A comprehensive, country-level analysis tracking progress towards global energy targets, this report forecasts the deployment of renewable energy technologies while exploring challenges and identifying barriers preventing faster growth. The report finds that global renewable capacity is expected to grow by 2.7 times by 2030 but still falls short of the targets set at COP 28.

Queensland may be known as the Sunshine State, but it’s also Australia’s ground zero when it comes to climate fuelled disasters.
