At the COP28 summit, world leaders have called for a global push to triple renewable energy capacity and "transition away" from fossil fuels.

118 countries have signed the ‘Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge’ on Saturday (2 December) at COP28 in Dubai to treble global installed capacity by 2030.

Greater strategic coordination of solar worldwide is needed to help meet climate goals, the new CEO of the Global Solar Council has said.

The COP28 meeting kicking off in Dubai today will be arguably the biggest ever for solar, says new Global Solar Council chief, Sonia Dunlop.

International trade association Global Solar Council (GSC) has appointed Sonia Dunlop as its new CEO, taking over ad interim CEO Gianni Chianetta.

Nearly 1TW of under-development solar and wind generation globally could be constructed in the next three years if permitting is accelerated through open call procedures and a series of fast-track measures.

The global solar community has called for “robust and fast policies” alongside increased international cooperation to accelerate PV deployment and the energy transition.

Almost two thirds of people working in the solar industry expect to see double-digit sales growth this year, according to initial findings from a Global Solar Council survey.

Despite dozens of net-zero targets being announced and deployment of renewable energy ramping up globally over the past year, just 10% of countries have shown “steady and consistent” progress in their energy transition plans, according to a new report from the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Global Solar Council (GSC) have called on Mexican lawmakers to prevent changes to the country’s Electricity Act, Ley de la Industria Electrica (LIE), which pose what they call “an unequivocal threat" to private investment in clean energy.
