IPPC Releases Defining Report on Renewable Energy

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a new authoritative report on renewable energy in Abu Dhabi. The report shows that close to 80% of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by the mid-century, leading to greenhouse gas (GHG) savings equivalent to 220 to 560 gigatons of CO2 between 2010 and 2050.

These GHG savings would help reach the goal recognized in the United Nations Climate Convention's Cancun Agreements, of holding the increase in global temperature below two degrees Celsius.

Expected by many to be a defining study, the report is likely to influence government policy and business investment decisions over the next five years and beyond in the renewable energy sector, driving the Clean Revolution.
