BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 23. The International
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) calls on Turkmenistan to accelerate
the transition to a sustainable future, Director-General of IRENA
Francesco La Camera said during a roundtable event on the occasion
of the International Clean Energy Day at ADA University, Trend reports.
According to him, regional cooperation is of particular
importance for Central Asia.
"The region's growing energy demand and abundant renewable
energy resources create a unique opportunity to transition to a
sustainable, low-carbon future and reduce over-reliance on fossil
fuels. Realizing these opportunities requires a solid basis for
regional cooperation and investment mobilization. That's why IRENA
has launched the 'Accelerated Partnership for Central Asia' (APCA)
initiative at COP29. We are trying to unite international and
regional partners around four key pillars of cooperation," the
director-general explained.
He observed that Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and
Uzbekistan are currently collaborating.
"We call on Turkmenistan to join them and accelerate its path to
a sustainable future," La Camera added.
A roundtable discussion and an award ceremony of the Clean
Energy Center of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Clean
Energy Hackathon 2026 are being held in Baku on the occasion of the

The event features a roundtable discussion and an award ceremony
