The report by IRENA details the development of a global Renewable Energy Roadmap (REMAP 2030) aimed at doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030, aligning with the UN Secretary-General's Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) Initiative's third objective.

Key sections outline the roadmap's steps:

1. Feasibility Study: Assesses the challenge of the target and explores global and regional pathways.
2. Gap Analysis: Involves collecting national data on renewable energy plans to quantify gaps.
3. Sectoral-Regional Analysis: Identifies priority actions in each sector to address identified gaps.

The analysis shows that doubling renewables is technically achievable but requires immediate global action across all regions and sectors. Key challenges include biomass sustainability, regional variations, and the need for enabling technologies like smart grids. Preliminary findings indicate significant potential in power generation, renewable heat, and biofuels, with biomass being a major component.

The REMAP 2030 Roadmap is designed as an inclusive, iterative process, relying on stakeholder collaboration to refine pathways and priorities. Stakeholder engagement, data collection, and regional expertise are crucial for its success, with a focus on identifying actionable items, timelines, and verification mechanisms.

Ultimately, REMAP 2030 provides a framework for guiding international renewable energy cooperation, tracking progress, and integrating global roadmaps, ensuring policymakers have tools to achieve SE4ALL's renewable energy goal.
