Study: Global energy transition is too slow

The energy transition is progressing too slowly in key countries. This is the result of a new analysis by the think tank Climate Action Tracker (CAT). The organization examined plans for the expansion of renewable energies and the phase-out of coal and gas in 16 countries. According to the CAT, only a handful of countries are on a path in some areas of the energy transition compatible with the 1.5-degree target. Many countries still rely too heavily on coal and gas-fired power generation.
