国际可再生能源机构成立15周年：加速全球能源转型与可持续发展
前言
2024年1月26日是联合国设立的首个国际清洁能源日。绿色光年青年代表团已于1月28日抵达阿布扎比，参加第十二届世界环境教育大会（WEEC）大会，大会发言嘉宾中正好有来自国际可再生能源协会的高级官员。让我们共同关注国际可再生能源协会和联合国首个国际清洁能源日未来的深远影响。
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), 26 January 2024 – Today marks the 15th anniversary of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). IRENA’s birthday coincides with the inaugural International Day of Clean Energy, declared by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) last year.
2024 年 1 月 26 日，是总部设在阿联酋阿布扎比的国际可再生能源协会（IRENA）成立 15 周年纪念日，同时，IRENA的生日恰逢联合国大会（UNGA）去年宣布的首个国际清洁能源日（International Day of Clean Energy）。
By adopting a resolution proclaiming the founding date of IRENA on 26 January as the International Day of Clean Energy, UNGA recognised the Agency’s leading role in accelerating the global, renewables-based energy transition.
联合国大会通过了一项决议，宣布 1 月 26 日为国际可再生能源机构成立日，并将其定为 "国际清洁能源日"，以此肯定该机构在加快全球可再生能源转型方面发挥的领导作用。
IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera said: “I congratulate IRENA and its Membership for their vital role in bringing renewable energy to the forefront of the global energy discourse. With 169 Members, IRENA stands as the global engine driving a global energy transition grounded in renewables that delivers on climate and development priorities. My thanks go to the IRENA staff for their tireless contribution over the last 15 years and to the UAE for hosting the Agency in Abu Dhabi.”
国际可再生能源机构总干事Francesco La Camera说："祝贺国际可再生能源机构及其成员在将可再生能源推向全球能源讨论的前沿方面所发挥的重要作用。国际可再生能源机构拥有 169 个成员，是推动全球能源转型的全球引擎，以可再生能源为基础，实现气候和发展优先事项。感谢国际可再生能源机构工作人员在过去15年中做出的不懈努力，感谢阿联酋在阿布扎比主办该机构的会议。”

La Camera added: “The establishment of an international day, largely thanks to the advocacy of the UAE and Panama as co-facilitators of the UN resolution, is a testament to the growing support for renewables seen worldwide. A fair, just, equitable, and urgent transition towards clean energy is essential to avoid the worst of climate effects and spur sustainable development.”
La Camera补充道："国际可再生能源日的设立在很大程度上要归功于作为联合国决议共同协调国的阿联酋和巴拿马的倡导，这证明全世界对可再生能源的支持日益增强。公平、公正、平等和紧急地向清洁能源过渡对于避免最恶劣的气候影响和促进可持续发展至关重要。”
Founded in 2009, IRENA supports nations in their adoption and deployment of renewable energy. Across its 15-year journey, IRENA has been instrumental in spearheading efforts to advance renewable energy policies, technologies, and knowledge-sharing at the national, regional and global levels.
国际可再生能源机构成立于 2009 年，支持各国采用和部署可再生能源。在其 15 年的发展历程中，国际可再生能源机构在国家、地区和全球层面推动可再生能源政策、技术和知识共享方面发挥了重要作用。

The joint honouring of IRENA’s anniversary and the first International Day of Clean Energy takes place on the back of the highly consequential COP28, which established a global goal to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, aligning with IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook (WETO). WETO charts a clear path toward 1.5°C by focusing on key priorities for the energy transition such as modernising and expanding infrastructure, establishing robust enabling policies, and enhancing institutional and human capacity.
国际可再生能源机构周年庆与首个国际清洁能源日的联合庆祝活动是在极具影响力的 COP28 会议之后举行的，该会议确立了到 2030 年将可再生能源能力提高两倍的全球目标，这与国际可再生能源机构的《世界能源转型展望》（WETO）相一致。世界能源转型展望》通过关注能源转型的关键优先事项（如基础设施的现代化和扩展、建立健全的扶持政策以及提高机构和人员能力），为实现 1.5°C 的目标描绘了一条清晰的道路。
As the global community begins to assess the outcomes of COP28, today’s commemoration offers a significant occasion to sustain the impetus for renewables and reaffirm international commitments towards a sustainable future.
在全球社会开始评估 COP28 成果之际，今天的纪念活动为持续推动可再生能源发展、重申国际社会对可持续未来的承诺提供了一个重要机会。
