The Renewables Club is a high-level political alliance aimed at promoting renewable energy, with a view to scale up renewable energy as an essential element of a sustainable and more prosperous future.

"We are determined to work together as advocates and implementers of renewable energy at the global level," said Altmaier. "We in Germany do not stand alone with our Energiewende, but are a part of a strong group of leaders." He further said, "IRENA has made remarkable progress in advancing the renewables agenda, and the Renewables Club will work in support of IRENA's objectives and programmes".
