COP29 Green Energy Pledge: Green Energy Zones and Corridors
The Green Energy Zones and Corridors initiative, launched under the COP29 Presidency in collaboration with UNIDO, UNECE, and UNESCAP, supports the global commitment made at COP28 to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. The initiative promotes the development of Green Energy Zones—dedicated hubs for clean energy generation, economic growth, and infrastructure enhancement—and Green Energy Corridors, which facilitate the long-distance transmission of renewable electricity from remote generation sites to consumption centers via high-voltage transmission lines. Together, these efforts aim to accelerate the energy transition, attract investment, foster sustainable development, and enhance regional and cross-border energy connectivity.
