US to triple renewable energy by 2030


T

he US will triple its renewable energy capacity in less than 15 years. Yes, you read that right. Triple renewables by 2030.

That’s just one of several headline takeaways on a Tuesday of big announcements from Brazil, China, and the US – three of the world’s top greenhouse gas emitters – with major implications for the UN climate talks in Paris later this year.

First, China released its long-awaited commitments for the Paris talks – known as its intended nationally determined contribution (INDC).

Meanwhile, back in DC, US President Barack Obama met with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to discuss strategies for fighting climate change, with a statement following announcing a new joint commitment from the two nations.
