Addressing the Seventh Meeting of the ISA Regional Committee for Europe and the Others Region, Mr Filippo Parzolla, Deputy Head of Unit for Multilateral Cooperation highlighted the remarkable growth of solar energy worldwide, noting that solar deployment has tripled since 2024. He emphasised that the European Union’s experience in advancing solar policies, fostering innovation, and expanding access to clean energy offers valuable lessons for countries seeking to accelerate their own energy transitions.
