Global Renewable Energy Goals Lag Behind COP28 Targets

IEA report reveals current national ambitions fall short of tripling clean energy capacity by 2030 despite significant progress.

Countries' current plans would only increase renewable energy by 2.2 times, not the targeted 3 times by 2030.
Only 14 out of 194 countries have set explicit targets to boost renewable power as part of their official pledges.
Solar and wind power are leading the surge in renewable energy, driven by decreasing costs and geopolitical factors.
Experts warn that achieving these goals requires substantial investment in grid upgrades and energy storage.
Significant progress in countries like China, Brazil, and Germany shows potential, but global commitments remain insufficient.
