Ambition to Action: Accelerating the Solar Energy Transition

From its inaugural pavilion at COP27, with 26 sessions, 130+ speakers and the launch of landmark initiatives including the SolarX Startup Challenge and the Our Solar Future roadmap, to an expanded Solar Hub at COP28 featuring 35 sessions with 15 Member Countries and international partners, ISA has continued to strengthen its role as a global platform for advancing solar energy.

At COP29 in Baku, the Solar Hub Pavilion welcomed 1,500+ visitors and hosted 36 sessions with 69+ speakers, alongside engaging formats such as Sunny Side Up fireside chats. At COP30 in Belém, ISA further advanced dialogue across its four strategic pillars: Catalytic Finance Hub, Global Capability Centre and Digitisation, Regional and Country-Level Engagement, and Technology Roadmap and Policy.

At COP31, ISA will build on this momentum to connect policy, finance, technology and implementation, bringing governments, institutions, industry and innovators together to accelerate solar deployment, mobilise investment and translate global ambition into action on the ground, advancing progress towards SDG 7 and SDG 13.
