The agreement also called for a tripling of global renewable energy capacity by 2030, [4] [75] the development of numerous "zero- and low-emission technologies", [4] further efforts "towards the phase-down of unabated coal power" [4] and a cut in methane emissions. [75]
At the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, around three-quarters of the world's countries set a goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030. [26] The European Union aims to generate 40% of its electricity from renewables by the same year.
In its March 2024 publication, IRENA highlighted a marked rise in global renewable electricity capacity, with an increase of 473 gigawatts (GW) in 2023. This figure represents 86% of all newly installed power generation capacity during that year.
REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century) is a policy network and a multistakeholder governance group which is focused on renewable energy policy. REN21's goal is to facilitate policy development, knowledge exchange, and joint action towards a rapid global transition to renewable energy .
Later that year, the G20 committed to tripling the global renewable energy capacity by 2030. The Increasing Ambition project (2022) successfully persuaded 20 prospective members of RE100, operating in less mature renewable energy markets, to commit to more ambitious target dates of 2040 or earlier for achieving 100% renewable electricity.
