Studies suggest that India has the potential to create 35 million green jobs by 2047. New job positions are emerging in the green industry because of climate change.
India, committed to climate mitigation programme, today stands 4th globally in renewable energy installed capacity, 4th in wind power capacity and 5th in solar power capacity, as per International Renewable Energy Agency - Renewable capacity statistics 2023.
It is essentially a delaying tactic; a way to stir up a fierce debate that will detract from genuine solutions; a way to pretend to strive for net zero while essentially doing nothing.
IRENA señala que lo anterior se traduce en triplicar la inversión actual en la materia, de modo que 131 billones de dólares deben fluir hacia el sistema energético para el 2050, dando prioridad a las vías tecnológicas ya las necesidades de infraestructura compatibles con la meta climática.
AIM Congress 2024, a premier global investment platform, concluded its series of pre-event workshops on Monday, 6th May 2024.

The Saudi-listed firm signed the deal with the International Renewable Energy Agency to accelerate the adoption of clean energy worldwide.
Reports from the International Renewable Energy Agency also suggest that to meet global temperature control goals, the cumulative installed capacity of global photovoltaic power generation needs to reach at least 5,200 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. This means that from 2024 to 2030, the average annual growth rate of cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity needs to reach 18.4 percent, and the average annual installed capacity added needs to be higher than 515 GW, roughly equivalent to China's current level of photovoltaic cell production.
Le bozze di documento finale, elaborate dagli sherpa prima di essere sottoposte oggi e domani al vaglio dei ministri, conterrebbero infatti una roadmap molto dettagliata e rapida per l'addio definitivo al più inquinante dei combustibili fossili.
Recent droughts in Colombia and Ecuador have severely hampered energy supplied by hydropower. How viable is the low-carbon renewable in an increasingly hot and dry world?
To fight global warming, "an additional 7 terawatts of renewable energy capacity" is needed in the next five years to stay in sync with Paris Agreement commitments, Denis Depoux, global managing director at German consultancy Roland Berger, told South China Morning Post. The International Renewable Energy Agency in 2023 estimated the global renewable power capacity must grow by around 1,000 gigawatts a year through 2030 to keep the Paris targets alive.
Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) also revealed that a further 40 countries generated at least 50 per cent of the electricity they consumed from renewable energy technologies in 2021 and 2022 – including 11 European countries.
