The US has joined the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) as part of the government's commitment to developing a new energy policy.
The move is as part of an initiative to develop clean, renewable energy, said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The IRENA "will engage governments around the world in promoting a rapid transition towards the widespread and sustaibale use of renewable energy on a global scale," Clinton said.
Clinton said renewable sources of energy will be the growth industry of the 21st century and will help safeguard the health of the planet.
IRENA was established in January to promote development of the renewable energy industry worldwide.
So far, 135 nations have joined the IRENA which will be headquartered in the UAE.
Clinton's statement came after US Ambassador Reno Harnish, Acting Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science, signed the statute at the second session of the IRENA Preparatory Commission in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
