China to head green energy boom with 60% of new projects in next six years

"The #IEA’s highly influential #RenewableEnergy report found that over the next six years renewable energy projects will roll out at three times the pace of the previous six years, led by the clean energy programmes of #China and #India."

theguardian.com/environment/20…

in reply to CelloMom On Cars

The IEA report:

"Due to supportive policies and favourable economics, the world’s renewable power capacity is expected to surge over the rest of this decade, with global additions on course to roughly equal the current power capacity of China, the European Union, India and the United States combined."

iea.org/news/massive-global-gr…

in reply to CelloMom On Cars

"Governments around the world agreed to triple renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade during pivotal United Nations climate talks at a summit in Dubai last year. As the annual climate negotiations kick off again this week, there’s been some progress on that goal — but not nearly enough."
