GENEVA: World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that the supply of electricity from clean energy sources must double until the end of this decade in order to mitigate global warming.
According to the report of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) “If this will not be achieved, climate change, extreme weather, and water stress may severely undermine our energy security and jeopardize renewable energy supplies,”.
WMO chief Petteri Taalas said that switching to cleaner energy generation and improving energy efficiency is vital if we are to thrive in the 21st century”.
The WMO head said, “Net zero by 2050 is the aim. But we will only get there if we double the supply of low-emissions electricity within the next eight years.”
But current renewable energy pledges by countries fall well short of what is needed to reach the goal of universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy, by 2030, said WMO.
Reports said with the energy sector responsible for around 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Meanwhile, daily, weekly and seasonal rain and stream flow forecasts, are helpful to optimize hydropower operations.
