BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 23. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) calls on Turkmenistan to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future, Director-General of IRENA Francesco La Camera said during a roundtable event on the occasion of the International Clean Energy Day at ADA University, Trend reports.
According to him, regional cooperation is of particular importance for Central Asia.
"The region's growing energy demand and abundant renewable energy resources create a unique opportunity to transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future and reduce over-reliance on fossil fuels. Realizing these opportunities requires a solid basis for regional cooperation and investment mobilization. That's why IRENA has launched the 'Accelerated Partnership for Central Asia' (APCA) initiative at COP29. We are trying to unite international and regional partners around four key pillars of cooperation," the director-general explained.
