Les énergies renouvelables ralentissent, rendant difficile l’objectif de tripler les capacités
AI Article Summary

The growth of renewable energy is slowing, jeopardizing the goal of tripling global capacity by 2030, as set during COP28. Although wind and solar have surpassed coal in global electricity share, policy changes in the US and China are hindering further expansion.
