Can Renewable Energy Policies Keep Pace with Climate Change?

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Andrew Garfield No Comments on Can Renewable Energy Policies Keep Pace with Climate Change?

As the world grapples with the devastating effects of climate change, one question looms large: can our renewable energy policies keep up with the accelerating pace of environmental degradation? The answer, much like the future itself, is far from certain. However, one thing is clear – the status quo is no longer tenable. The need for bold and decisive action in the realm of renewable policy updates has never been more pressing.

In recent years, there has been a marked shift towards renewable energy sources, with countries around the world setting ambitious targets for wind and solar power growth. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that renewable energy accounted for 26% of global electricity generation in 2020, up from just 21% in 2010. This is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change.

However, despite this progress, the pace of change remains uneven and inconsistent. Many countries continue to rely heavily on fossil fuels, and the infrastructure required to support a low-carbon economy is still in its infancy. The IEA warns that in order to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the world must increase its renewable energy capacity by a factor of five between now and 2030.

Against this backdrop, policymakers are scrambling to update their renewable energy policies to meet the urgent needs of the climate crisis. In the European Union, for example, a new Renewable Energy Directive has been proposed that would see at least 32% of the bloc’s energy coming from renewable sources by 2030. In the United States, President Biden’s administration has rolled out a comprehensive climate plan that includes ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment.

But what about the rest of the world? Can developing countries, which are often the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, keep pace with the rapid evolution of renewable energy technologies? And what about the role of emerging economies, such as China and India, which are driving demand for renewable energy but also face significant challenges in scaling up their own renewable energy production?

To answer these questions, it’s essential to examine the latest policy updates from around the world. In India, for instance, the government has set a target of 40% of its electricity generation coming from non-fossil fuels by 2030. In China, the National Energy Administration has unveiled plans to increase the country’s wind power capacity by 50% by 2025. And in Africa, a growing number of countries are introducing innovative policies to support the development of their own renewable energy industries.

As we look to the future, it’s clear that the pace of change in renewable energy policy will only continue to accelerate. The climate crisis demands nothing less. As policymakers, businesses, and civil society organizations, we must work together to ensure that our renewable energy policies are bold, ambitious, and adapted to the rapidly evolving needs of the climate crisis. The clock is ticking – and it’s time to act.
