The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is a treaty-based intergovernmental organization, launched in 2015 by India and France, with\u00a0the\u00a0aim of\u00a0mobilizing investments and\u00a0driving\u00a0the deployment of\u00a0solar energy,\u00a0especially\u00a0in “sunshine countries”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detailed Overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Purpose: To\u00a0enable\u00a0energy access,\u00a0promote\u00a0energy security, and\u00a0trigger\u00a0energy transition\u00a0among\u00a0member\u00a0nations\u00a0through\u00a0enhanced\u00a0deployment of solar energy technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Towards 1000” Strategy: The ISA aims to mobilize $1 trillion in solar investments by 2030, while delivering energy access to 1 billion people and installing 1000 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy capacity. Action-Oriented: The ISA is a\u00a0working\u00a0platform for member countries to\u00a0exchange\u00a0information,\u00a0build\u00a0strategies, and\u00a0promote\u00a0partnerships\u00a0towards\u00a0solar energy development.
