At COP28 in Dubai, 118 countries spoke out in support of an ambitious expansion pathway for renewable energy capacities. Tripling renewables and doubling energy efficiency by 2030 is one of the most crucial projects to be implemented at this COP. To achieve this, renewable energy capacity would have to increase from 3,600 gigawatts (2022) to 11,000 GW (eleven terawatts). The signatories include developed countries, numerous developing and island states as well as emerging economies.
