High-trust dialogue
mobilising, aligning and coordinating support for the clean energy transition
Collaborating
on key areas, including coal retirement, renewables deployment, energy efficiency and a just transition
Rapid Response Facility (RRF)
delivering prompt and demand-driven technical assistance to address transition barriers and unlock larger-scale, longer-term finance
What we have done so far
17
ETC national dialogues to identify energy transition priorities, shared challenges and sources of international support
10
ETC ministerials to raise confidence that we are able to deliver on shared challenges, secure ministerial buy-in for the energy transition agenda and foster senior-level, high-trust dialogue
100s
of smaller, focused strategy sessions and working groups to address and unblock specific technical challenges impeding the energy transition
30+
RRF technical assistance requests about energy efficiency, just transition and clean cooking with more in the pipeline across 11 ETC countries responded to by 25+ delivery partners
This resulted in significant clean energy commitments made by ETC partner countries, including through the COP26 Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement and the COP28 Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge.
2024 priorities
We aim to drive momentum for the clean energy transition in 2024 and beyond, delivering long-term impact in the global energy landscape.
We will continue to offer leadership on the power sector energy transition, supporting partner countries to realise their climate targets such as a just energy transition and COP28 commitments to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030.
Our core priorities for 2024 include:
Enhance political engagement and leadership
We plan to expand our political dialogues at ministerial, national and working levels. National dialogues are being considered by Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Morocco and the Philippines, with development partner meetings in India and Indonesia.
Increase international cooperation on the energy transition
We will continue to build and grow partnerships with international organisations, including Multilateral Development banks, to improve delivery of energy transition activities including private sector engagement.
Lead thematic knowledge sharing
We will lead thematic peer learning to accelerate the energy transition among partner countries, offering knowledge-sharing opportunities at national, regional or thematic dialogues, as well as events such as COPs.
Ensure the ETC remains part of the UNFCCC architecture
We will seek to extend our mandate to 2030 to align with the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge. This involves expanding membership and supporting more partner countries, along with promoting more ambitious nationally determined contributions, renewable targets and energy transition plans in line with the 1.5°C goal.
