IRENA And Partners Report Warns That The Pace Of Renewable Energy And Energy Efficiency Expansion Is Below What Is Required To Contain Global Warming And Meet The Paris Agreement.

Ahead of the COP30, the international community received a stern warning. A report published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), in partnership with the Brazilian presidency of the conference and the Global Renewable Energy Alliance (GRA), reveals that while investment in renewable energy grew by 7% in 2024, the pace is still far below what is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

During a high-level meeting held in Brasília, representatives of the organizations presented worrying data. The global added renewable energy capacity in 2024 hit a historic record of 582 gigawatts (GW). Still, the result is insufficient compared to global targets set in the UAE Consensus, established at COP28, which challenges the world to triple capacity by 2030, reaching 11.2 terawatts (TW).

Distant Targets And Insufficient Growth Rate

To achieve the established goal, it will be necessary to add 1,122 GW per year starting in 2025, requiring an annual growth rate of 16.6%—far above the current pace.

IRENA And The Role Of Major Economies In The Transition

IRENA’s Director-General, Francesco La Camera, highlighted that renewable energies represent “the most economical climate solution and the greatest economic opportunity of our time.” He emphasized that accelerating deployment, modernizing grids, and strengthening supply chains are crucial steps.

“Every dollar invested generates growth, jobs, and energy security. By raising targets, mobilizing financing, and deepening cooperation, major economies can lead the energy transition and turn COP30 into a historic milestone,” he stated.

According to the report, the G20 is expected to account for more than 80% of global renewable energy capacity by 2030, while G7 nations should represent about 20% of global capacity. This concentration reinforces the leadership role of major economies in the race towards carbon neutrality.

For his part, the President of the Global Renewable Energy Alliance (GRA), Ben Backwell, reminded that the solar, wind, and hydropower industries have already demonstrated significant results in job creation and energy stability.

“What is needed now are long-term government plans that match national ambitions. We need to create project portfolios that go beyond the paper stage, with concrete actions in grids and storage to maximize the benefits of energy transition. This report shows that the march towards an abundance of renewable energy has already begun—and it’s time to accelerate it,” he said.

The message reinforces that governments need to integrate their renewable energy targets into national climate plans (NDC 3.0) and raise their contributions to meet collective goals.

Climate Financing And Global Commitments

Another key point of the report relates to international climate financing. Developed countries are urged to meet the minimum commitment of US$ 300 billion annually set by the New Quantified Collective Goal (NCQG). In addition, they should aim for the aspirational level of US$ 1.3 trillion established at COP29, held in Azerbaijan.

This support is essential for emerging economies and developing countries to build clean infrastructures, modernize their grids, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

IRENA also highlighted that the future of the energy transition strongly depends on modernizing electricity grids. Without this investment, the expansion of renewable energies may be limited by technical bottlenecks and lack of integration capacity.

Between 2025 and 2030, approximately US$ 670 billion per year will be needed solely for grid modernization, along with new resources for energy storage solutions and to ensure the stability of national electrical systems.

The combination of solar and wind energy along with new storage technologies promises greater resilience but requires coordinated public policies, regulatory incentives, and international cooperation.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
