The world’s clean energy plans still fall almost a third short of what is needed to reach a renewable energy goal for 2030 agreed at UN climate talks last year, the International Energy Agency warned, as delegates from almost 200 countries meet again in Bonn this week.
Haggling over a new climate finance deal, and upgraded national pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions, will take place over 10 days at the UN talks to lay the groundwork for the COP29 climate summit in Baku in November.
Negotiations will also focus on how to make sure the plans agreed at COP28 in Dubai last year are met, including the aim of tripling global renewable energy generation capacity to at least 11,000 gigawatts by 2030.
