June 27, 2024

Paraguay is the 100th country to become a full member of the International Solar Alliance. A formal ceremony was held in New Delhi to mark this important step in the growth of ISA. Fleming Raul Duarte, Paraguay’s ambassador to India, gave the Instrument of Ratification. The event shows that Paraguay is serious about promoting clean energy.

What is the Purpose of the International Solar Alliance?

India and France helped to start the International Solar Alliance at the COP21 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in 2015. The ISA’s main goal is to make it easier for many people to use solar energy and to support healthy growth around the world. Its main goal is to work together with countries that get a lot of sun to make energy more accessible, improve energy security, and help the world move to a low-carbon economy.

Membership and Global Reach

119 countries have signed the ISA’s Framework Agreement, showing that it has grown a lot since it began. Since Paraguay became a full member, there are now 100 of them. Spain was the 99th country to join earlier this year. This growth shows that people around the world are becoming more committed to green energy technologies and the goals that everyone agreed upon in the Paris Climate Agreement.

Objectives and Impact of ISA

The ISA wants to get more than USD 1 trillion invested in solar technologies and uses by 2030 so that they can be used by a lot of people. It gives member states a way to work together and helps them make rules and habits that encourage the growth of solar energy. The ISA is very important for reducing climate change and making sure the world has enough energy because it supports clean and long-lasting energy. In order to reach these goals, the ISA continues to encourage countries to work together, which speeds up the move toward renewable energy sources around the world.
