International Day of Clean Energy is celebrated on January 26. It is a big day to spread the word about how important renewable energy is for a green and healthy future.

Today is a reminder of how important clean energy is for preventing climate change, cutting down on carbon emissions, and making sure that future generations will live on a healthier world. 

26 January also marks the founding date of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a global intergovernmental agency established in 2009 to support countries in their energy transitions, serve as a platform for international cooperation, and provide data and analyses on clean energy technology, innovation, policy, finance and investment..
