General Electric (GE) has signed a framework agreement with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to collaborate on a plan which will support both climate change and energy security.

The agreement was recently signed by Francesco La Camera, Director-General of IRENA, and Roger Martella, Chief Sustainability Officer of GE at the 27th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in Egypt.

Director-General of IRENA, Francesco La Camera, commented: “Any near-term shortfall in action will further reduce the chance of keeping 1.5°C within reach. We are acutely aware that scaling up renewable energy investments and decarbonization technologies is more important today than ever. Our collaboration with GE underlines how partnerships within the industry can – and must – serve our mission of supporting countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future.

The US Department of State’s Bureau of Energy Resources Assistant Secretary Geoffrey R. Pyatt stated, “The United States strongly supports private sector-led industrial decarbonization efforts, and we look forward to working closely with GE and other cutting edge industry players to advance these initiatives.”
