REN21

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

🌎 Where do renewables connect to the Global Goal on Adaptation being negotiated at #COP30?

Explore how #renewables are not only cutting emissions, but also driving adaptation and #resilience around the world - and unpack what’s at stake as countries begin negotiating the #GGA.

@irena-official.bsky.social @iisd.org @ieefainstitute.bsky.social @renewablesgrid.bsky.social @canclimateaction.bsky.social and #IUCN

Together, we are driving the systemic changes needed to move towards a renewables-based economy for prosperous societies.

Take a look at our #COP30 events, put together in collaboration 🤝 with our network and members.

Bringing diverse voices in key conversations to explore what is needed to unlock the new renewable energy era, show how renewables are central to adaptation, energy security and resilient economies.

Read our new Brief "Renewables for Climate Adaptation and Resilience" : www.ren21.net/wp-content/u...

🌍 Renewables are still missing from key global adaptation tracking frameworks — including the draft Global Goal on Adaptation indicators to be debated at #COP30.

📘 Read our new Strategic Intelligence Brief to discover what’s needed for COP30 to truly deliver on adaptation → link in comments

These sessions will explore how renewables can power economies that are secure, resilient, and rooted in collaboration. They will highlight practical pathways to integrate renewables into adaptation strategies, strengthen national energy systems, and align global ambition with local action.
