UAE is fully committed to render IRENA's mission a success: Abdullah
Abu Dhabi, Jan 18, 2010 (WAM)- The admission of 138 signatories to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) membership in its first year of age demonstrates the true international commitment to adopt renewable energy in a broader sense in both developed and developing countries alike, UAE Foreign Minister HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said yesterday.
“Today the world has an international agency that is fully dedicated to diversify the use of renewable energy ............. an international agency that takes care of renewable energy and seeks to deliver support to countries of the world for paving the way for sustainable use of renewable energy, widen the scale of using this energy across the world and consider all available options of investment and technology on renewable energy applications,” Sheikh Abdullah told the Third Session of the Preparatory Commission for the agency hosted by Abu Dhabi yesterday.
“In view of current challenges posed by the climate change phenomenon and reality of conventional energy industry, it is quite clear before how is it important to mobilizing international efforts for the sake of bolstering the world character of IRENA and empowering it to deliver its aspired mission,” Sheikh Abdullah added.
“As a major oil producer and host of IRENA seat in Abu Dhabi, the UAE is adding its voice to other countries to send out a message that we all believe in it and which says “We can't rely on the energy of the past to make prosperity in the future.”
“We all know that we should pursue the search for clear energy solutions and implement energy efficiency measures to meet future demands. As we possess the ideal components of this approach, we are in a desperate need for joint action to accelerate paces of founding IRENA's headquarters, and liaison and support offices in other countries.
“The UAE is committed to provide full support to IRENA to enable it deliver its mission of securing support of what is related to renewable energy applications, assist countries to benefit from sustainable development and transfer and share expertise in technology and knowledge,” the UAE Foreign Minister affirmed.
Sheikh Abdullah said “Hosting IRENA seat is a rich experiment that goes beyond the winning of that race to cultivating and building fraternal relations with many countries I have toured a head of voting for selecting the host country,” he said.
Sheikh Abdullah paid tributes to all countries that offered support for the UAE efforts to host the IRENA venue.
According to him, the experiments of countries he has visited on sustainability and renewable energy provided the UAE with an additional momentum to maximise its efforts along with those of the international community in commitment to advance this vital sector.
Scores of models across the world, he explained, have proven that use of renewable energy has become a reality on the ground.
“This is a clear signal to the determination of countries to boost world renewable energy production and obtain a good slice of the cake,” he said.
