17 Leaders Unveil Joint Appeal for an Equitable Clean‑Energy Transition

Issued in New York during UN week, the appeal sets 2030 targets to drive investment toward a fair transition.

Overview

  • The statement calls for installing 11 terawatts of renewable capacity by 2030 while tripling clean power generation and doubling energy efficiency.
  • It proposes a Global Forum of Energy Transitions to coordinate governments, banks, companies and institutions to expand access to clean energy and reduce risk.
  • Signatories include Australia, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, the European Commission, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, the IEA and IRENA, plus several Caribbean and African nations.
  • The text flags low financing flows to many African and Asian countries and urges reforms to the global financial architecture to unlock investment.
  • The appeal frames COP30 in Belém in November as the next moment to convert national targets into concrete actions, with a call for public and private leaders to join the effort.
