The Clean Energy Revolution: Why Governments Must Act Now to Meet the Climate Crisis

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Tom Clansy No Comments on The Clean Energy Revolution: Why Governments Must Act Now to Meet the Climate Crisis

Did you know that in 2020, renewable energy accounted for just 26% of global power generation, despite being the cheapest source of new electricity in over 80% of the world? As the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports, this staggering figure is a far cry from the 80% of global power generation that must come from clean energy sources by 2050 if we are to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Governments around the world are waking up to the reality of the climate crisis, and clean energy regulations are becoming increasingly important in the fight against climate change. From the US to Europe, and from Australia to China, governments are implementing policies to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy.

However, despite these efforts, the pace of progress is still far too slow. The IEA estimates that we need to increase the rate of clean energy deployment by 50% every year for the next decade if we are to meet our climate goals. This is a daunting challenge, but one that governments must rise to if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

So what can governments do to drive the transition to clean energy? Firstly, they must set clear and ambitious targets for clean energy deployment. This means setting a date for when the grid will be 100% powered by clean energy, and setting policies to ensure that this goal is met.

Secondly, governments must create a level playing field for clean energy technologies. This means providing tax incentives, grants, and other forms of support to help new technologies get off the ground. It also means eliminating subsidies for fossil fuels, which are still the primary source of power for many countries.

Thirdly, governments must invest in the infrastructure needed to support the transition to clean energy. This means building new power lines, upgrading the grid, and investing in energy storage technologies.

Finally, governments must engage with civil society and the private sector to drive the transition to clean energy. This means working with businesses to develop new clean energy technologies, and engaging with communities to ensure that the transition is just and equitable.

In conclusion, the transition to clean energy is a critical challenge that governments around the world must rise to if we are to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. By setting clear targets, creating a level playing field, investing in infrastructure, and engaging with civil society and the private sector, governments can drive the transition to a low-carbon economy and create a more sustainable future for all. The clock is ticking, and it’s time for governments to act.
