1.5 TW of wind, solar capacity needed each year by 2030 to limit temperature to 1.5 °C
A new analysis which applies sustainability limits and minimises the need for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) finds new wind and solar needs to be installed five times faster by 2030 at a rate of 1.5 TW a year to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Global wind and solar capacity needs to increase to around 10 TW by the end of this decade, up from 2 TW in 2022. Image Courtesy: Pexels
