I also found out at the end of last year that there is another new 'energy'
organization, IRENA. With headquarters in Abu Dhabi, the International Renewable
Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation for promoting the
adoption of renewable energy worldwide. The European Union and 148 countries are
Signatories and 65 countries already ratified the Statute. The organization will
take its form as an international organization this April. The International
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was officially established in Bonn on January 26
2009. At the Founding Conference 75 States from all over the world signed the
Agency's Statute. The founding of IRENA was preceded by several meetings that
paved the way for establishing the Agency.
I assume at some point they will adopt a flag.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was officially established
in Bonn on 26 January 2009. 148 states and the European Union signed the Statute
of the Agency, amongst them are 48 African, 38 European, 35 Asian, 17 American
and 10 Australia/Oceania States.
Mandated by these governments worldwide, IRENA promote the widespread and
increased adoption and sustainable use of all forms or renewable energy. Acting
as the global voice for renewable energies, IRENA facilitate access to all
relevant renewable energy information, including technical data, economic data
and renewable resource potential data. IRENA share experiences on best practices
and lessons learned regarding policy frameworks, capacity-building projects,
available finance mechanisms and renewable energy related energy efficiency
measures.
With the establishment of the Preparatory Commission, the Agency began work the
day after the Founding Conference on 27 January 2009. The Preparatory Commission
consists of IRENA's Signatory States and acts as the interim body during the
founding period. The Commission will be dissolved after entry into force of the
Statute, which will occur upon the 25th deposit of an instrument of ratification
and the first Assembly is held. The Agency will then consist of an Assembly, a
Council, and a Secretariat.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
has a new logo and flag, both
were approved on 05 April 2011 during the fifth session of the Preparatory
Commission and the first session of the IRENA Assembly in Abu Dhabi, United Arab
Emirates (UAE).

Report about approval of new logo:
http://www.iisd.ca/download/pdf/enb3004e.pdf (page 4)
"Adnan Amin, Director-General of IRENA, explained that the Preparatory
Commission engaged a professional designer to create a logo for the Agency. He
said the proposed logo aimed to represent the infinite nature of renewable
energy and its worldwide scope. He also noted that a new blue color was
proposed. The Assembly approved the new logo and color by consensus."

Perhaps they have a flag already. See attached
picture with desk flag.

It looks like "IRENA" in capital red letters
in what looks like Arial font on plain white. Here is the photo link:

was at the 4th Session of the IRENA prepatory commission)
This might be a temporary symbol, or not. But since it is not a UN specialized
agency, it makes sense that it is not using the standard white logo on UN blue.
Ben Cahoon, 11 March 2011
Beside the table flag there are two more flags used by IRENA.
The logo (possibly used on flags) is red letters of IRENA and its full name in
grey. The Preparatory Commission uses a similar flag but with its title above
the logo with black letters.

The fourth prepatory commission was held 24-25 Oct 2010. The first session of
the new IRENA assembly and the election of a secretary-general will take place
on 4-5 April 2011.
The IRENA Statute entered into force on 8 July 2010.
"July 8, 2010 IRENA's statute enters into force
The International Renewable Energy Agency becomes a fully fledged International
Organization. Created in January 2009 with 75 Member States, IRENA has grown in
just over a year to become one of the largest international organizations. 147
countries and the European Union already signed its statute.
The 25th instrument of ratification was deposited in Berlin on June 8th and
according to Article XIX, the treaty enters into force 30 days after. 29 Member
States have now ratified the Treaty."

In June 2009, Abu Dhabi was elected as IRENA's Headquarters. The first
international organization of the 21st century is also the first to be
headquartered in the Gulf Region.
