Change Energy, Change Lives
Renewables are growing exponentially – on course to meet almost half of global electricity demand by the end of this decade – as the most cost-effective power source globally.
The UAE Consensus goals of tripling renewable capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030, plus the COP29 pledge to drive a sixfold increase in energy grids and storage, are possible. But only if we ensure no country is left behind. Historically, lower-income countries have been locked out of the benefits of clean energy, due to a lack of financial and technical support. Now we have an opportunity, and a pledge, to ensure all countries can take part in the renewable energy revolution.
To deliver against these global climate and energy goals, we must join together and accelerate along the highway to private finance, particularly in support of emerging economies by ensuring access to the affordable capital and renewable energy technologies that can change energy and lives.

From the CEO
From the beginning, Woochong Um has been an integral part of GEAPP.
GEAPP, at its core, is an Alliance.
The urgent need for countries to achieve universal access to modern energy while the world reduces its carbon emissions will not be accomplished by a singular organization, but through the buy-in of governments, industry leaders, and communities. To encourage collaboration on and alignment of our carbon, access, and jobs goals, GEAPP regularly convenes its Alliance Partners to seize opportunities, mitigate challenges, and prioritize mission-critical actions.
