"A New World: The Geopolitics of Energy Transformation" The wait if over for this milestone from the IRENA Global Commission on the #Geopolitics of #Energy Transformation, launched in Abu Dhabi at #IRENA9A with Adnan Z. Amin & Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson & Andris Piebalgs geopoliticsofrenewables.org/Report

.Adnan Z. Amin legacy: 160 IRENA members & 23 accession countries, recognised competence & the rise of renewable & demise of fossil - coal,oil, gas, nuclear - will shift power relations. IRENA made a great study on #GeopoliticsOfRenewables - R. Andreas Kraemer Ecologic Institute #IRENA9A
