we face monumental challenges: global warming, the waning 
of natural resources, explosions in population growth, increa-
sing energy demand, rising energy prices, and unequal distri-
bution of energy sources. All of these factors(a) contribute to 
the urgent need(b) to transform the energy sector(c) - which 
primarily relies on fossil fuels(d) - to one that uses renewable 
energies and energy efficient measures(e).
Renewable energy is one of the key solutions to the current 
challenges facing the world’s energy future. Many countries 
already foster the production and use of renewable energy 
through different approaches on a political and economic level 
because they recognise the many benefits renewable energy 
provides. The current use of renewable energy, however, 
is still limited in spite of its vast potential. The obstacles are 
manifold and include: lengthy permitting procedures, import 
tariffs and technical barriers, insecure financing of renewable 
energy projects, and insufficient awareness of the opportuni-
ties for renewable energy.
This is where the International Renewable Energy Agency 
(IRENA) can play a role. A major task of the Agency is to develop 
comprehensive solutions to the above- mentioned challenges, 
such as fostering all types of renewable energy, and to con-
sider various renewable energy policies at the local, regional, 
and national levels.
IRENA was officially established in Bonn on 26 January 
2009. To date 142 states and the European Union signed the 
Statute of the Agency; amongst them are 48 African, 37 Euro-
pean, 33 Asian, 15 American and 9 Australia/Oceania States. 
Mandated by these governments worldwide, IRENA will promo-
te the widespread and increased adoption and sustainable use 
of all forms or renewable energy. Acting as the global voice for 
renewable energies, IRENA will facilitate access to all relevant 
renewable energy information, including technical data, eco-
nomic data and renewable resource potential data. IRENA will 
share experiences on best practices and lessons learned regar-
ding policy frameworks, capacity-building projects, available 
finance mechanisms and energy efficiency measures related to 
renewable energy projects.
In fulfilling its work, IRENA considers specific environmen-
tal, economic, and socio-cultural conditions of its Members. The 
active involvement of stakeholders from the energy industry, 
academia, civil society, and other institutions is very important 
for the Agency to implement successful and enduring policy 
solutions. Therefore, it intends to regularly consult and 
cooperate with organisations and networks already engaged in 
the field of renewable energy in order to complement and pool 
their work resources, thus creating added value.
