The New Generation of Decision Makers (Funded to Abu Dhabi)

Set your calendars for the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) fifth Youth Forum, “The New Generation of Decision Makers.” This exciting event will take place in conjunction with the fourteenth session of the IRENA Assembly, which will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from April 15 to April 18, 2024.

A Gathering of Global Leaders

The IRENA Assembly serves as the ultimate decision-making authority for the agency, where Heads of State/Government, Ministers, and key stakeholders from around the world converge to discuss and advance the global energy transition. Against this backdrop, the 2024 IRENA Youth Forum aims to empower and connect young minds with influential leaders, government representatives, and IRENA experts.

Shaping the Future of Renewable Energy

Scheduled through a series of interactive sessions, open dialogues, and thematic workshops, the forum provides a unique space for young individuals, aged 16 to 35, to contribute their perspectives to the global energy discourse. By fostering connections and networks, the event seeks to strengthen the role of youth in advancing IRENA’s mission to accelerate renewable energy deployment, achieve climate objectives, and promote sustainable development.
