its <strong>Annual Report 2023</strong>, highlighting a year of significant achievements amidst global challenges, including geopolitical tensions and the ongoing impact of climate change. With record-high global temperatures reaching 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels, WBA’s advocacy for bioenergy as a key solution for climate goals beyond 2030 took on greater urgency. <br /><br /></span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Key Highlights from 2023: </span></strong></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><span style="font-size: medium;">Despite these global challenges, WBA continued to expand its role in the renewable energy sector, particularly through the release of the <strong>Global Bioenergy Statistics 2023</strong> report, which underscored bioenergy’s indispensable contributions to heat, electricity, and transport fuels. <br /><br /></span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><span style="font-size: medium;">WBA organized seven successful webinars, with over 2,500 participants, covering diverse topics such as biomass development, green cooking, and bioenergy’s role in meeting energy security goals. The <strong>General Assembly 2023</strong> in Beijing, China, held alongside the International Conference on Biomass and Heating, provided a platform for crucial discussions on bioenergy’s future. <br /><br /></span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><span style="font-size: medium;">The year also saw WBA's participation in global events like GBEP Bioenergy Week in Thailand and <strong>COP28</strong> in Dubai, where WBA had a notable presence with a three-day exhibition, a press conference, and several side events. </span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><span style="font-size: medium;">In addition, WBA launched <a href="%20http:/propellets.africa" target="_blank">Propellets.Africa</a>, a platform focused on pellet production in Africa and maintained its focus on advancing biomass cooking technologies through its <strong>Advanced Biomass Cooking</strong> working group. <br /><br /></span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4"><span style="font-size: medium;">Throughout the year, WBA also strengthened its collaborations with global organizations like IRENA, REN21, and the GBEP, enhancing its influence in the renewable energy sector. <br /><br /></span></p> </div> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW139823016 BCX4"> <p class="Paragraph SCXW139823016 BCX4" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">WBA’s progress in 2023 was made possible by the continued support of our members, whose contributions drive our global efforts.
