The synergies and opportunities for #geothermal in the mining sector are vast. We are grateful to the #OMC and Aymone Schendel for the platform to highlight what can be done with geothermal in the #mining space and links between #ESG and the #UN #SDGs. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Cherwell Boathouse for hosting the event and to Charlotte Knee Photography for the fantastic record of the day.

⭕ NEW: Industry leaders highlight key policy actions needed to deliver global #renewables target GRA’s new Action Agenda on #3xRenewables is out, providing a detailed set of policy recommendations to ensure the full potential of renewables is realised, and, crucially, the tripling renewable energy goal set at #COP28 is delivered. There is an 80% risk that the 1.5℃ limit will be exceeded in one of the next five years, highlighted António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, in yesterday’s speech. Achieving the global renewables target is now crucial to steer back onto the safe pathway agreed in Paris in 2015, but current national policies risk falling short of this target. Ambition alone will not build turbines, install solar panels and develop energy storage. It’s #Time4Action. "The renewables industry stands ready to deliver, having consistently shattered annual installation records despite significant headwinds and constraints. In 2023 alone, renewable capacity surged by 36 percent,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of GRA.  “However, at the current pace, renewable capacity will fall far short of the COP28 commitment, taking the world further off the 1.5 degree pathway and missing huge opportunities for socio-economic development, energy security, green industrialisation and affordable access to clean energy.” GRA’s Action Agenda highlights that achieving 3xRenewables by 2030 is possible, with: ⭕ #Action4Finance: Mobilising USD 10 trillion in renewables investment, especially in emerging markets. ⭕ #Action4SupplyChains: Enhancing supply chain resilience and sustainability. ⭕ #Action4Permits: Accelerating permitting processes to expedite project development. ⭕ #Action4Grids: Optimising and expanding grid infrastructure to integrate renewable energy.

🗓️ Global Renewable Alliance's new action agenda sets out the route to achieve the global #3xRenewables target. Today, IGA, as part of the Global Renewables Alliance, launched a new action agenda with recommendations guiding policy action to deliver on the global commitment to triple renewable energy by 2030. "We are big supporters of calling for renewable energy policies that focus on the end-use sectors, beyond electricity. With this strong call to action, we are convinced we get more traction in one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise: the heating and cooling space," said Marit Brommer, CEO of IGA and Vice-Chair of GRA. The agenda highlight's that it's #Time4Action on: #Finance: Mobilising USD 10 trillion in renewables investment, especially in emerging markets. #SupplyChains: Enhancing supply chain resilience and sustainability. #Permits: Accelerating permitting processes to expedite project development. #Grids: Optimising and expanding grid infrastructure to integrate renewable energy.
