26 January 2024 is the first International Day of Clean Energy! Clean energy isn't just about a greener planet; it's a lifeline for millions without reliable power. Global progress on the rollout of renewable energy is promising, but still short of achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 by 2030. The Global Stocktake on SDG7 by the UN General Assembly in April will be an important checkpoint. It's time for bold steps and big investments in clean energy! #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CleanEnergyDay

🚀🌍 The Road to Net Zero: Insights from TYNDP 2024 🌱⚡ The recently released TYNDP 2024 scenarios by ENTSOE and ENTSOG outline a comprehensive pathway towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Our scenarios emphasize the necessity for significant increases in renewable and decarbonized energy capacities to meet the EU’s ambitious climate goals. By 2030, we aim for a 42.5% renewable energy share, potentially reaching 45.4% with further optimizations. Meeting these targets requires collaborative efforts across sectors and innovative solutions. Together, we can pave the way to a sustainable and carbon-neutral future! What do you think of this trajectory? 🌿🔋 #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #ClimateGoals #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

🌍🌱 Big News in Climate Action! 📢 Hon Hai (Foxconn) has just received validation from the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for its ambitious science-based net-zero targets! 🎉 We submitted carbon reduction commitment to the global initiative in 2021 and received our first validation on near-term targets in 2023. Now our overall net-zero target as well as long-term targets are approved! Our zero-carbon emission path prioritizes carbon reduction in operations (≥3%). We build on-site renewable energy power stations (≥5%), give priority to carbon reduction in our own operations and then combine it with other carbon reduction strategies, such as introducing renewable electricity (≤82%) and carbon sinks and carbon-negative technologies (≤10%), among measures, to actively implement various action plans to move towards the net zero goal.

🌎Take action for our planet! SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy 🌎 This month we spotlight SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, which outlines that to ensure access to energy for all, we must accelerate electrification, increase investments in renewable energy sources and invest in improving electricity grids. ☀️ Why is SDG 7 Crucial? 1️⃣ Global Progress: SDG 7 calls for universal access to reliable energy as access to electricity and clean cooking fuels has improved in many parts of the world, yet 675 million people are yet to be connected to the grids 2️⃣ International Cooperation: SDG 7 emphasizes international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology 3️⃣ Mobilize Resources: SDG 7 calls for the expansion of infrastructure and upgrading technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries. 4️⃣ Global Energy Mix: SDG 7 focuses on significantly increasing the proportion of renewable energies in the global energy mix. Together, let's #ActNow to pursue sustainable and reliable infrastructure for all people! 🌎⚡️ #SDG7 #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #TogetherForOurPlanet #SDGLive

#AEEE #IIF The world transitions towards a net zero future, deploying low CARBON levers and energy sustainability measures is crucial. 🌏 Leveraging technologies, policies, and strategies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy.

Learn about the critical importance of renewable energy investment in achieving net zero emissions. A recent report by Ren21 highlights the shortfall in necessary investments, hindering progress in combating climate change.

Renewable energy is not only an abundant and high-potential industry but also now necessary for the energy transition. With the growing recognition of the detrimental impacts of fossil fuels, many companies are moving toward cleaner energy sources, acknowledging the urgency to act before environmental damage becomes irreversible. These transitions, however, need to be accelerated and expanded in order to achieve the UN’s SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and align with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

🌟 Powering Progress with Affordable and Clean Energy 💡 Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) is pivotal in our quest for a sustainable future. It aims to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy. With millions still lacking electricity and relying on polluting fuels, SDG 7 is critical for human development and environmental sustainability. Investing in renewable energy like solar and wind not only reduces emissions but also drives economic growth and enhances energy security. To achieve SDG 7, we must prioritize investments in clean energy infrastructure, promote energy efficiency, and foster international cooperation. Let's work together to power progress, unlock the potential of affordable and clean energy, and build a brighter future for all. #SDG7 #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability Suzanna ElMassah

The United Nations designated 26 January as the International Day of Clean Energy, a day to rally support and advance a fair and equitable transition to clean energy for the global community. A just and inclusive clean energy transition reduces greenhouse gas emissions, fights climate change, and helps the under-privileged access affordable, reliable and #sustainable power. At #REDEX, we are committed to accelerating the world’s transition to clean and #renewable energy. We developed and are operating a one-stop ecosystem for the renewable energy certificate (REC) market. #RECs are versatile, secure and easily scalable tools to drive the shift towards renewable energy. Through buying RECs, companies not only signal their use of renewable energy, but may also catalyse new renewable energy infrastructure. In particular, investment in off-grid renewable energy projects unlocks health benefits, educational resources, and economic opportunities for disadvantaged groups, building self-sustaining and resilient communities. REDEX is excited to be part of the global movement of impactful #decarbonisation and sustainable development. We look forward to working with like-minded partners to bring about #change for a greener and more sustainable Earth for present and future generations!
