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]
(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;
This timeline of sustainable energy research from 2020 to the present documents research and development in renewable energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy, particularly regarding energy production that is sustainable within the Earth system. Renewable energy capacity has steadily grown, led by solar photovoltaic power. [1]
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. REN21 brings together governments, non ...
Record growth in wind and solar last year pushed worldwide electricity generation to its cleanest-ever level, a report found, reflecting a renewable energy boom that researchers say could herald ...
The December 2020 Lancet Countdown review concluded that trends in 2020 showed "a concerning paucity of progress" in numerous sectors, including "a continued failure to reduce the carbon intensity of the global energy system, an increase in the use of coal-fired power, and a rise in agricultural emissions and premature deaths from excess red meat consumption.
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.
English: This chart displays data on global renewable energy production for the year 2023. It highlights the top renewable energy producers in each continent and the percentage of renewable energy generated by each type of source: hydroelectric, solar power, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass and other.
