IRENA's Global Energy Transformation roadmap emphasizes that achieving climate goals requires tripling renewable power capacity and doubling the rate of _____ by 2030.
- fossil fuel extraction
- energy efficiency improvement
- nuclear plant construction
- hydropower dam building
Answer: energy efficiency improvement
IRENA's analysis shows that limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires not only scaling up renewables but also doubling the global average rate of energy efficiency improvement. This reduces overall energy demand and accelerates the clean energy transition cost-effectively.
