“Riding the Wave of Change: How Global Renewable Summits are Empowering a Sustainable Future”

Posted on May 21, 2025 By Amanda White No Comments on “Riding the Wave of Change: How Global Renewable Summits are Empowering a Sustainable Future”

I still remember the day my grandfather, a fisherman from a small coastal village, came home with tears in his eyes. The village’s fishing grounds were barren, and the fishermen were struggling to make ends meet. The reason? Climate change was altering the ocean’s temperature and disrupting the delicate balance of marine life. This was 20 years ago, and I knew then that something had to change. Fast forward to today, and I’m proud to see the impact of global renewable summits in making a difference.

These summits bring together governments, corporations, and civil society to discuss the transition to renewable energy sources, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and mitigating the effects of climate change. The latest series of global renewable summits have been instrumental in driving this shift. For instance, the European Union’s ambitious climate and energy policy, set in motion at the 2019 European Renewable Energy Council, aims to make the bloc carbon neutral by 2050. Similarly, the first ever Ministerial Meeting on Renewable Energy took place in 2020 in Morocco, where governments committed to increasing the share of renewable energy in their national energy mixes.

The impact is being felt across the globe. In India, for example, the renewable energy sector has grown significantly, with solar energy capacity increasing by over 300% in the past five years alone. This growth has created new economic opportunities, reducing energy poverty, and improving air quality in urban areas. Similarly, in Africa, the African Renewable Energy Alliance has brought together governments, development partners, and the private sector to promote the development of renewable energy.

But what’s driving this unprecedented momentum? For one, the cost of renewable energy has plummeted in recent years, making it increasingly competitive with fossil fuels. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that the cost of solar energy has fallen by over 70% in the last decade. This decrease in cost has opened up new opportunities for developing countries to leapfrog traditional fossil fuel-based energy systems and transition directly to renewable energy.

Furthermore, the global renewable summits have created a sense of urgency and accountability among governments and corporations. The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, set a global target of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The summits have helped to galvanize efforts to meet this target, with countries and companies setting more ambitious renewable energy targets and committing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

However, there’s still a long way to go. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that, even with the current pace of growth, we’ll need to deploy renewable energy at a rate 5-6 times faster than today to meet the 1.5°C target. This requires sustained policy support, investment, and innovation. The global renewable summits provide a crucial platform for governments, corporations, and civil society to collaborate and drive progress towards a low-carbon future.

As I look back on my grandfather’s story, I’m heartened to see the impact of global renewable summits in driving meaningful change. These summits are not just a gathering of policymakers and industry leaders; they’re a call to action for all of us to work together towards a more sustainable future.
