The 2021 Arctic Report Card noted the first time rain occurred at the Greenland summit of the ice sheet. This fact is one among many propelling action by those who work on country contributions to the Paris Agreement to place limits on the level of warming. All hands on deck action required to meet international agreements.

This change shall facilitate two long-term obligations: achieving a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 and improving Europe`s contribution to the Paris Agreement. With a particular view to the transport sector, the Commission assesses that `the transport sector had the lowest share of renewable energy in 2015, with only 6%.

It’s widely viewed as the “gold standard” for energy projections, even though there’s much debate in the energy community about the validity of the assumptions behind these projections. Renewable energy generation increases faster than any other technology. This year’s projections are a bit grim.

In 2021, South Korea set a target under the Paris Agreement of a 40% cut from 2018 levels by 2030.

goal of the Paris Agreement, but I do think that it will be possible for us to keep warming under 2C and avoid the most devastating effects of climate change. What makes me most optimistic are the recent technological innovations and falling costs for renewable energy generation, battery storage and alternative fuel vehicles.

It’s worth delving into because it has some important implications for our clean energy future. Wind, solar, and other renewables nearly triple, from 22 percent of US electricity generation in 2021 to 60 percent in 2030 and continue to increase to 92 percent in 2050 under our Net Zero Pathway.
