| New renewables to power 40 per cent of global electricity demand by 2050 With global cooperation and investment, renewables’ share will exceed all previous estimates With adequate financial and political support, renewable energy technologies like wind and photovoltaics could supply 40 percent of the world’s electricity by 2050, according to findings from the International Scientific Congress “Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges & Decisions.” However, if such technologies are marginalized, its share is likely to hover below 15 percent. |
