy strategy, renewable energy potential in the South Caucasus and Central Asia, and the 'Green Energy Corridor' energy security strategy. This event is a collaboration between the Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate, The Groningen Research Institute for the Study of Culture (#ICOG), and the The Hague Research Institute for Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus & Central Asia.

A few months ago Mahmudul Haque vai and I participated in a SDG Policy Challenge competition arrange by Global Gatekeepers with the help of International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and the Swedish Government. Recently we got a certificate of participation in that competition. We have selected the top 15 teams from among 970 teams. Here we learned a lot about SDG especially renewable energy which will help us go further with SDG. #SDG #policy #competition #renewable_energy

SEN has released eleven policy recommendations that together chart a clear way forward for the clean energy transition in Western Australia. They are the product of 18 months of research and energy modelling by SEN, as well as nearly 30 meetings with policymakers, stakeholders and experts since early 2022. We have shared them with Premier Hon. Roger Cook and Energy Minister Hon. Reece Whitby, among others. Over the next week, we’ll be sharing them with you. Dear WA State Government, #SENRecommends: 1. Introducing a legislated target of 43% emissions reduction by 2035 as part of the provisions in the Western Australia 2023 Climate Change Bill. 2. Announcing a target of 82% renewable energy by 2030 for the South-West Interconnected System (SWIS) noting that this aligns with the Commonwealth target. Rationale: Setting targets provides clear measurable goals and also helps develop confidence with all stakeholders that the State Government is committed to the clean energy transition. We recognise that there is more power generated outside of the SWIS than on the SWIS: this generation could also be covered by separate targets as required. 

With input from Impax’s Chris Dodwell and Shahbano Soomro, The Energy Transitions Commission recently published a policy whitepaper, Solidifying the EU’s leadership in the global energy transition. The coming months will be crucial in shaping the next phase of #EUClimateAction – and this paper presents a look-back at the state of the energy transition for Europe and key recommendations for the next five-year agenda of the EU Commission.

The Meloni Government delivered the new PNIEC Italy, the Integrated National Plan for Energy and Climate, to the European Commission on 1st July 2024. 📌 The document, in its 491 pages, revises and updates the text approved in 2019, trying to raise the energy-environmental commitments for 2030.  🔎 This is a necessary revision in light of what is required by the new Community rules, but which is not convincing to the utmost. Both in terms of emissions and renewable energy.  👉 To understand the scope of national commitments poured into the new PNIEC 2024, we must take a few steps backward. ⬇️ Link in the first comment #RinnovabiliNET #environmnent #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainablity #sustainabledevelopment

The transition to renewable energy can and must benefit all regardless of their financial status and allow the installation of clean energy systems in homes across SA. That was the key finding of a high-level report, commissioned by the Presidential Climate Commission and compiled by a Nelson Mandela University development studies team led by Prof Janet Cherry.

Today the Climate Council released important findings from a research project into how Australia can cut its emissions by 75% by 2030. Clean Energy Investor Group is proud to support the Council’s findings and the crucial need for Australia to quickly transition to renewable energy technologies. As outlined in the report, significantly cutting our nation’s emissions can only be done with policies in place that encourage investors to undertake clean energy projects without major risk. Greater investment in the sector will also lead to positive climate mitigation impacts and more affordable electricity for consumers, and position Australia as a leader in the global transition away from fossil fuels. Clean Energy Investor Group is proud to be advocating for policies that incentivise investors to take on clean energy projects – this support is essential to our nation’s successful energy transition! #CEIG #ClimateCouncil #energytransition
