\n\t          “We are determined to work together as advocates and implementers of renewable energy at global level,” said Altmaier. “We in Germany do not stand alone with our Energiewende<\/a>, but are a part of a strong group of leaders.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t          The Club is intended to supplement and support the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)<\/acronym><\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t        “Renewable energy is not only a good way of combating climate change, it also contributes to prosperity and supply security throughout the world,” said Altmaier. “Especially at a time of growing energy demand, this is the attraction of renewable energy for countries all over the world.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t        The Club members agreed to unite in putting renewable energy on the political agenda in the future. At the next UN<\/abbr> climate conference, the Club plans to jointly present the advantages of renewable energy for prosperity, climate, and sustainable development. As a network and driver of ideas, the Club also aims to generate impetus for projects promoting the global transformation of the energy system.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA Closer Look At The Renewables Club<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t        While the formal foundation of a club of pro–renewable energy nations did not come with any binding targets nor joined projects, it does send out some very powerful messages. One of the most important messages is propably the fact that 10 diverse nations publicly declare that the world has to move to a renewable future at this moment in time to deal with many of the existential challenges of our time.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\tFrom the official “Renewables Club – Communiqué<\/a>“:<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tWe recognize that, with the global energy demand predicted to rise  tremendously in the years to come, countries are facing investment and infrastructure decisions on a scale that will define the development of generations to come. We also recognize that the current energy system   as it stands right now poses risks to the climate, environment, poverty eradication, energy security and development, in particular in most vulnerable countries.<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tWe are convinced that renewable energy, including transmission and interconnection infrastructures, is an essential part of the solution to the existential challenges we are facing and the means to transform the path to sustainability. We stress that renewable energy has entered  into a virtuous circle of falling costs, increasing deployment and accelerated technological progress, renewable energy technologies now representing economical choices in an increasing number of countries and regions.<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t        What is even more impressive than the refreshingly clear language are some of the stats and facts surrounding the Renewables Club, even in its current ten-member set up:<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
