A global target for the expansion of renewables was also debated in the hallways of SB58. A joint global target is to help accelerate the expansion of renewables. High representatives of the EU Commission and COP28 President Al Jaber even seem to agree on the targets. According to Al Jaber, a global target to triple renewable energies will be agreed upon at COP28. The target has been agreed with the EU Commission. After a meeting with Al Jaber, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and climate Czar Frans Timmermans announced the same target of tripling current renewable capacity.
