The International Renewable Energy Alliance (IREA) was formed by its founding organizations on 4th June 2004 to enhance policy and information on renewable energy as well as to provide a combined voice for the renewable energy community research, business and industry.
IREA will seek to provide comity and synergy among the existing international renewable energy-related organisations in such a way as to build strength and achieve progress through the sum of its parts.
IREA will provide the potential for a united voice on renewable energy issues and interests among global leaders in the renewable energy community and respective national and international associations.
Goal
The goal of IREA is to foster policies which favour the increased deployment and use of renewable energy by fostering collaboration, removing market barriers, identifying and promoting successful implementation strategies, enhancing business conditions and developing markets. This is to be assisted by the provision of reliable and up to date facts and considerations for more and increasing informed decision making at all levels of national and international policy and to further the principles and goals declared in the 2004 Bonn Declaration on Renewable Energies.
Mission and Membership
IREA will be a coalition advocacy group, building linkages on common interests within the renewable energy community and facilitating information and contacts to other relevant business, technical, conservation, research, civil society, governmental and international organisations.
IREA will provide a common platform for the diverse interests in the renewable energy community comprising associations whose principal activities relate to renewable energy and/or policy development in relation to the use of renewable energy to reduce pollution, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and reduce the problems of security of supply.
IREA will as and when necessary, assemble and publish information, build consensus on forward-looking policy and promote common linkages within the renewable energy community for priority strategies for fast and sustainable development of all renewable energy technologies, the benefits of renewable energy to the public and to mobilise action by its members.
IREA will work with networks and organisations having the advancement of renewable energy as their major purpose.
The founding members of IREA are:
World Wind Energy Association (WWEA)
International Hydropower Association (IHA)
