IRENA to Hold Investment Forum in 2021 (Director General)

Adu Dhabi – The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) will hold next year the first edition of the Investment Forum, meant to foster investment into the transition to renewable energy, IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera said on Thursday.

“We are going to organize, starting from the next year — we cannot do this before because of the pandemic — our Investment Forum and I encourage the Russian organizations and the others to join the platform,” La Camera said during the online Risk Management in Energy-2020 International Conference, organized by Russia.

He stressed that the upcoming event is part of the Climate Investment Platform, launched by IRENA and the United Nations last year with the goal of linking the government and private sector in order to scale up climate action and promote investment into renewable energy.
