Record renewables capacity falls short of global target, REN21 says

A record 740 GW of renewable energy capacity was added worldwide last year, still not enough to meet a global goal to triple renewable capacity by 2030, a report by the Paris-based think tank REN21 showed on Tuesday. A target was set at the COP28 UN climate conference in 2023 to triple the amount of renewables such as wind and solar to keep a 1.5 °C warming limit this century within reach.
