As of 2023, the conference has grown to more than 1,500 attendees from 53 countries and 45 U.S. states. [15] The Net Zero Conference has previously been held at the LEED Gold certified Los Angeles Convention Center, [16] but will be held at the LEED certified Anaheim Convention Center in 2024.
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]
In California, the clean energy economy provides 16% of clean energy jobs within the United States, which includes the 26.5% employment rates for renewable energy occupations. [38] California had employed the most people during the COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2020), with a total of 485,000 new employees that is 3% of California's work force. [39]
(a) Tripling renewable energy capacity globally and doubling the global average annual rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030; (d) Transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science;
In 2020, California had a total summer capacity of 78,055 MW through all of its power plants, and a net energy generation of 193,075 GWh. [3] Its electricity production was the third largest in the nation behind Texas and Florida.
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.
This would make a total of 277.77 gigawatts of renewable available by 2024 up 23.1% from 2018. Using this generating capability and the capacity factors from 2018 data will result in a total of 798.19 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electric energy in 2023. This would be up 61.84 TWh (+8.3%) from 2018.
In 2022, the total global photovoltaic capacity increased by 228 GW, with a 24% growth year-on-year of new installations. As a result, the total global capacity exceeded 1,185 GW by the end of the year. [9] Asia was the biggest installer of solar in 2022, with 60% of new capacity and 60% of total capacity.
