Delivering on the UAE Consensus: tracking progress toward tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030

This report is the first edition of this series and this year brings together IRENA, the UAE Consensus/COP28 Presidency, the COP29 Presidency, GRA, the Federal Government of Brazil and the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The report finds that across almost all metrics – excepting Solar PV capacity growth – the world has fallen further behind the trajectory of renewable power capacity additions and energy efficiency improvements required to meet the UAE Consensus goals. However, it builds upon the recommendations provided in the 2023 report by offering key actions for policy makers to enable a course-correction that will re-align the energy transition with the Paris Agreement goals and the 2030 targets.
