The International Renewable Energy Agency as a driver of the international energy transformation? Report from the IRENA Assembly with Monica Oliphant and Stefan Gsänger

The International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA has become a key
player on the international level, 15 years after its foundation
in Bonn. WWEA was one of the first proponents and active
supporters of the initiative to create IRENA and has been working
closely with the agency since then.


The 14th IRENA Assembly has just been concluded in Abu Dhabi, and
Monica Oliphant as well as Stefan Gsänger attended the event in
person. They talk about the current work of IRENA, about how WWEA
has been able to intensify its ties with IRENA and especially how
the Coalition for Action works – IRENA’s branch to work with
non-governmental stakeholders.
