How to Deliver Renewable Energy Action with IRENA’s Gauri Singh
Wind. Powering The Future.
In this episode of Powering the Future, Ben Backwell sits down with Gauri Singh, Deputy Director General of IRENA, for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to move the global energy transition from ambition to action.
From Gauri's experience of India’s early solar mission to the realities of financing global renewables, grid integration, electrification, and energy security, Gauri shares a grounded view of where progress is happening, and more cricially, where the hard work still lies.
They also discuss the role of multilateral cooperation, the impact of geopolitics, and why the Dubai COP’s tripling renewables target became such a powerful catalyst. A timely, strategic conversation about renewables, resilience, and the next phase of the transition.
