Global cooperation key to climate success

China Daily  

International Renewable Energy Agency chief: More efforts needed to address environmental issues, reach carbon goals Accelerated global action is urgently needed to reach climate goals and cooperation is essential to advance collective efforts, as the world is currently off track in achieving the goal of tripling the installed capacity of renewable energy by 2030, set at the 2023 COP28 climate conference, said Francesco La Camera, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency. "China is providing the world the panel, the blade, storage facilities at a reasonable price … the country is pushing the global energy transition," said La Camera. "China is currently at the forefront of renewable energy deployment worldwide … It is noteworthy that approximately 40 percent of global solar capacity is located in China. According to the NEA, innovative energy storage systems, distinct from traditional methods like pumped storage hydropower, have served as vital "super power banks" for renewable energy, significantly bolstering power supply during peak demand.
