The Foundation of an International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)

Growing global energy consumption, constantly rising prices for energy and partly disastrous impacts of climate change allude clearly to a rapid expansion of renewable energies worldwide. In commission of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Adelphi supports the ambitions of the German Federal Government to found an International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). As a first step, a preparatory conference with 170 participants from 60 countries took place in the German Foreign Office in Berlin from 9 -11 April 2008. The actual founding conference is planned for November 2008. Further information is available at www.irena.org
