Over 200 organisations call on governments to Now Deliver Change by setting ambitious, specific and actionable targets on renewables in their updated national climate plans – NDCs.
Of the 195 countries to the Paris Agreement, 177 are yet to submit their national climate plans - NDCs.
Saint Lucia and the UK leads on ambition. The UK has set a target for 95% clean energy generation by 2030 and Saint Lucia have set renewables targets for 2030 and 2035 of 40% respectively 46%.
Marshall Islands, Singapore, Saint Lucia, the UAE and the UK have set renewables targets in their submitted NDCs.
Renewables are one of the fastest, cleanest, most cost-effective and secure ways to reduce pollution and transition away from fossil fuels in this crucial decade. Yet, despite record-breaking growth, deployment is still way below achieving 1.5°C temperature goals and the global target to triple renewable energy by 2030.
Collective action from governments, individuals, communities, public and private sectors can make a difference and accelerate the pace of renewable energy growth. Political leaders have a chance to drive investment and accelerate the clean energy transition over the next 12 months by setting specific and actionable renewable energy targets in their national climate plans (NDCs) and supporting global targets for energy storage and grids.
This call to world leaders spells out this unique opportunity governments have to Now Deliver Change – it is supported by a global coalition of stakeholders from industry, finance and civil society, and is part of the Mission 2025 cross-sectorial advocacy.
The world needs 3xRenewables for a clean, secure and just future.
Ember has analysed the renewables ambition in the 13 submitted NDCs by February 10 2025.
