Raising climate ambition through renewables
Renewable energy is a key solution and the most practical action tool to address climate change. With rapid uptake of renewables, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would be about 70% lower than today, analysis by International Renewable Energy (IRENA) shows.
Beyond achieving climate stability, the shift to renewables offers significant long-term socio-economic advantages and is a cornerstone of sustainable development.
This booklet outlines why accelerating the uptake of renewable energy is key to a climate-safe future.
The booklet is also available in Chinese (中文), Spanish (español), French (français), German (Deutsch), Japanese (日本), Portuguese (português), and Russian (русский).
