Renewable energy in 8 major economies—Brazil, China, the EU, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and the U.S.—will more than double their production by 2030. According to a study by a World Resources Institute (WRI) think tank, the increase is due to new national climate and energy plans. Jennifer Morgan, Global Director for the Climate Program at WRI said, “Combined with the Paris climate agreement, it’s clear that renewable energy is poised to surge forward in the next 15 years, bringing clean and affordable power to millions of people worldwide.”
